Fans verdict: Sterile stadum… poor performance
West Ham revisited the bad old days against Stoke City, after recent performances and here the members at the ClaretandHugh Facebook forum deliver their verdict:
– Obiang did OK. He showed some desire at least. Antonio scored – deserve some credit.
– One poor all round game from us, not one player seems to have any confidence, the ground is like a library, no atmosphere at all, worry with upcoming games after break, we are one poor team!
– We gave away possession far too easily, Antonio’s the only one who has desire and hungry for goals.
– We’ve shot ourselves in the foot again by creating another step towards making the OS a sterile stadium and that’s nothing to do with the performance.
– After Adrian’s error he needs to be made an example of and lean he cannot make these mistake without paying the cost then, I hope the other players will start realising and start playing. Bilic needs to come down hard. This cannot continue.
– I like Bilic but some serious thought must be given to letting him carry on much longer, poor signings, poor tactics, poor performances, poor subs & poor/dreadful results ! Yes it would seem fairer to give him a bit longer but if we do we risk NO1 wanting the job ! We can’t go down it would set us back years !
A decent team would’ve ripped us apart today.
– Very disappointing. Ayew didn’t impress. I hope this is just a temporary glitch especially with the next few fixtures ahead! I fear a long and very hard season ahead.
– Home fans being moved around stadium like chess pieces. Stewards return and make themselves busy amongst home fans. All 50,000 being “searched” before entry to OSS. I witnessed a “70” year old grey haired lady being patted down.
– Today was the first match that felt like a bit of a chore. Dead atmosphere despite the contrived attempts to generate one before kickoff. Standing in the cold to get into the tube. Nothing on the field to get excited about. And they’d sold out of Mars bars at half-time! At least it wasn’t raining…
