Look guys whatever we say . whatever team we put forward is not going to matter, Zola is the guv and he decides. I could not agree more we a lot of the arguments, especially the right and left sided players playing on the wrong side, Diamanti..should he play behind the strikers, where is Collison etc Mido., Ilan, McCarthy??? I just wish he could settle on a team and be consistent, and "react" when things do not go right not just substitute players and carry on as is......We have to get behind them..it is "our club" how many managers and players have come and gone in the past 50 years that I have supported them! By the way lads, we have never been relegated while I have been in the old dart,,,1988, 2001, we were close then..so if you want to have a whip round I will come back over!!
good one sunshine, I go back 50 years and agree!
I said months ago that Pompey, Burnley and Hull would go down and thought we would be reasonably comfortable by now..but our performances have been absolute rubbish. Blame Zola and Clarke for tactics, game plans against different opposition, and blame the players for not even doing the basics right...ball control for one, passing, movement etc, they are supposed to be professionals, bad tactics should not make bad players as such, not for basic football skills that they should all have. Cole has no first touch again, Faubert cannot cross the ball consistently, we do not have any wing players and overlapping full backs (although I reckon Daprella is capable of this and has shown the desire) Defenders do not defend...silly to ssay but true..Upson 3rd choice for England?? Joke! Green has no confidence and does not seem to care and that worries me!! I also agree fully with Wavid..we do not put out a consistent team (barring injuries). Stoke becomes an even bigger game now.....COYI...show the passion that we have...
Does anyone believe Bilic would come to us now? Wakey, wakey it's only 1.20 in the afternoon!!
I also wear my shirt with pride...always have done but I do cop stick from customers and reps etc...also the local club that we sponsor...but you know a cockney is never short of an answer eh?
I really wanted to see Stan and Faubert on the right and Diamanti and Deprella on the left and hopefully spread the play and get balls into the box from the goalline for Cole and McCarthy to attack....did not happen did it! We do have players of great ability (not you Kovac!) most would get into a lot of teams in the premiership...but it is so lacking in tactics, effort, and the real desire to play for the shirt... I also believe that 34 points will be enough..but where do we get them after this poor effort? I will always be West Ham Till I Die...have supported them for 50 years and seen a lot, but this is some of the worst...can a new manager change it now at this late stage??
What the hell happened from the Brum and Hull games....I accept the Mnaure result although we could have done a bit better there as well...but it has got to be sorted real quick...I would like to see Daprella..I was impressed with him against the gooners...anyway i could write a book about it...but sort it out or get out GZ ( and I like him!)...COYI two 0-0 draws coming up then two home wins!!
I was born in West Ham, supported the hammers for 50 years and used to stand in the chicken run...one of the old chicken run choir! I still love and support my team as much now as ever and have been able to follow them through pay tv and have watched virtually every game home and away for the past 3 seasons...mostly at 2am ..the game against Bolton was one of the worst displays I have seen...surely GZ and Sc knew all about them..we do! He really needs to shape them up and pick players that want to play for us as some (Upson, Cole , Green...our England heroes!! I think not) Reading some of the comments, we all have an opinion..mine is that Upson should have been the leader..he is the experienced CH and should be helping Tomkins...Upson should have taken charge of Davies and snuffed him out but he didn't and he looked totally disinterested and was lazy in shutting down players.
