2024/25 Beto

why doesn't the gravel voiced divvy play him and DCL together when needing a goal instead of putting a centre-back up front?
Why can’t we even start them both, surely the weekend was the game to try that, why are we so ingrained into this one system and shape?

I’d have had Beto getting well more minutes than he has, he’s raw but he’s a trier and minutes will help him sharpen up, instead of snatching 15 mins here and there.

They can't play them together because he hasn't coached them properly. It was evident when they played together against Luton in the cup, absolutely nothing had been worked on as a partnership and that was 100% evident. Can't remember what game but he tried it again a couple of months later and again it was obvious it was a system he hadn't worked on.

He's been paid an awful lot of money to do very little effort on the football side of things.

It’s pathetic and frustrating.

Were so one dimensional, the most predictable team in the pyramid.

100%. If your an opposition manager/team you really should be thinking "1 goal and we should get a positive result".

You basically know the team he'll select barring injury, the style of play is "you have the ball because we're no good with it", his substitutions and in game management are none existent.

We're actually looking worse which I didn't think was possible.

Spot on mate, Southampton just did that too us, Fulham very nearly did as well, and got a good point.

We are definitely looking worse, we should improve with branthwaite back in the side, if he decides to play him like, but I want much more from the manager.

We’ve just gifted Martin and the saints there first win, wham are in a mess but I have no faith that we won’t do the same for lopetgui.

Any team in bother must be praying they are playing us soon, we’re like a charity to crap teams.

Yeah, if your West Ham your thinking "we'll get our season up and running this weekend".
 

Was largely anonymous when he came on apart from an incredible bit of defensive work blocking that shot from Lindstrom.

It's funny how toothless our strikers look when we're not trying to score a goal. When we're down a goal and actually pushing forward, both become more effective. Seems obvious, but the fact of the matter is that we're not really trying to score goals from open play, unless we really must.

Because the rest of the team isn’t strong enough to cope with losing a player from midfield, also having two players who can’t hit a barn door is not necessarily better than having one.
The whole game would be long ball after long ball.

He’s not raw, he’s poor. No one of his age and experience can be described as raw, that’s his game.
