  1. that is pretty stark and laid bare. The success of our season hinges on about limiting goals conceded. We were doing it for awhile (see unbeaten streak) the only reason our dip in form in the last 8 matches has not been as bad as the dip at the beginning of the season is the 18 scored v. 12 scored. I am not going to be blaming Stephens, but RM needs to figure it out.
  2. hadn't thought of Djenepo in quite awhile. Took a look. He is not exactly tearing it up in Belgium. 22 appearances 1432 minutes 1 goal 0 assists As far as Sulemana - for those who are saying he needs a run of starts under his belt ; can we risk that? I am of the opinion a player has to earn his start with the chances given to him, whether it be performance on the training ground or precious minutes during a match. He has certainly not earned it based on the 20 minutes he is getting on the pitch nearly every match. And i am guessing RM is not exactly seeing a goal machine on the training ground either.
  3. those were really good finishes by Rothwell - how often do we see opportunities like that sail over the crossbar? Rothwell - 268 minutes | 4 goals Sulemana - 824 minutes | 0 goals
  4. I wanted to dissect that play again because it is easy to say : that open man should be covered by our LB. So the conventional thought would be Manning is to blame. Is it something as simple as Manning just switched off? Or is there something else there, because Manning looks like he is actually marking a man centrally that our CB (cant tell who it is) seems to have either decided 1) is not his responsibility or 2) is unaware he is there and Manning has stepped up or 3) has decided to intentionally play him offside and cut him adrift (if it is 3, Manning shouldn't be anywhere near there) Just putting it out there as it is easy to just say if an opponent is wide open on the right, the LB is 100% at fault. Maybe something more complicated is causing the breakdown (back 4 organization, communication (lack of), etc. Not sure. Maybe a few more technical posters on here could weigh in.
  5. it's a funny ole game, you know? anything could happen. We could finish the season on a 12 match unbeaten streak - or not who predicted the 20something unbeaten streak back in Sept?
  6. so he could hang out in our physio room all season?
  7. not to be the turd in the punchbowl, but we need to sort ourselves out defensively. Stop messing around with our back four. Bree needs to start THB back at CB i get why Stephens is playing today with KWP out, but he is not the answer. last 6 league matches 3 goals allowed 3 goals allowed 0 goals allowed 2 goals allowed 2 goals allowed 3 goals allowed it's a bit of a miracle we got 9 points from that! ^
  8. I reckon Martin would like Sulemana if he scored goals.
  9. he should only start matches against clubs he has scored against. Next Wednesday it is!
  10. Puel has gone to prove he was never going to be the answer. His winning percentage has gotten worse for each new club who has hired him since Lyon. Lyon 18 June 2008 20 June 2011 156 76 44 36 48.72 Nice 23 May 2012 24 May 2016 169 69 38 62 40.83 Southampton 30 June 2016 14 June 2017 53 20 13 20 37.74 Leicester City 25 October 2017 24 February 2019 67 23 18 26 34.33 Saint-Étienne 4 October 2019 5 December 2021 88 26 23 39 29.55
  11. He is having a pretty typical JWP season at West Ham, like most seasons he had with Saints, with one exception - no free kicks. you know, 5 to 7 goals from open play, and handful of assists (mostly due to the fact he is on the pitch every minute of every match)
  12. yes, but note the level of complaint.. 1st goal allowed - loads, loads of complaints 2nd goal allowed - not one complaint 3rd goal allowed - some grumbling, but yeah, that is football sometimes that 1st goal should have been saved and my guess is Bazunu and Dean Thornton would agree.
  13. that was a weird game.. Glad we won, but that is the first time in a long time where we didn't dictate the style of play at all.
  14. the ball went bloody under him. dreadful goalkeeping.
