Matchday 1

[DBAH0]

Very impressed with how West Ham played today. Hopefully it can set up a great season.

Super impressed by Payet, looks like an absolute star, I fear that he won't be here for long though if he keeps playing like that. Oxford looked like a natural as well.

Raymond Domench (know I've spelt that wrong) reckons he should be playing for Arsenal or Chelsea.

He was class today though, certainly doesn't look like Remy Cabelli thankfully (sorry NUFC Tiger).

Arsenal have owned us over the past few seasons so this result is extra special.

And it puts the likes of Martin Keown back in their place for saying Fat Sam would come back mid season on a rescue mission after the Europa League result.

So nice to watch a West Ham game where we actually passed the ball on the ground, went forward in numbers on the counter and actually tried to play.

payet could easily play top 4 if all the teams werent stocked with similar players already. only questions have been over his attitude and consistency, but if he delivers for west ham he will be an absolute diamond

Looked good in bits I watched.

Defence was woeful. Cedric was on the edge of getting a red, and they gave away numerous needless corners.

20 odd assists last season speaks for itself doesn't it!

Yep fair enough, probably needs to be playing under a real good man manager which Bilic is known to be (and probably why Zarate is getting another chance because he was gone under Allardyce).

As much as I'd like to sit here and say how boring this is, I'd have loved our game to have been a bit more dull and boring.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Sensational save.

I feel nil nil

 

[Rough_Edges]

Time for Ibe to hit the showers.


On; Ings, Firmino
Off; Ibe, Benteke

 

[Rough_Edges]

Not sure who's been worse

Liverpool United Spurs or Arsenal.

 

[ADL9798]

Having Can anchoring a midfield 3 allows Henderson & Milner to play their natural games, breaking forward to provide the extra number in attack. We've looked better going forward since his introduction.

 

[SM]

Geeze Coutinho has been woeful in his decision making.

Haha was literally just writing to say that I agree with you, it's too early in the season to be over complicating things and he's going for the difficult pass too often.. Jesus Christ. Never mind!
