Not sure how to post pictures over my phone…Luiz and Ings not in the squad - I guess they much be injured, unless they have caught Sansons "illness"
But 4-3-3 - Mings and Ings dropped from starting lineup. Bailey in.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Hause, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, Jacob Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins, Bailey.
Subs: Steer, Mings, Tuanzebe, Young, El Ghazi, Aaron Ramsey, Archer, Chukwuemeka, Davis.
Huge decision to drop the captain. Suggests to me that things aren't great behind the scenes. Much better shape to the team it has to be said.
Out injured/"ill" ...Traore, Ings, Luiz, Trez, Sanson
Post by: ChicagoLion on October 31, 2021, 03:37:56 PM
Ings isn't on the bench so guessing injured rather than dropped. I'd rather we stuck with Konsa and Mings together as they were generally excellent as a pair, just wobbly in a three. Still it's a proper formation, excited to see Bailey start. COYVB.Mings and Tuanzabee deserve to be dropped.
Post by: markeeeebeeee2005 on October 31, 2021, 03:38:45 PM
Not sure how I feel about Luiz and Mings dropping out. And would like to see either Watkins or Ings as a sub while the other plays for more options. Obviously some of this is down to injury, so no blame to Smith for that.
The players know their roles in this formation so it’s over to them. I was in two minds whether to watch it, but think I will.

Good question. Was supposed to be in contention for Arsenal 9 days ago.
Bench is pretty weak so he would've been good option as when he's on it he can create or score out of little.

Me too, I’d have played him and Konsa together today. I think Mings has really struggled with that crazy system and shot his confidence. Even Konsa has looked average lately.
Post by: KevinGage on October 31, 2021, 04:14:23 PM
No one should be undroppable, but the risk with that - if not handled sensitively - is you've got an England player unsettled and open to a move.
For all his iffy form recently, there would still be interest in him from top 8 clubs and it's a scenario I'd rather not face.
The irony is today, with the big units West Ham have in the side and their aptitude for set pieces, 3/5 at the back may have made sense. But we've probably seen enough of it recently to last three life times.
The front three looks promising. Hopefully it clicks. Not sure about that midfield.

The not buying a defensive midfielder is biting us on the arse again.
The annoying thing is it was so fucking obvious that we needed one.

Delighted with the goal but good grief the finish was a little fortunate. Lots of the net to shoot at and it was right at the keeper. Hey, will take anything right now.
I’ve seen this a few times with Ollie. His shots tend to go quite close to the keeper - I guess they’re harder to save than blasting for power? But a lot are deflected or the keeping gets a hand on then

Even low on confidence and yet in last 10 minutes we strung together a good move for the goal and also towards the end of the half.
Just don't think DS is capable anymore of getting that good form I'm afraid.
Massively disappointing to lose that goal so soon after getting back to 1-1, thought Emi should've saved it even if it was right in the corner.
Point at best. We're done for if it goes 1-3 given lack of bench options.

Hause has done ok to be fair...but we look really poor. Maybe unsurprising but our midfield three are a complete mess. Neither pressing West Ham nor protecting our defence to any degree. Cash our best so far and we did create a fine goal. But this is a cruise for West Ham.

Agreed, his foot is like a 50 pence piece on the ball..but far from our worst problem
Nakamba has the odd good appearance for us but in truth to play consistently at this level you have to be miles better on the ball than he is
Assist aside, Buendia has been dreadful. McGinn anonymous, Bailey offering zilch
I wonder is it worth trying something completely different like getting Archer or Davis or both on at half time and bypassing midfield

Even though everyone said he'd play 90% of his time at Norwich on the right? I mean he set the goal up from that position.
Don't really like players been given endless excuses, he cost 30m + after all.
Would prefer Bailey on the right though, not convinced he's as effective the other side. If we're down 2-1 with 15 left we'll probably put AEG on for Nakamba so Buendia would go 10 then.

In midfield West Ham have two excellent defensive midfielders.
We don't have any at the club, let alone on the pitch today - something plenty of people here were pointing out during the last transfer window.
For years it was us being a striker short, then Bruce left us a defender short, then we came up to the premier-league a striker short, and last year we were a striker short. Now we are a CDM short.
We don't do ourselves any favours.

We look like we can concede at any moment, midfield shape is an alien concept to us and there is little cutting edge up top. Apart from that, we're grand.
That said, I don't think West Ham are all that.
We can still get a draw at least out of this one.
Probably the best summary. We were poor for first half hour and then out of nowhere did a nice move that got us to 1-1.
I'd be tempted to get AEG on just to stretch them a bit more.

Joke of a red card that, Konsa barely touched Bowen.
Hause probably could've gone instead.
Have to get Mings on now....
Game over.
I have to admit I thought the ref could have sent both Konsa and Hause off. That was the outcome I was half expecting.

It's a shit show, we've lost a lot of guile and brains behind the scenes and now were left with Smith talking bollocks about reactions and not getting the rub of the green.
Really, really poor summers business and a big hole in the identity and leadership of the team. Headless rabble at the moment. Needs changing, starting with a manager with a bit more to him.

For me hause was more of a red. But u cant give konsa a red if your penalising hause as that happened after the initial foul so konsa card would ahve to be rescinded

we are in a relegation battle now for sure. We have to hope that the Toon don't buy their way out of trouble in Jan.
Why?
Make a change and we can probably string together 2-3 wins and 2-3 draws before 2022 and that will get us to 20 points + and back to mid table.
Just don't get this idea we should just wait months of the season out of blind loyalty to DS before getting to Feb and suddenly realising we need to make a change.
Reminds me of when we took way too long to sack Lambert in 14/15 and then we suddenly started winning a few games at the start under Sherwood.
1-4.

You cannot lose 4-1 at home, the 4th defeat in a row and survive as manager.

Giving up goals with 4 defenders behind the ball, down a man or not, is unacceptable.

It’s easy to criticise. One thing I will say apart from the folk living in a different country do we have the right to criticise so much when none of us are at the game again?😂
Of course we do.
Good answer 🤨

Its like being under lambert all over again
Resign as soon as games over
Of course you are entitled to your opinion but Jesus Christ your negativity just pisses me off. Give it a fucking rest. It’s bad enough losing but I’m sure we could all do without your constant negativity

How did we go from the performance against Everton to the performances of late?The warning signs were there at the Everton game…the first half was awful in that game and the excellent goals merely papered over the cracks. Let’s not pretend we played well against Everton despite taking 3 points and scoring some excellent goals (plus they had 3 of their best players out injured).

In fairness the first half of that wasn’t “great”.

I think there’s a lot of criticism from fans who don’t even pay to go the home games that’s all.

Even when we were doing well last season, I never really thought Smith was the man to take us forward, if we lose on Friday, then I would think he would be in danger of the sack, but there again the board have always been very supportive of him and may give him a bit longer.

What a load of horse shit. I go to as many home games as I can get to, but that doesn’t devalue the opinion of someone who is unable to attend any games at all or not as often as myself or others. Every supporter has a right to voice an opinion or criticise whether they’ve been to the game or not.Its like being under lambert all over again
