West Ham United v Wolves comms thread.

[DDPPwolf313]

Was that Coufal one checked on VAR?

Yup. All clear

Predictably

 

[wolfslair]

I think a lot of people are saying we are in a better position than we thought we would. We are not as good as we think we are when we get a win and we aren't as bad as we say we are when things don't go right.
The instant vitriol and I told you so when things don't go right is the sign of the times.

Very fair points mate

 

[5 - Lescott]

Hwang has been terrible again.

When the goals aren’t there, I struggle to see what he brings at all. Granted hes bagged well this season thus far but if you take in his whole time here hes basically done very little (hes not alone in that btw)

 

[Bill McCai]

We havent really played well since Spurs at home, the last five games have been a tough watch.

 

[MikeH68]

Coufal should have been sent off, looking that challenge again.

Should have been a sending off, forearm smash to the face. I know we are poor, but still it’s a sending off.

Spot on.

Bellegarde needs subbing for ait nouri and 3 at the back for 2nd half.

Insanity if toti is left on as he'll get sent off

 

[yateleywolf]

West Ham 2-0 Wolves​

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:
"It's been a first half performance from Wolves to make you look at the Premier League table to see how far they are away from the drop zone. Thankfully for them the gap is 10 points. Looked like a relegation threatened side on that showing."

Says it all

Much better at home thankfully

 

[A3wolf]

Was that Coufal one checked on VAR?

Yes it was - both Sky pundits

Yup. All clear

Predictably

Both Keane and Sturridge in Sky Studio stating Coufal very lucky

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Interesting that all those in the Sky studio thought West Ham lucky to still have 11 players after the tackle on Bellegarde

 

[MikeH68]

Was that Coufal one checked on VAR?

Yes - lol!

 

[waltononthehillwolf]

Was that Coufal one checked on VAR?

Apparently it was checked and VAR didnt see anything wrong with the clear elbow to the chin... ****ERS

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

****ing passing has been abysmal

Our passing has been almost as horrific as our defending

Very poor, if it's not putting players under pressure when passing to them when tightly marked, we pass directly to an opponent.

 

[Clipboard]

When the goals aren’t there, I struggle to see what he brings at all. Granted hes bagged well this season thus far but if you take in his whole time here hes basically done very little (hes not alone in that btw)

And as someone said above, he can be lethal at both ends of the pitch unfortunately...

 

[WickedWolfie]

Good old four at the back lol

Where are all of those - bod, Stafford et al, who were desperate for it? Of course if they are at the game l wouldn't expect them to post.

 

[Super NES]

Was that Coufal one checked on VAR?

Yep - i dont know the VAR doesn't realise its an intentional elbow. If you have played the game to any standard you know he knew exactly what he was doing. Similair to the elbow done by Cash on Hwang (I think) when we played villa at home.

 

[oldgold4ever]

Just looking a the goals again at HT. Why are we so pathetically open again today? It like Brighton all over again. First goal was bad enough, thanks to cowardliness by Bellegarde and Semedo being poor one-on-one. However, for the second goal, the chickens came home to roost well and truly with the decision to play Toti at leftback. GON set us up all wrong for a physical battle away from home.

 

[bod101]

I think a lot of people are saying we are in a better position than we thought we would. We are not as good as we think we are when we get a win and we aren't as bad as we say we are when things don't go right.

We are better than this, the players are better than this but you have to let some of them express themselves, they aren't all going to work as robots.

 

[Aimless Balls]

We need an attacking system when we go against CRAP teams who don’t want the ball, not the decent ones. We should’ve just done our thing and made Moyes come out of his shell to get the 3 points at home.

 

[Erick1011]

Interesting that all those in the Sky studio thought West Ham lucky to still have 11 players after the tackle on Bellegarde

It’s not due to the tackle. It’s due to having earlier brought a player down for a clear foul and the ref played advantage but never went back to book him.

I think that’s what GON got the booking for.

 

[Incognito]

What's not working? Bellegarde, Sarabia and the uncertainty about the formation we are playing. So swap those two players for RAN and Doyle. Play a back 5 in the spirit of damage limitation. Put Doyle in just behind a front two of Cunha and Hwang.

 

[astraltrader]

A really poor first half from Wolves.
Gomes amd Cunha our only two players of note.
Sarabia and Bellegarde were virtually passengers.
Hope for a better second...

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Insanity if toti is left on as he'll get sent off

He was grabbing at a player in the attacking zone, when also on a yellow.

 

[Muscat]

When the goals aren’t there, I struggle to see what he brings at all. Granted hes bagged well this season thus far but if you take in his whole time here hes basically done very little (hes not alone in that btw)

That's why GON never takes him off. His all round play has always been very poor.

 

[bod101]

He was grabbing at a player in the attacking zone, when also on a yellow.

Exactly that, straight after his yellow as well

 

[Mr Sizzle]

No changes.. makes sense.. working pretty well…

 

[BillyBoots]

No changes

 

[Slothmonkey]

No changes haha

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Coufal should have been sent off, looking at that challenge again.

Personally I think it's a little vs large sort of thing that looks worse than it is. His arm would hit the body usually and he doesn't really bend it.

 

[Bryce]

No changes
Jesus

 

[AndyY]

How the hell can there not be changes at half time after that first half performance?

 

[bod101]

We should be lining up as 433 with the players picked but we seem to be playing some weird hybrid of the 5 at the back

 

[waltononthehillwolf]

Toti still on - amazing

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

That free kick against Dawson is terrible

 

[wolfslair]

Same formation…. No subs…..

Well done gary….. it was **** and didn’t work in the first half so let’s stick with it…….

Bloody amateur again by GON….. it needs changes and toti is a red card waiting to happen

 

[Wolf316]

You just know the first sub will be Doc coming on.

 

[Bryce]

So if you keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome it’s ok !

 

[The Clock]

No changes
Jesus

Jesus is next week

 

[Matt]

No changes and two set pieces conceded already, what a shock! GON is a clown sorry, should be nowhere near a PL dugout.

 

[DDPPwolf313]

That free kick against Dawson is terrible

Unreal
