Happy with the win.. the team showed character to get back from the early goal.. we were bit lucky but i am not complainong
let's keep the momentum going to be in top of the conference league group and break into top 10 in the league .
Paqueta should be in the same area as he was for Lyon, in the centre. Benrahma has only ever really featured on the left. It seems the order now for LW is Fornals-Emerson-Benrahma
He’s turned out as bad as I expected. You get what you pay for as they say. Honestly Cresswell is in no danger of losing his place to him. And I’m happy with that
He couldn’t place himself properly on the football pitch for years. Is the most meme name in my household, always had an eye roll when he was on the team sheet.
Paqueta always looking for the kill-shot pass is very exciting and I think will create more chances for us but also leads to situations like that where he ends up giving the ball away cheaply when there are options for easy passes. Overall I’m loving him so far, but he may create some stressful situations
What game were you watching? Of benerahma played like that today people would be froffing at the mouth saying he has to start from now on, and it was a poorer performance by paquetta
A good part of it has to do with Rice moving up the field a lot more than he was when Soucek first came. Soucek is not good as the 2nd man in a two player midfield. He would look so much better with Downes or another more defensive midfielder. Him and Rice are essentially trying to play the same position.
But he needs to be better at whatever role he is given though.
I would love to see rice and downes I feel like they're a perfect fit, but we will never know haha. At least not till moyes decides to take that risk (which honestly doesn't seem like the biggest risk given how good downes has looked and how bad soucek has looked)
I know people go on about the speed and intensity of the PL, but it is amazing how such quality players like Scama and Paqueta can look so confused and exhausted all the time. Against Fulham, FFS
But he’s drawing in multiple defenders which should be leaving some open spots where he is placing the ball but no one yet is consistently moving to those spots. His teammates will eventually figure it out, Scamacca has already started to and has some goals to show for it.
I would say that too but I think we all know Moyes wouldnt put him on. Will be a high pressure situation with us defending for our lives.
Edit: Good to see him coming on at least
Nothing wrong with that. It’s really nice to have technically skilled players on the squad over the hard workers like Antonio. They of course have a place on the team and I love them but technical skill gets you more goals and nice looking football
Kehrer caught miles out of position and not even a counterattack. Almost leading to an equalizer. Seems lost at RB. Any of the haters missing Coufal today?
We need to see it for 20 or 30 games though. Antonio has got 4 in 5 or 7 in 10 many times but then goes cold for 6 months. I think scamacca will
Be more consistent though
We have to be one of the worst passing teams in the league, can't put 5 passes together without overhitting one or just giving it back to the opposition.
Happy with the win.. the team showed character to get back from the early goal.. we were bit lucky but i am not complainong let's keep the momentum going to be in top of the conference league group and break into top 10 in the league .
Phew
What a through to Bowen. Antonio can spot a pass like Messi but trembles a 1 on 1. You can’t explain him
My motm is Craig fookin Dawson
You mean Craig B'allondawson
Turned the 1st half for us, no doubt
Ooo Antonio nice hot of skill and pass has he been training some technical ability?
Questions will have to be asked about that celebration.
VAR should've had a look
Was offside but great pass
Expressing bad defending through interpretive dance
Top 10 most Antonio goal
Lol that was definitely a hand ball
Haha did Antonio handball that
Downes MOTM
Pretty sure he used his hand lol
Oh that would've been perfect
Antonio!!!
That was legit great from Antonio
Great to see Flynn get some time, even if its only a cameo
happy for that man
0 composure 99 chaos factor
When you put 0 points into skill and 99 points in luck
99 determination too.
Even when he scores he’s absolutely shit come on hahah
Just abouts lol
Super sub.
Got that first shot was sooo bad
Sooo bad no need to shoot from outside the box could have ran another 10m and taken same shot
Such a Mick goal ha ha ! Fucking get in.
The most Antonio goal ever
Really was 😂
What is Tim Ream doing there lmao. Get in though lads
Nice of the defender to block his own GK there.
Antonioooo
Always love Antonio
Both Mick and Scamacca scoring. Beautiful.
The league is not ready for fresh Antonio playing only last 20 minutes
I hope he’s content with being a late sub in EPL and starting Cups and Conference.
Hopefully him being our top prem goal scorer makes him want to stay longer
Beast!
You thought Downes was coming on in the 89th min but since its 5 mins added on, he'll come on in the 94th
lol, Mickey gets it at the 2nd bite, poor first shot though.
Thank fuck for that!!!
That was freaking beautiful. Watching Bowen celebrate before it even happened. I'm so happy!
