Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs - Match Thread (EFL Cup)

[shelfboy68]

Yes, with over 40 years of experience. The fact is we have not pushed on, this season and last have seen us go bavkwards. Blame on Levy or whatever you want, but it is a fact.

As someone who also has supported the club for a long time I would say that I have seen worse much worse and at the moment 5th place is about right from a financial perspective with the means that we have.
I would not say that we have gone backwards but to go forwards will require massive financial outlay that the club doesn't have.

'The future's bright.............

Possibly my most hated phrase in regards to Spurs, been hearing that shit for 20 years, would at some point like to hear the future is present, ie we win some trophies...

Agree absolutely. Maybe because we've stagnated over the last year and a bit, due to lack if incomings, it's appears we've gone backwards a tad.

N'Koudou's a strange one. There is something about his play that I like - maybe because he busts a gut knowing it'll be the last time to be on the pitch for the next three months. Still considering how much time was spent on getting him signed it's bizarre how his time has turned out.

I don’t think there is any doubt Poch is a stubborn bugger

The pitch invasions from the West Ham fans were a disgrace and a danger to both sets of players on the pitch.

The pitch invader before the Llorente goal actually started his pitch invasion as the second half kicked off in the 45th minute... it was only 30 mins later at the 75 minute when he had covered the distance between London stadium front row and pitch that he made it to the goal area.

I thought had started his descent at the league game?

Only watching the game back now and noticed in the first 7 minutes of the second half Atwell let Antonio away with two clear pushes, one almost resulting in an equaliser. I genuinely can't give him the benefit of any doubt, its either incompetence or nefarious.

Of and the commentator was obviously crying into and wiping his nose on the West Ham shirt he was wearing.

Good win considering that was basically their first team.

Agreed - he pushed Foyth in the back and Attwell just let it go. We rode our luck at times and it wasn’t a comfortable watch, but we smashed them for the second time in two weeks which I didn’t expect.

The West Ham fan at work was so confident as well - especially due to us having two games in three days.

Mug!

If we don't we'll end up losing him:

Great to see the article has quotes we can rely on...NOT!

Also, last night really did show our strength in depth.

Lloris, Vorm, Trippier, Aldeweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Lamela, Moura, Kane ... A lot of established players missing!

Eh? Popular opinion keeps informing me that our squad has no depth, so surely you've made some mistake...

Popular opinion is we lack quality depth at fullback, CM and backup striker.

I think it's fair to say we have a strong squad when only a couple of players are injured. Once the injuries stack up the depth is not quiete there. You need to assume you're going to have injuries really so ask yourself if you have 5/6 injuries how strong are you. In our case we would have a strong first team but not such a strong bench. This is the difference between champions and contenders.

I dont think a single team in the prem comes out well with 6 injuries, even City.

Why are we refusing to agree to Arsenal's League Cup ticket pricing for the QF ( £10 kids, £20 adults)
