West Ham (H) Carabao Cup 26/08: Build Up & Match Thread

[leedswolf]

Putting ourselves back under pressure with an unecessary Podencesque flick to nobody from a throw in giving away possession.

 

[Loki]

Soucek and Bowen enjoy playing against us.

 

[YoungWolf]

Sorry guys, I turned on at half time - my fault

 

[big mean bunny]

Decent assist though, due to the in swing and angle it's tricky for a keeper to commit to that too early.

It's a great cross, on his wrong foot.

Reasonable ball in and that big lug will always have a good chance of scoring if he gets a run on it.

Where's the pressure though, and we just handed possession away for no reason.

 

[Jinky]

Silly challenge from Agbadou there. That would be a red in the PL with VAR, IMO.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I like Agba a lot but he can be fucking wild at times.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That's what having a right winger at wing back gets you.

Gomes had no impact on the goal did he?

 

[jd1981]

That’s a really poor tackle

 

[Jack Regan]

That's a red card that.

Gomes had no impact on the goal did he?

Other than letting Soucek run in front of him no...

 

[jd1981]

Gomes had no impact on the goal did he?

The fact that soucek ghosted past him

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bellegarde playing better second half.

Although why do we have so many confusing footballers? I still don't know what he is and we signed him two years ago.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Other than letting Soucek run in front of him no...

Apologies, yes. I thought i'd missed something prior to the cross.

To be fair to Gomes though, he's going to struggle to deal with Soucek, some one else should be taking responsibility really. One of the 3 6ft plus monsters.

 

[Jinky]

Vítor won’t do this, but I’d get Jackson, Joao & JSL on for Rodrigo, Bellegarde & Hwang and go win the game.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

“Disappointing conclusion “ is a very kind way of saying “Shit attempt at a cross” from Mosquera.

 

[prawnking]

Even though they're all getting blocked, I like how Arias doesn't mind having a shot.

Nice to see Hugo geeing the crowd up too

 

[Hereford Wolf]

Can I say we are playing quite well?

 

[Jinky]

1-2.

Another cross not dealt with.
