V Man City (You know them. They bought a team!) Home leg.

7-0 to the Hammers!

 

West Ham starting XI: Jaaskelainen, Nolan, Tomkins, Rat, Carroll, Taylor, Morrison, Diarra, Diame, J.Cole, Johnson
No Noble!
Could we achieve respectability tonight?

 

If we can score once every 12 minutes we should be OK

 

I think the tactic is, if we ignore their strikers they'll go away. That might not, in fact, work

 

Aguero 2-0. This could be a setback. Shouldn't have counted tho, Rat fouled Taylor in the box.

 

Accidentally tripped as the latter was chasing Aguero. We're less than impressive I'm afraid

 

Diarra give away free kick just outside the area

 

Jaaskelainen, FINE
Nolan, OK WHEN VISIBLE, DISALLOWED GOAL
Tomkins, OFTEN OUT OF POSITION OR BALL WATCHING
Rat, TERRIBLE
Carroll, ISOLATED
Taylor, TRIES HARD BUT NOT A DEFENDER
Morrison, WOEFUL
Diarra, anonymous
Diame, SOES WELL UNTIL HE GIVES IT AWAY
J.Cole, SOME NICE TOUCHES BUT CANT KEEP UP
Johnson PLAYS LIKE A THIRD DIVISION SECOND STRINGER

 

Couldn't agree more. We are making them look good tho'

 

Cole for Carroll

 

Should have been a penalty for Morrison

 

I agree, by Lescott

 

Negredo bullies his way through the entire defence to make it 9-0

 

Now the woeful Rat gives away a free kick just outside the area

 

True. We just weren't in the same league and were terribly one-dimensional.

 

14,400 bystanders watched the team play tonight. Fans are voting with their wallets. This should make G & S take notice that supporters are getting fed up with this horse excrement.
