Edmonton Saint Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 0-0 Not good enough against 10 men. Forward players lost their confidence in front of goal, Pelle a shadow of the player he was at the start of the season. Don't understand why we took Mane off, Davis would have been a better swap for Djuricic. So frustrating. 1 point from 6 at home against sides we should be beating.

Bearsy Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Decent performance, made West Ham look second rate from pretty much the first minute Would have been nice to have a Goalscorer sat on the bench tho. Like a Defoe or someone like that. Something to think about for the Summer, Koemans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Only 5 minutes!? 3 minutes for all the subs and then there was 3 minutes wasted after the red card, plus the physio on twice! Then he signals that he's adding time on for their timewasting but plays exactly the 5 minutes signalled. Refs a c*nt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Ffs,we have no divine right to win. A point against Swansea would have been handy now, and even more so at the end of the season.

Jack Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Wasteful in the final third. West Ham came to frustrate us and succeeded. Lots to work on for Koeman. We're great at the back and in the centre of the park, but we're not putting chances away like we were earlier in the season. Still, another clean sheet and another point on the board.

Lighthouse Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Disappointing, that result is definitely in the '2 points dropped' category. West Ham came for a point and stuck to their plan superbly, so it's not like this was an easy game to win but still very frustrating. Pelle seems to have lost his mojo, I really don't get why we didn't get another striker in in January. Perhaps we went for someone and didn't get him but there is definitely space for another striker (literally) on our bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 (edited) As my school reports used to say: Not Good Enough. Need to beat 10 men mid table cloggers at home if we were to have any hope of Europe. Think this might be the midweek that we finally proved the doubters right and slipped. We will be 7th come the start of March. Edited 11 February, 2015 by Pancake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of other teams will come to us and set up like that. The Swansea game and tonight have proved we are simply not good enough at breaking teams down. Pelle's really lost his shooting boots too.

BigShadow Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 One point at home from two games against a demoralised Swansea and 9.5 man West Ham. Simply not good enough. Pelle doesn't look like ever scoring again - Tadic can't get the ball out of his feet half the time. And why are we trying to walk the ball into the net? Just fckin shoot FFS.

Crab Lungs Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Don't think its a reason to panic however disappointing the result. Plenty of opportunities v Hull, Villa, Palace, Burnley at home. Players just need to loosen up, going forward it looks like we're tense and it comes across as lacking in imagination. It's not, they're just anxiety ridden. Just need one or two goals in the next home game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killers Knee Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Too many players are not willing to take the responsibility of taking the shot, they shirk the responsibility and take an extra pass or move into a congested area instead of moving into space. Time to up the goal bonus, and JWP should stop his floaty passes into the box and dribble an extra 10 yards and shoot, more chance of the keeper spilling it than us winning a header in the box.

Micky Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 We're at the business end of the season now and beginning to choke. 2 home losses and a strained win against a very poor qpr side would suggest that we are beginning to fall away. Meanwhile the usual suspects are coming on strongly. Pellet has contributed, but has been woeful I'm front of goal, and as confidence drains nobody else seems to want to take responsibility. I noticed in a recent interview RK spoke about finishing sixth or seventh, perhaps preparing people for a more realistic league position. Ultimately, very disappointing, I fear we are on the down.

ART Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Never should have removed Mané. He'd have scored in the way the game panned out towards the end. An immense 3 points lost to add to those lost against Swansea who couldn't beat West Brom tonight. No goals and we'll soon lose our position in the coming weeks.

Dark Munster Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Very good bus-parkery by Wham. Pele has lost his confidence.

West Ham doing what SA is good at. Also I try to look at the points tally from both games not just the last compared to this. So four points from a possible six against West Ham.

Not a great result and we should have done better and we need another striker but we're 4th...still leaving the dream and enjoying it.
