    I'm not too sure about that. At this rate we will easily concede over 125 goals this season, have a goal difference of -100 and a points total of zero.

    Must have been keeping the ball from fishing it out of our net and walking it back to the centre circle.
    I've said it every week and I'll keep saying it, our coaching staff are useless. Bilic has no tactical nous and the rest are mostly his Croatian mates

    We did play football of a high standard once but let's be honest today's performance has been the West Ham way for a long time now with the occasional blip but it soon goes back to being a complete shambles.
    Where we are now we cannot sink much lower it is awful to be a fan of this club !!
    We can only live in hope that somehow things might change.

    Bilic out. And his useless assistants too. We need someone who knows what he is doing.

    Bilic needs to go

    He's a poor manager who over achieved in his first season

    Can gut the whole coaching staff as they aren't showing us anything

    It looks that way,,, just thinking about Europe cup
    What a joke

    We are lacking identity but that is understandable when you have a) chronic injury/fitness issues. b) sold your best player last season, c)have had to deal with the whole OS debacle. We need balance, cohesion and trust in what we need to do, at the minute it isnt quite working and isnt there. Support the manager and let him work with his players to correct the problems because it is solvable internally; changing managers will only be yet another short term fix to a problem and one to further destabilise and set the club back.

    No doubt today was poor and a bad performance. we are mentally vulnerable now and the 2nd goal killed us just shortly after making some positives subs. However other clubs had had similar starts and it is still so early on in the season. Lets focus on the last few days of the transfer window, Work with the players during the international break and hope our injury/fitness conditions will be much better 2 weeks down the line (Reid, Collins, Ogbonna, Kouyate, Lanzini, Obiang, Antonio, Carroll, Sakho all fit into the category). Have faith.

    Noble just got interviewed on Sky and said that he thinks they've been impacted by the travelling over pre season and then only away games.

    I'm sorry, but that really isn't good enough. 4 games into the season, how are they fatigued enough to get turned over by Newcastle?
  • HuttonhammerHuttonhammer
    Noble is impacted whenever he plays football.
    He is a major reason that the club never moves forwards. He was finished when Nolan left , why is he stilll here?

    True. I am so upset I cannot type properly.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Simple fact is 3 games gone we already have conceeded 10 goals with 2 of those teams having struggled to make any sort of scoring chances

    No more excuses
    Bilic should be sacked

    Preseason is only about fitness some said.....well the players don't look fit and tactically NOTHING has been improved....so what was preseason for

    And Noble blaming the travelling is a joke and he should feel embarrassed for saying that, almost every team jet off to several countries for preseason

    With a heavy heart I must say that was 1 of the the most disappointing performances I've seen in a long while.. Will be intersted to see what Iron Herb made of it being there, but on tv they looked very poor against a poor team...
    Huddersfield game IMO massive for Slav.....

    Conceding late goals when chasing the game is a sign of the times in modern day football which is largely based around counter attacking and a deep defensive shape. Its the gamble you make when you are chasing the game. Looks great if you pull a goal back or manage to equalise, looks bad if you dont and the score 1 or 2 more.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    Another 90 minutes of wasted time for me.

    Surely this is something the manager is paid to get sorted, and he isn't doing it.
    I never wanted Bilic and I still don't - roll on the next manager ASAP please
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I didn't.

    Then I did.

    Then I didn't.

    Then I did.

    Now I don't.

    We weren't really chasing the game though.

    #bilicout enough is enough how with the players we have we are that rubbish is down to him. Thanks Slav another weekend ruined ;angry

    Outcast ;ok

    I get ur view and opinion , however I was happy with Bilic being appointed and gave him last season as a new start at our new home ....
    Sadly the 1st 3 games of this season couldn't have gone worse, but today was the icing on the cake IMO , there was not 1 positive to take out of that, that's sad in itself...

    I don't want to get rid of him yet, and hope that they at least give him a " home " game, but as my patience wears out you have to think the 2 D's might feel the same...

    Re Noble- have never slated him on here, but today it was clear to see that he is past his best......

    They've managed to depress me even though I'm in Mallorca. Dread to think how those travelling away fans feel.
  • tomkinsworldclasstomkinsworldclass
    Outcast, we were behind in the game. Its not defending the performance but just in terms of the "goals conceded" issues/stat, it can be inflated as we were behind and more open to counter which is the main thread of modern day football.

    I will be happy to take over as manager of this club.

    I have managed in a number of big financial institutions and never failed.

    I would sell Andy and Mark immediately and not put up with no effort or passion and I would play two up front and a strong midfield .

    What is going on at this club cannot be tolerated any longer.

    Hutton,

    Not sure you could do any worse
