[FAC] West Ham (A): Post Match Thread

[Fredo]

Illori was outstanding. Read the game well and kept his composure. The whole defence played well tonight. Just unlucky.

[Buzzo]

I just don't think he's good enough

He got the service tonight and missed some great chances

To me he still doesn't get in the box enough

I don't think it's confidence just lack of ability

I know everyone hates him, but I think Michael Owen makes loads of decent points in matches. He's called Benteke perfectly.

He will score goals in a mid table team. I just hope the mid table team isn't us. He's not good enough for where we want to be.

A good forward and keeper this season and we could be challenging for the league with Leicester.

I like what I've seen from Ilori

[tanner]

There's also the Grimsby fan at work who when I complain about drawing with Stoke tells me how they got beat at the weekend by Barrow in front of a crowd of 300. And he was there.

I'm not quite in that place yet but it's a lesson in empathy.

What the **** does he know! 16 games those *******s have won this season, we've won 9. Sounds like heaven to me.

**** him!

[Chris]

Ilori was boss. Dunno who's fault the winner was but even if it was his he was still outstanding for 119 mins. He was actually organising Lucas as well, when to push up and that. Lucas was a god, ****ty free kick aside.

[kubrickscube]

Pleased with how we played, lot of the youngsters making some of our usual performers look like reserves

[tanner]

What did Klopp say? I couldn't be doing with watching 'em celebrate.

Can't see anything controversial there?

played well tonight and I thought he read the game pretty well. Think it helped having Lucas next to him

Referee's fault. It wasn't a free kick and there was possibly an arm in Stewart's shoulder for the header.

[danperkins]

Illori done ok, blatant peno & few loose passes but I think we played with so many players that have had **** all game time that it's hard to judge. They gave it their all and looked out on their feet and got done by a sucker goal. Been a hell of a season... i don't see us doing anything in the Europa as it's very strong but we could get the Carling Cup.

At the very least the kids showed guts and determination which is alot more than what the senior players have shown.

The refs fault cos it was a free to us for handball not a throw in to them that gave them their free.

[vlahka]

Their keeper stepped over his line when kicking the ball at one stage too. Useless benteke.

[Venton]

**** him!

To be fair he's been very quiet this season. I don't think he can take the success

[BigChief]

I was absolutely certain Tex was staying on and Ibe would be subbed for Origi. Terrible decision as they overran us in midfield straight after that. Poor old Stewart and Chivvy had to put in a double shift because Ibe was the third midfielder but (sad to say this) it was too much for his little brain to handle.

I reckon we'd have definitely won the game had Tex stayed on. One too many good ball players on the pitch for West Ham to handle.

[Lecter]

He's got the ability but he needs work on the pitch. He's technically good enough but does not find space on the pitch naturally. A full pre season of training with a proper forward coach and he'll be better, especially if he plays in a front two or three.

I don't think he's technically good enough either

There is so much wrong with his game most of which you can't coach into someone
