Two stupid goals. Missed penalty.Missed sitter.Disallowed goal/failure to award penalty.Other than that, we were by far the better team. It's the individual errors and lack of quality in key moments that is costing us. I'm not blaming VAR for that defeat, it was part of the issue but putting away easy chances and stopping goal-scoring opportunities is the bread and butter stuff we didn't get right. Trez is so frustrating. Watkins was an inch away from scoring that penalty, it was almost perfect and I don't blame him for going top corner.Those goals though, fuck me it's bad.Silly defensive mistakes,

They're way too sloppy, and our record when coming from behind is atrocious.

Small margins....

Small margins....It's schoolboy stuff. We've been caught out with McGinn in as a header of the ball a couple of times, he's never going to do that job.
we may have lost 4 out of 5 but we shouldn’t have That’s the difference from previous seasons can’t remember being so pissed of with a performance than last night to many players need to take a look at themselves Mings, Target, McGinn, Watkins, Trez none of them are under any pressure of losing their place in the first 11 because we have no quality to replace thembut we should have won easily last night against a side who play Bruce ballthese players let themselves and the club down, it’s not good enough I dont put Conor in that group because he’s very limited and can’t do any better,he is what he is out of his depth but that’s not his fault West Ham are not a good football side yet they are 5 th in the league ffsOpportunity missed again
Quote from: Lastfootstamper on December 01, 2020, 08:40:52 AMTo me, our form is annoying rather than concerning. 'Concerning' would be scratching around the bottom 8 and wondering where the next win is coming from, 'annoying' is knowing that were it not for missing a handful of chances in two games we'd be top of the league with a game in hand.It is concerning for me. It’s no good beating Liverpool and Arsenal so convincingly and then losing to Leeds, Southampton, Brighton and West Ham. It’s much better than last season, a real improvement, but our inability to create so little chances (and then not take them, when we do) given how much possession we have is worrying.

That's pretty much where I am, John though I was more pissed off with the result against one of the poorest teams we've played this season. West Ham look like a pub team with big blokes that try to bully the opposition. If Rice can make the England team there's hope for everybody, every ball backwards. The really are horrible to watch and reminded me of a Pulis team.

Always find it odd when people talk about poor performance of teams as if the opposition have no influence on that. They have been pretty decent this season - draw with Man City, smashing Wolves and Leicester - and we fairly comprehensively outplayed them. I appreciate that game state (them having a lead to defend) influences that a bit, but we are a missed penalty and sitter away from an goof away win. And that’s without even getting into the stupidity of VARObviously we have areas/points of our game that we need to improve, but if you look at the performances in the last three defeats we are not far away from being a decent team.
Have those PGMOL ****** apologised yet?

Fuck off. Let’s see how laid back they are when it happens to them. Because it will.
