It was horrible – worse than anyone could ever have expected and memories of the 10 points from four games – have all been forgotten after another home humiliation.
Manchester City were totally different class against the Irons last night and here’s how Hammers fans have been responding to the 5-0 drubbing on Claretandhugh’s Facebook forum @https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/
O It was men against boys last night they are in a different league to us, as are most of the top sixO I’ve had this several times especially last night. Blame on the players and WHO would you replace the manager with. We ‘won’t’ go down. The fact is it is the manager who trains, selects and send his team out.
O Cresswell sums it up for me. We know his quality, and he’s been excellent since his arrival, but last night, from the first minute, he was awful! Why. Not ability for sure, so it must be attitude.
O I wanted Billic from day one and I love he’s passion but it’s not rubbing onto the players , in our big new shiney stadium. We are now a laughing stock for other fans and I think we need some sort of change as something is definitely not working
O Man City are a top side and were excellent last night. For 25 minutes we looked OK then they got a dodgy penalty. That does not excuse the way we fell apart afterwards – and it’s been happening all season.
O The easy option is to blame words, comments on Twitter or Facebook, most of us have seen this decline coming for some time, and it all starts at The Top, false promises, bad choices and decisions, and their open mouth policy.
O At the risk of repeating myself, a team is a reflection of its manager – Bilic has had a VERY long honeymoon compared to many. Allardyce put out a youth team against City and they weren’t much worse than our lot last night.
O It was always going to be a huge ask-but what really grates on me, is when they hand their heads and stop trying!
The bonus of a Friday night match.The fan managers will be out in force across the forums spreading their Mourinho like advice.Oh what deep joy…
It could be a good day to go on an all day drinking session i think Big Tone.Funny enough myself & some friends were having a deep & meaningful about blog sites on the coach up to Leicester.The conclusion drawn was that most fans dont touch them with a barge pole because they know all they will read is moaners,FIFA managers & fans who have found their own spotlight to shine under.
Fortunately the fans that use them are just a miniscual percentage of our support
Lets see how many times today we can read the same cant STFU fans mention #embaressing #cringeworthy # circus..
It could be a nappy changing marathon today i reckon 😁😁
The irony in fans who tell the owners to shut up all the time but are the fans who never shut up themselves is the awesome one.Soo funny.
We are crap .,end of . Against teams with the money they have to buy titles it’s no surprise .
All we can do now is survive this season as a Premiership side . It’s the most important thing we have to fight for . But it’s a constant battle that Hammers fans have had for the last 50 yrs . We are accustomed to failure ; how sad is that .??!
Fans come onto this forum with Thier views and opinions and rightly so , but there are some that don’t understand our history and the Glories we have missed out on .
Another loss by a huge massive margin is depressing enough but , to play like virgins that don’t understand the rudimentaries of forplay is sheer ignorance of the game .
Basiktas want Bilic ; I say let him go there .
To say things like Guardiola only knows big clubs is like saying Aston Martin only know Great Cars . If you want to be successful you need people who know the road .
West Ham have consistently failed for years and what seems forever .
The move to the LS for the moment is / was a huge mistake ; West Ham were never ready for such a Grand Upheaval . The Stadium is in my opinion the principle reason for our demise . Bilic / Club as much as he / they try cannot compete with the change from little to BIG . We cannot become a big club by changing the stadium .
IF THE SEATING , doesn’t get closer to the action then WestvHam are finished , no atmosphere or pressure for either home or away teams .. **** in other words .
The idea that the Stadium is multifunctional should be dropped worthwith .
It is now for Football . BUILD THE SEATING UPTO THE TOUCHLINES AND FORGET ATHLETICS .
I am convinced that we would have given Man City or Utd a far better game at the Boleyn.
I am also more or less convinced that Bilic is not the man to get us through these difficult times . Even at Our old home there were very questionable decisions being made .
Some decisions even cost us a Championship Place if the truth were to be recognized .
Q: do I think Bilic should go ?
A: yes .
Solely because our new home in this massive empty Stadium is not suited to West Ham or the manager ,,, it’s too much for him and our misguided / unrealistic ambitions .
Should have stayed at Upton Park and pushed the Newham Coucil more for improvement.
Put it in the net. Je$us is it so hardly. Problem fixed. If you ain’t got those players, get em’. Don’t put it there, sack em’. Simple. Geez fellas’.
