West Ham v Stoke - Official Match Thread

[Taansend]

Bloody hell, we're a completely different team today.

Jenkinson getting battered by Moses. Commentators saying out shape is wrong. Sam needs to adjust it.

I knew we would struggle against these f uckers. I hate Stoke and I hate Mark Hughes

Today's game so far is a glance back into the past. No need to go back there imo.

Second half changes please Sam?

[happyhammer4eva]

Downing's not happy playing on the wing. He's hardly seen the ball. Frustrating.

[Taansend]

Definitely need to bring on a striker.

"Offside, West Ham United. Adrian tries a through ball, but Stewart Downing is caught offside." Nuff said really.

Put Downing back in the f.ucking middle ffs.

Dreadful performance so far, look a totally different side to the one of recent weeks. Victor Moses taking the piss, if we don't improve second half it might get messy. On the plus side don't think west ham can play any worse.

Shocking first half from us. Our players look completly uninterested apart from Adrian and Collins.

Stoke are first to every ball and stronger in every tackle. We are making them look like they have 2 extra players on the pitch.

Have to say (imho) it is surely game over as Since being promoted back to the prem we do not come from behind to win games. Only did it twice and both times at home. I have very little faith in Allardyce being able to figure out a way of turning things around.

Best we can hope for is a draw, but looking more likely to be a 2 or 3 goal Stoke win.

Hi hate the Taansend formation

Hopefully we are just lulling them into a false sense of security. Zarate for Amalfitano for me.
