We're missing Gilmour, Mac Allister, Caicedo, Gross... and the list goes on. There are positive signs in midfield, for example Baleba, but the midfield is not as good as it was one/two seasons ago.
I'm slightly concerned since there seems to be a rise of issues happening off the pitch at the club. Admittedly, most of it are simply rumours but I do worry if there has been a fall out amongst the players/coaches. I remember these issues happening under RDZ and now it seems to have repeated...
It must have been something off the pitch for this to happen. From what I've seen of him, he has been great. It's such a shame it has resulted like this.
We should have re-appointed Potter when we had the chance. He is a better manager than Hurzeler and West Ham will likely finish above us by the end of the season :down:
I have seen the same thing occur and it wasn’t given as a penalty. I want to see consistency in refereeing but I’m not seeing any improvements I’m afraid.
Minteh was late for the match. Rumours of unrest in the training ground. Ferguson leaves on loan. Several "injuries" happening recently. Not a good look for Hurzeler.
Not sure if I can blame Lamptey here. The lineup selection was absolutely awful as he had no midfield support at all. The penalty shouldn't have been given either. He is more of a wing-back, maybe even a winger, than a full-back in my opinion.
He was the only player who put in effort today. However, he is not a midfielder! Please play him as a striker since he is the only player at the moment who can score goals.
