What went wrong yesterday?

[9898]

Let me start:

Soucek - Has nothing. Only signed because he is 6'4 and brings dead ball presence. Very poor player.
Diop - Nothing new from me. Poor player who lack basic centre halve requirements - cannot read the game, get's bullied and always in the wrong position- and Murray went out with the game plan to bully him and it worked. Wortha goal to opposition every week.
Creswsell and Fredericks - Cresswell had regressed worse than any player in living memory and Federicks cannot play football when in possession.
Noble - The worst midfielder in the Pl by a mile. Out of possession he is non-existent. No matter what he does with the ball (not a lot creatively) his lack of legs and mobility mean we play with 10 men with other teams have the ball. p.s also becoming sick oh his need to show everyone that he is 'Mr West Ham' by going over to the keeper when he makes a save and ', players when they come on and giving them the 'seal of Mark Noble' etc with a tap around the head, a pat on the back.
Haller - I called it after 1 game. Slow. big man who offers no presence and is one of the least committed players seen in a West Ham shirt.
Fabianski - Rushed back from injury and looked vulnerable on crosses, clearly not ready for first team.

Moyes - Where do you start?
The tactic for Antonio at the beginning of game was for him to play closer to Haller. In the first 10 minutes Cresswell got outnumbered 2 or 3 times because in our midfield three, Noble was designated to play to the left of it, but did not have the legs top get over and help Cresswell. Moyes then changed Antonios position to play wide left, away from the middle, because Noble can't run, which any person with half a brain knows. Change the whole team shape after 10 minutes cancelling a weeks preparation. Christ.
Failed to see that there small attacking player (no idea who) had the freedom of the space between the defence and midfield in the second half causing us all sorts of problems.
When trying to close out the game he bought on Massuaku - the most ill disciplined, brainless, gutless footballer - in the hope he would play a controlled, solid game. Laughable, as shown in the passes he 'attempted' on the edge of our area for their second goal.

Moyes was as good as we were ever going to get. But he got it wrong yesterday. Although in his defence the fact that the pillow-biters had had a much longer rest than us played a significant part. And you can't account for brain-numbing fuck-ups that allowed them back into the game at 2-0 and 3-1.

When we go down, it won't be his fault. It will be Mr Dead's and the ineptitude of the three stooges that didn't see through the old fraud and act sooner.

Difficult to argue against a lot of that and from the responses, or lack of I should say, seems a lot finally agree.

Moyes, Should of made subs earlier.

One Word..Masuaku

The reason we played better in the first half, was simple. Soucek was playing his natural game. He was playing further forward. He was running beyond Haller
He was constantly in the penalty area. This is why he scores so many goals. It had the effect of providing more options for the other players. He gave the Brighton defenders & midfielders more to do & worry about. It also brought our supporting players further up the pitch. As a result we were on the front foot and we were making things happen in and around the penalty box. It was working a treat.
But you can tell he must of been told NOT to venture forward so much, by the negative Moyes.
In the second half he barely ventured over the half way line. As a result our momentum and initiative was lost. No one was constantly braking behind Haller anymore & they became more & more into the game, until we were hanging on for the draw.
Moyes bought Soucek for his goals, and the first thing he does, is stop his attacking play and tries to turn him into a negative holding player.
