West Ham on Saturday

[Modo]

Brendan needs to have a talk with Johnson.
Allen marshalling the midfield.
Sterling started slow but ended the half as one of our best players
Suarez wasting chances but is the reason we're in the lead.
Coutinho is just magic.

Three players need to step up or be subbed, Johnson, Flanagan and Henderson. They're either not offering us anything or causing us problems.

 

[James]

Remember week 15, minute 42. Liverpool score, Southampton equalise, Stoke equalise. Could be huge in the eventual run in and how bizarre that all three goals were scored at the exact same time.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

So far so good. Generally a pretty decent performance. We found last year's Sterling!

His end product is still woeful bar the odd exception, hopefully this is a jinx.

I was wrong. I thought we needed to send him on loan to get him playing again, he just needed a couple of games, & possibly the benefit of playing in a side scoring for fun under little pressure like on Wednesday.

He's doing loads of running for Suarez today, he's invariably the furthest up the pitch & is dragging a couple of men away from him, yet when he's getting the ball he's doing really well.

John Barnes in the Studio for Setanta Ireland, good stuff.

 

[keniget]

Who would you bring in for Stevie though? Lucas?!

We have options. We can bring Lucas on in anticipation of the inevitable West Ham fight back.

Or we can be more positive and bring on Alberto or move Henderson inside and try someone like Aspas further up.

Be interesting to see how the 2nd half starts out.

We should really be a couple up by now, which would make these decisions a bit easier.

 

[Rosco]

he looks electric.

If he gets a bit better with his finishing he could be lethal

 

[Nir.Barak]

I love the fact that all our other players have upped their game allowing us to threaten West Ham even when Suarez isn't involved in the play.

 

[cloggypop]

I want a headtorch

 

[MaBigTip]

Fucking hell - Henderson at left wing forward is making my eyes bleed.

get Ibe on to run at 'em.

He's not on the bench. But I am desperate to see him in the team! Instead of Henderson today. Allen has been superb so far.

 

[Fabio]

I want a headtorch

Me too

The way you can focus the beam...

 

[tombrown]

I want a headtorch

Haha - exactly what I was thinking

 

[tombrown]

Dear Santa ...

 

[FoxForceFive]

I want a headtorch

Hahahaha!

Not just any headtorch, a LED LENSER headtorch, for just €49.99!

 

[Gary25]

Sterling's missed a few good chances but him and Allen were very good in the 1st half.

Come on Redmen, finish them off!!

 

[FoxForceFive]

John Barnes talks far too much sense to not be on mainstream sports channels. It's madness.

Or racism. Or both.

 

[Y1]

Uncomfortable in some counter attack and set pieces from West Ham whose game plan was to defend and to shackle Suarez. Now we have a goal, albeit a lucky one, let's see how the game will change. Hopefully we get another goal.

Well he doesn't say controversial stuff for the sake of it, hence why they don't find him interesting.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Great play from Sterling to keep possesion under pressure like that, poor cross from Johnson gives it away.

 

[Mystic]

Downing is running riot down his flank. We need to do something about that.

Gerrard is having a mare and needs subbing.

Other than that, not a bad half.

Big Sam has sorted it out for us it seems.

So why arent you on tv? 🙂

 

[FoxForceFive]

GET IN!

 

[FoxForceFive]

SKITTLES!
2-0!

 

[Cerberus]

Another OG? Hahahahaha!

 

[kingjulian]

Bahahaha

 

[Mystic]

Nice one Sakho 🙂

 

[cloggypop]

Goals today not quite as pretty as the last game but goals are goals

 

[ClassicGirl14]

Watching a halftime segment on players who've gotten better with age , and my GOD does Man United have an ugly team.

Literally, they may have the ugliest team in the League.

 

[Modo]

OG I think

 

[gene hughes]

I'd give that to Sakho