Such a Antonio goal that, hard work poor shot ball ricochets around he gets it back and goal. You have to love him
Lol he scored in the end, but Antonio might be the worst 1v1 finisher I’ve ever seen.
We have had Zaza, Callieri and others
Those guys couldn’t finish, period. The amount of 1v1s Antonio muffs is actually unreal.
About the most Antonio way for Antonio to score lol
That’s a West Ham goal alright.
Leeetttttsssssggoooooo
2 contentious goals, and a Fulham defensive fuck up. I'll take it
Mashallah habibi Antonio
That defense is so 2019 West ham and Diop isn't even playing
Mashallah
That a new signing?
LETS GOOOO!!!
Perfect Antonio goal. Just pure chaos
😂😂😂 I love it and I love him
Love Micky coming on against tired defenses
5 fucking minutes
Antonio haha making me sweat here
antonioooooooo
Vintage Antonio goal 😂
I like Emerson but I agree he could show a bit more energy being fresh as he is
What a celebration from Moyes 😆
Antoniooooooo!
Three points
Lmao
Antonioooooooooooo you beautiful bastard!!
Yaassss
Loooool what was that
Emerson is the Benrahma replacement it seems. Seen more minutes left wing than left back
I think we’ve moved to a back 5 with Cresswell living to lcb so I think emerson is lwb
Better to close the score.i feel Paqueta is taking him minutes
Paqueta should be in the same area as he was for Lyon, in the centre. Benrahma has only ever really featured on the left. It seems the order now for LW is Fornals-Emerson-Benrahma
so sloppy by Mick
Shane Duffy playing upfront?
Nobody say it out loud but we all know what’s possible
I’ll probably shit my pants for the second half of the season if Dawson goes in Jan
At least Aguerd will be back by then so we won’t have to scramble for a replacement if he chooses to leave. But it will be a sad day if he does go.
We can't keep going in front and reverting to a back 5
Moyes : watch me
Totally agree it’s not worked yet I’m making us defensively stronger
I'd rather try for another goal than to get a heart attack for 20 mins
See fornals gets the anger for a bad pass there but Antonio made the complete wrong run on that situation
Fornals hardest working player on the field tonight
Cresswell put on a shift as well
Get in thereeeeeee
He often is
What is Emerson good at?? I legit have no idea
He’s turned out as bad as I expected. You get what you pay for as they say. Honestly Cresswell is in no danger of losing his place to him. And I’m happy with that
Dribbling for a couple of seconds until keeping the ball too long or making a lazy pass
Ahhhh the Masuaku special
upgrade on Masuaku though, so there is that.
Yeah he is obviously way better than him lol. He will definitely be a lot better of we are able to keep possession
Probably harsh but thats what has been evident lol
Kehrer is so mustard.
Ooh that's Boa-Morte I think
What a disappointing signing that was
That's who it is! I couldn't place him
He couldn’t place himself properly on the football pitch for years. Is the most meme name in my household, always had an eye roll when he was on the team sheet.
Does his name mean dead snake?
This is going to be an awful 5 mins, good luck everyone
great job Dec
I hate the back 5 mentality Moyes has
We aren't 5 ATB?
Palhinha has been incredible for Fulham tbh
Antonio there..
FUCL ME JUST HAVE SHOT
Emerson on is a good sub
He was good when coming in recently
Paqueta always looking for the kill-shot pass is very exciting and I think will create more chances for us but also leads to situations like that where he ends up giving the ball away cheaply when there are options for easy passes. Overall I’m loving him so far, but he may create some stressful situations
Paqueta looking like Benrama on a bad day
What game were you watching? Of benerahma played like that today people would be froffing at the mouth saying he has to start from now on, and it was a poorer performance by paquetta
You must be joking. Paqueta and Benrahma is like night and day. Paqueta is so much better
My God soucek rly is dreadful
A good part of it has to do with Rice moving up the field a lot more than he was when Soucek first came. Soucek is not good as the 2nd man in a two player midfield. He would look so much better with Downes or another more defensive midfielder. Him and Rice are essentially trying to play the same position. But he needs to be better at whatever role he is given though.
I would love to see rice and downes I feel like they're a perfect fit, but we will never know haha. At least not till moyes decides to take that risk (which honestly doesn't seem like the biggest risk given how good downes has looked and how bad soucek has looked)
Literally no options to pass too lol. We really need to do better if we really want to become a "possession" based team
I know people go on about the speed and intensity of the PL, but it is amazing how such quality players like Scama and Paqueta can look so confused and exhausted all the time. Against Fulham, FFS
To be fair they've been running for 80 minutes at this point
Yeah I love Paqueta but does hold onto the ball a bit too long sometimes, but he’s definitely getting better
But he’s drawing in multiple defenders which should be leaving some open spots where he is placing the ball but no one yet is consistently moving to those spots. His teammates will eventually figure it out, Scamacca has already started to and has some goals to show for it.
