and they didn't take advantage of ours ?Well the point is we didn't take advantage of their poor performance.

Not really, no. It was a score draw with limited chances for both teams with a lack of quality and a lot of stoppages. Neither team is likely to be happy with that result or performance imo.and they didn't take advantage of ours ?
I know our performances arent where we want them to be, but im confident we wont be losing 3-03 - 0 Saturday and the whole thing changes...
all the bookies had it as low scoring drawNot really, no. It was a score draw with limited chances for both teams with a lack of quality and a lot of stoppages. Neither team is likely to be happy with that result or performance imo.
Not really, we were evens which makes us favourites...all the bookies had it as low scoring draw
Sorry this is utter rubbishSpurs are playing like a Christian Gross team,
the football is awful ,
turning into long ball merchants, just boot it upfield or out of play,
that's how West Ham scored,
most teams we plaSorry this is utter rubbish
We were trying to draw them in and play out, hardly long ball. The long ball comes when there are no options and the player in possession feels under pressure
The midfield were the problem in that second half, well along with the fact Davies and Sanchez are miles behind Lenglet and Romero with the ball at their feet
Bentancur is playing I really think we win that game and stay in control
are you kidding me ?Sorry this is utter rubbish

agreed, except when you got a corner taker who constantly fails to beat the first defender, terrible passing and no clue going forward its just poor imo.I enjoy us winning whether we play like shite or play like prime Barcelona. I can accept we're a work in progress and things don't happen over night. I'm patient. I'm prepared to ride it out that we may not click for another few weeks yet, but as long as there's a plan and Conte is trying to implement it, I'm absolutely fine with that.
Nuno and Jose, and even Poch towards the end of his tenure, had no plan, or rather there was no progress with the way they were coaching or managing.
I really don't mind whether we have 75% of the ball or 25% of the ball, there's more than one way to win a football match.
Check back my other post in this thread. Last night was painful, we didn't play well and it was hard to watch but I still believed we could win it even playing as poorly as we were. We looked shaky in defence for probably the first time since Chelsea away and it was nervy. But it was a Derby, away from home, against a team that is notorious for giving absolutely everything against us and then falling off a cliff afterwards.
I don't think there would be even a quarter of the whinging and whining if Arsenal weren't top after FIVE games. But because its them people are panicking and conflating our issues. Let's not forget Arteta has had about 2 more years with his team vs Conte.
Pay no attention to the league table until 10 games in. Everton were top this time 2 seasons ago and finished middle of the bottom half.
A note, Contes Chelsea team that won 13 games on the spin didn't get motoring until GW7/8, and their early wins came very late in games, they scored a handful of goals after the 80th minute in those. Relax. He's got this.
We have played away to the teams who finished 3rd and 7th last season (and got two draws) and then beaten everyone else. Not sure what else you expect or demand.Yes, we're still third in the table and yes, we're still unbeaten but apart from the evil blue stink, who have we played...?

I’m in agreement with you. I was raging yesterday in the first half at the inability of virtually everyone to play one touch football- receive it, quickly pass it to a man in space and move forward for a possible return call. Instead we had slow pedestrian 3 or 4 touch football. By the time someone got the ball under control there was no one in space in front to pass to so it was pass backwards or sideways and get nowhere. It was as bad as I’ve ever seen us play - like watching us in the ‘90’s.The most infuriating thing (which is still doing my head in) is that for the first time this season, a team has given us all the time and space with the ball we needed, and we didn't know WTF to do with it! We could and should have absolutely slaughtered them if only we'd played with more urgency, passion and belief. I've even started to wonder lately WTF Conte is doing with the guys on the training pitch because they've looked clueless for the most part of the season.

Then the second half began and WH woke up and we went to piece’s especially at the back.
My biggest disappointment was with Conte. I was shocked he didn’t make any changes. He couldn’t have been happy at what he was seeing?
I was in the away end, the stadium is dog shit, the view is dog shit, the way its set up cuts the away sides fans in two making it hard to generate any atmosphere which is dog shit, West Ham and West Ham fans are dog shit but my point is if you remove the £30 cap they would only increase the price and I cant see how that would help with whatever you think needs helping.Heard the away end was dog shit. Case to be made about the game but all I hear is the away ends are getting worse and worse. Take of the £30 cap imo.
