No Fellaini … Happy New Year!

 

[Massive Spanner]

Why put a defender on this early? Does Mourinho know he's playing against 10 men

He can move Carrick back into midfield now to control the game. Makes sense to me.

 

[AltiUn]

Let's hope the goal inspires us with a bit more urgency.

 

[SwansonsTache]

You guys complaining about Mourinho being negative and defensive realise that we had a midfielder playing at centreback right? Now he is back in midfield.

 

[VeevaVee]

Hmm not too happy with immediately going defensive. And West Ham are about to go more attacking. It's just inviting a rocky last 20 minutes

Edit: ah yeah, it makes sense actually. Hopefully we don't sit back

 

[DeOddi]

Rashford´s confidence on the pitch is really impressive. Messed up that big chance when he should have squared it to Ibrahimovic who was free in the penalty box, and then he does that.

 

[Drifter]

Big Carroll coming on

 

[Rado_N]

Did Neville just say it was kicking off in the crowd?

 

[Mihai]

Defending the lead against 10 men

No, we're going back to carrick pogba Herrera midfield, good sub imo as they will get Carrol on

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Bit too early that sub.

Initial reaction was agreed, but West Ham will probably put Carroll on soon.

 

[Dinghy]

Why take off our best counter-attacking player and replace him with Smalling when they need to go forward and are one man down with 25 min to go. Stupid sub.

 

[Enigma_87]

Defending the lead against 10 men

He needs a rest mate. Not in the game today.

 

[Pyro19]

I hope Smalling doesn't start hoofing the ball every chance he gets.

 

[RK]

3 subs by the 65th minute is worrying. At this time of the year I'd rather keep the spare man a bit longer. Can see this ending 10-v-10 after an injury.

 

[Dobba]

Did Neville just say it was kicking off in the crowd?

Wouldn't be a West Ham home game without a bit of that.

 

[thepolice123]

Wow been so long since we saw a Jones-Smalling in defence.

 

[yumtum]

How has Kouyate not been booked yet?

Boooo.

That's why.

 

[Janson]

We need Fellaini on for Herrera soon.

 

[podurban2]

What are the cretin fans doing now?

 

[VorZakone]

Where the hell did this Lanzini fella even come from? Never heard of him before the start of last season.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Pogba not far off there.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

Pissed off about the smalling sub but I think WH are going to fling that fat mess Carrol up front.

 

[Raw]

We need Fellaini on for Herrera soon.

Already made 3 subs.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Herrera playing better now

 

[NoLogo]

How the feck do they put so much pressure on us with one man less on the field. We really need to play this smarter.

 

[ivaldo]

We got it wide and Rashford picked out a cross. Am I wrong?

We took on a player and Rashford passed it to Mata. Anyway, let's not argue pragmatics, a goals a goal!

 

[GDaly95]

Pogba doesn't get enough credit for his work rate. He's been excellent on and off the ball again today.

 

[Nick7]

Carroll coming on really does make the Smalling sub make sense.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

You guys complaining about Mourinho being negative and defensive realise that we had a midfielder playing at centreback right? Now he is back in midfield.

And West Ham are about to bring Carroll on. Jose one step ahead.

 

[GifLord]

MATA 0-1




fixed

 

[marlowe78]

Pogba damn

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Mourinho managing a tired bunch of players very well here for my money.

 

[ash_86]

Mkhitarian hasn't been good today, TBH. Average.

The whole team has been average. BTW, he'd had an assist today had in Valencia put in that sitter.

 

[Enigma_87]

Pissed off about the smalling sub but I think WH are going to fling that fat mess Carrol up front.

About to come on.

 

[carlosp]

Yeah, I would have preferred Mkhi on for a bit longer to force another goal before bringing on Smalling.

 

[AltiUn]

Carroll coming on really does make the Smalling sub make sense.

Yep, absolutely the right sub, doesn't miss a trick does Jose.

 

[JTW95]

West Ham finally come out to play. With 10 men we have a chance to catch them on the break.

 

[DrRodo]

What a great luxury player Mata is

 

[Janson]

Already made 3 subs.

Oh yeah, I forgott.
