It was perhaps inevitable that a small majority of West Ham naysayers would come out of hiding after the 4-0 defeat predicting relegation, claiming Pellegrini wouldn’t stay and some even blaming the board.
Of course no-one likes to lose 4-0 on the opening day of the Premier League and start the season at the bottom of the Premier League but a loss at Anfield was inevitable and predicable. If we are nit picking, two of the goals were off-side so maybe a 2-0 defeat would have been easier to swallow.
Two weeks ago I wrote a blog saying Rome wasn’t build in a day nor will the new West Ham adding that Pellegrini and the new players will need time to adapt.
In that blog I said: “A loss would not be the end of the world at Anfield, Pellegrini wants to completely change the style of play at West Ham while integrating seven or perhaps more new players into the team and the reality is that could take time. It might be more of an evolution rather a revolution.”
“I for one hope West Ham supporters get behind the new manager whatever the results might be between August and December. Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day and nor will Pellegrini’s new look West Ham.”
It you were a real optimist which of course the longer you support West Ham you learn not to be,but one might say Arnie if 100% fit and firing might have buried his two half chances,and two offside goals from Liverpoo on another day it would have been 2-2,although we didn’t deserve it anyhow.COYI
I am not too bothered about the Liverpool loss we have only Won there once in 50 attempts
What is alarming is that we have not bought any quality midfielders, I would not have bought Wilshere he is too slow & Noble also too slow so I think we will need to buy again in January I only hope we are not in the relegation zone by then