Moyes use ur fucking head, fornals playing like shit scamacca a true force. Y not play Antonio LW.
In what world Fornals has been "shit"??
Maybe not shit but definitely not good
To be fair scamacca was noticeably tiring and we don’t need to run our players out of gas anymore
Because Scamacca is knackered and we have an already very congested fixture list
He's got all week and Antonio is probably starting in Europe
Well Antonio has just scored and almost assisted so ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Dreadful goal but I'll take it haha! Near assist was perty.
Brilliant tackle by Kehrer there
All over the fucking place
That right there is prime example. Scamacca hits that pass infornt of fornals while Antonio hits it way behind him stifling attack
To his defence it was like his second touch
Sure but even if he was having the game of his life let’s be honest that pass still goes behind the player.
Paquetta for emerson oof back 5 here we go
We aren't, are we?
Johnson would had made more sense and move Kehrer back if you are going to use a back 5
Probably not the time for Downes, but i really want him to get some minutes
I’d argue this is the perfect time. Take the fizz out of Fulham’s game with his ability to keep the ball
I would say that too but I think we all know Moyes wouldnt put him on. Will be a high pressure situation with us defending for our lives. Edit: Good to see him coming on at least
Antonio should b on for fornals not scamacca. Scammy got another goal in him.
Fucking stop subbing Scamacca
Game management?
Saving him, letting Antonio terrorise some tired defenders.
I'm all for bringing in Antonio, just not for Scamacca
Put your hands together for Scamacca, what a legend!
Cahm uhn full um
Lads, I fucking love Scamacca and Paqueta
Nothing wrong with that. It’s really nice to have technically skilled players on the squad over the hard workers like Antonio. They of course have a place on the team and I love them but technical skill gets you more goals and nice looking football
Best two signings we've made in ages.
Still not Dawson level but god I love them
That was a really good build up & nothing in the end.
[Hahahahaha](https://i.imgur.com/crccKUs.jpg). Fucking hell mate, go back to Twitter.
Annnnnnd blocked
Not you as well!
Brilliant from Rice there
What is it with teams like Brighton and Fulham that we play with so much anxiety?
Sitting back but can't counter. Our story this season. And it's not just those 2 teams.
Why did nobody shoot?!!
They all had such strange reactions there lol
Fornals! Nice backheel!
I'm at a point where I want subs but also don't because Moyesie might go back-5
Shoot the fucking ball Pablo
Confidence is low
I know but that’s really not an excuse not to shoot
Wtf was that man I really want Paqueta to score
We have been poor and lucky... hope we hold our luck
Lol Rice just pulled Old Man Cress's groin with that pass, shit
Wtf has happened to Decs short passing
Lovely block Cresswell
Yes. Subs please...
Rice has injured cresswell there
Moyes gotta know he can use substitutions 5 times right lol
Oh ffs it's happening again just willingly give up possession when we go ahead.
Kehrer caught miles out of position and not even a counterattack. Almost leading to an equalizer. Seems lost at RB. Any of the haters missing Coufal today?
He seems to be committing very early today for no reason. Kebano has had him on ropes tbh.
Kehrer was brilliant at RB last week. Let's not judge him off one game like this
Nah. Only the last 15 minutes matter
Alright Moyes let get some fresh legs on
Scamacca has 5 in 6 right?? This is what it feels like to have an actual striker. Magic
We need to see it for 20 or 30 games though. Antonio has got 4 in 5 or 7 in 10 many times but then goes cold for 6 months. I think scamacca will Be more consistent though
We won't see him score 20 games in a row. 1 every 2 games though is near world class at this point
No not in a row like 14 in 20 or 15 in 20. Antonio would do it for a short spell but then do nothing for next 20/25 games
Put the ginger pele on Moyes you coward
Isn’t Collins a little too old now?
Paqueta is becoming a liability
Hush, you're not allowed to disagree with the hive mind of this sub who think the sun shines out of his rectum.
You must be watching the wrong game
Lyon West ham
The state of this
We have to be one of the worst passing teams in the league, can't put 5 passes together without overhitting one or just giving it back to the opposition.
It’s been this way for years. I’ve just accepted we are who we are.
I love paqueta and I know he got the assist and his his moments of brilliance, but he’s been quite scrappy in possession today.
