Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

[mstill13]

Because set pieces aside, he isn't actually very good?

Just like West Ham?

The decision to go with Lopetegui was a bad call for them.

Think they needed an upcoming coach who could work with a 'project'.

Lopetegui isn't that kind of coach and hardly lasts long anywhere (only Sevilla was his stand out spell). Don't think he was that impressive at Wolves either (think they got smashed 6-0 by Brighton or someone like that).

Just strikes me as another carousel coach who needs to get it right from the off and his ideas quickly fade.

Will Still is a West Ham fan so I'm surprised they didn't go for him.

They keep making this same mistake that just because the coach has been at some big clubs he'll help them rise (Pellegrini)

We've definitely been guilty of the same in the past - when looking at a manager's "CV" you need to look at how they did in similar conditions at similar clubs with similar budgets. We hired Graham, AVB, Mourinho, Conte and chased Van Gaal because they'd won trophies with the biggest clubs and best squads in their respective leagues, then were confused as to why they didn't do the same here

To be honest I thought it was quite a clever appointment.

Going from Moyes to a really attacking manager could've been a horror show.

Lopetegui is almost that balance of the two. Its not depressing football but he focusses on being structured and organised.

In hindsight, they were better off doing what we did for Ange, ripping it up and starting again but as i said, its hindsight.

Watched them a few times this season and its similar to us with Mourinho and Kane and Son. Get the ball to Bowen or Kudus and hope for some individual brilliance.

It's really impressive how West Ham can play 5 defenders and 2 DMs and still Forest's only forward on the pitch is completely unmarked in the middle of the box.

Thought Lopetegui was an astute appointment. Kind of like a Moyes but with a bit more flair.

They are awful. I'd say only the promoted teams are worst than them this season.

Not a lot you have to change for it to fit in here at many times the last years.

I think West Ham are in real trouble this season, not saying they will get relegated but I wouldn't be surprised if they are in and around the bottom 5 come the end of this season.

I thought it was only going to be a single extra match so that's something I suppose.

And the ref thought it was only a yellow…

And the ref thought it was only a yellow…

People argued it was only a yellow after seeing it again several times. The ref at least has the defence of not seeing it properly first time around.

And booked Micky at the same time.

And booked Micky at the same time.

Rightly, though. Micky got up and reacted aggressively.

What's' wrong with that? He was offered a contract, dithered over accepting it and it was subsequently withdrawn. How can he complain about that? A contract offer isn't fucking good for life!

31 shots in a 3-1 loss.

HA.

Keep blowing them bubbles, they'll soon turn to tears unless big Davey Moyes comes back to save them.

Agree, of course they can rescind the contract based on a turn of results and given Moyes choose to dither and not sign the one he was offered, that is as they say 'Business'.

Some crazy stats in that game...

Is it nearly that time again West Ham?
