Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
If the team turn up today with the same defeated before they start attitude they had against the Mancs then we will loose and heavily, instead, today they must show , passion, heart, desire, energy and fight for the relegation battle they have played themselves in to and give us some belief that they care as much as we do

Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
If we play a central midfield that includes the likes of Noble, Collison, Taylor then we will get destroyed. No pace or power between them
Play players in their correct positions. Alou Diarra is a holding midfield player with power. The above 3 are NOT. So play Diarra there. Morrison is NOT a holding midfield player either. So don't play him BEHIND Noble
Diame is a central midfield player - not a right winger - so play him there. He is a liability out wide as he does not protect his full back and will try too much in the wrong areas. Also Joe Cole is a central player - not a winger. He also does little to protect his full back
If you want a player playing behind Maiga/Cole who has pace, trickery, dribbling ability and who knows where the goal is - then it has to be Ravel and not Nolan right now. Nolan let us down badly at Anfield. Leave him on the bench and bring him on if we need him
If Collins continues to hoof the ball today it will keep gifting Arsenal possession. We cannot afford to do that. So players have to have the confidence to come short and get the ball so that the only option open to Collins is NOT a hopeful "hoof". Our front man HAS to hold the ball up to take pressure off the rest of the team
Every player has an opposite number who he is supposed to mark when we are out of possession. Make sure we do that. Chelsea managed to nullify Arsenal on Monday night by them all doing their jobs
If players do NOT do their jobs then BFS has to let them know and drop them if necessary. Clearly with all the injuries we have that may not be possible. I would like to think it will be with new additions

Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
Well put and all sounds great mate but why can a layman see things with such insight and clarity while the 13th highest paid Manager on the planet, Fat Sam, constantly get his transfer policy, team selection, and all over management wrong yet still have the backing of most on here and more importantly the Dizzy Daves ?

Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
Another half of same old Allardyce Hit and Hope football devoid of quality, how it's 0-0 I don't know but while it is, I suppose there is always the chance that a long ball from Adrian may lead to some ping pong, pin ball stuff in their box and we may bounce one in....... Theres positive for you

Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
Great shot from Nolan and well pleased it was Cole to bet the rebound 1-0 to the Cockney Boys

Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
Poor defensive performance after coping fairly well for an hour. Thought Tomkins was poor for two of the goals.

Re: West Ham United FC V Arsenal
Relegation beckons chaps. Fulham, Sunderland and Palace all fighting more for their lives than us. OK this was Arsenal but we've been poor for so many recent games. We're getting worse while other teams are improving.

We didn't play too bad for the first hour though, beat Tottenham a week ago, the next two games will be massive in our season IMO.

"It's Only West Ham so Arsenal Should Have Won"
This is what the after game panelist's ( and let's face it every one else ) sees us !!!!!
The dinosaur Allardyce and his prehistoric, ugly dysfunctional Hit and Hope football now sees us second bottom and heading down, really hope all the Fat Sam loving denislists on here are happy with the excuse of a manager they covet so much !!!
