Fulham vs West Ham Official Match Thread

[Flairon]

With regard to David Moyes I am neither a lover nor a hater.

I am however appreciative of what he has achieved during his two spells at the club.

Having said that, I do not see how today's performance is even remotely excusable.

Let’s make no mistake here . It was coming .

With the exception of the odd 45minute period here and there we have been awful for weeks .
Not bad for a defensive pragmatic “team” eh ?
Our defence isn’t nowhere near good enough (all Moyes purchases?) , Soucek and/or JWP are NOT defensive midfielders .

Question: do we lose that 5-0 if Flynn Downes was playing the Alvarez role ?

In a word No, we dont.

I'm looking to Claret and Booze later

Well I suppose you have to listen to something so you can have an opinion.


Sorry Newmarket , but you have to admit that was teed up for me to bang into an empty net.

I have told yiu before ,I have my own opinions mate and always have..I haven't seen the game has I am at work,so cannot really make a proper assessment of the game untilI see it...Nick is entertaining,unlike you.

I'd avoid it Tel, if I were you.

It isn't excusable, however, we've seen a lot of teams out there lose games and lose them badly this season. It happens.

What is quite amusing is seeing all the moaning-faced types crawl out from under their rocks now we've lost. Didn't really see much of them when we beat Spuds, Arsenal or Chelsea

Well said mate. Sums it up for me.

But as for today...? That was a train wreck.

Surely you’re not suggesting the great Tim, that’s the other one not you btw, made a mistake letting Downes go.?

Well I’ve no idea whose idea it was tbh but I could be forgiven for thinking it may have been a contributory factor in Moyes getting his corner taker ?
Dont get me wrong , Flynn Downes is no world beater but he IS a dedicated defensive midfielder.
He didn’t get a sniff last season , partly due to Rice’s ever presence , partly (imo) not being a Moyes signing.

But when we let Rice go we also got rid of the only genuine back up to Rices’s replacement.

It suits Moyes as he gets to play his two most favourite favourites when Alvarez is missing .

If I was Thilo Kehrer I’d be banging on Moyes’ front door tonight . After all what’s the worst that can happen ? He can’t get a game under this tyrant anyway.
