Wet Ham Sandwich (A match thread)

Extended highlights beyond the MOTD reel. Looks like we played some really good stuff. Did West Ham really offer so little, or has this been chopped very much with a Forest bias?

Our keeper barely needed to make a save.

They really didn’t do much. A couple of half decent breaks from Antonio and one real threat that Murillo took care of. Declined putting any set pieces into real danger areas and a couple of halfway decent crosses. I feel like one pinged around the area but didn’t come to anything. Occasionally looked a bit threatening down the wings.
Other than that, very very little.
Forest could have been winning at a canter at several points before the second if every shot hadn't been right at the keeper.

I feel like Tavares has an absolute worldy lurking within. Unfortunately, it’s going to take about 80 rising pot shots first.

I keep meaning to look up the highlights video on the West Ham channel. It must be very short.

The Ward-Prowse free kick was probably as close as they got and that wasn't very.

I'm sure Dominguez should have scored as well - free header that the highlights didnt show.

CHO is becoming something of a thrill. That's a special player.
Origi, on the other hand... That flick for the second goal that got the showboat fans reaching into their trousers was lazily done. If Neco hadn't mugged the somewhat demoralised defender then it would have wasted another attack.
Our front 4 unit is a bit fcuking special. Best we've had since...Stone and Woan maybe?

As for the disallowed goal, well Yatesy was the dumbest prat on the pitch right then. He must have known he was offside.

It's going to be such a waste of opportunity if we get administratively relegated with this squad, but of course we wouldn't have had this squad without the administrative rule-breaking.

It's a shame the next few opponents are so tough because that was the kind of performance that would give you hope of us going on a little run, tough to do when you have European opponents in the next three games, two of which are on the road. Still, let's hope - Villa are capable of wobbling and Brighton's recent form hasn't been great.

Took my eyes about 40 seconds to see Nuno Tavares' first impact in the highlights vid above.

It's very Guedioura, you'll get a worldie but you'll get 80 others in the upper tier first

You went to a game? /faints

I thought Wet Ham's lumbering centre half looked familiar...

Tricky drinks out of puddles, but he doesn't kick cats.
