LET'S GO!!! COYW ::scarf::
Stream that appears to be working as it stands: https://www.hesgoal.watch/stream-5/
And Black Shorts... ::tongue::
This one appears to be better: https://strikeout.im/epl/1/west-ham-united-vs-fulham-stream
Fast start Fulham please! The start to our last 2 games was good, just cut out the silly passing mistakes.
Love it! Black shorts are back!
A very winnable game. COYW
Kevin off the Schneid please... 🙏
Nice attack but Raul's shot is over the bar
Excellent effort from Wilson, superb save by Areola
Good try by Harry
Bournemouth dropping like a stone.
Our set plays continue to impress. :slap:
Good that Wilson is fit to start after the injury in the last match.
West Ham have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 14 matches.

Leno again
Would love to see Kevin get on the score sheet today. It would do wonders for his confidence.
The passing out from the back is a bit risky so far, not sure why we seem to have a brain fart with our decisions when we play here
Anderson close to a booking there. Need to tighten up as Bowen as twice broke through with ease

It's more the fact that it seems to be the only pressing trap WH are trying to employ in pressing the CB's + Berge so we just need to bypass it and then they drop back deep again
Should be 1-0 West Ham, what a missed header.
Kavanagh needs to stop falling for Paqueta's diving
We don't look great when they take set-pieces

Forest gave Man City a good game today. We absolutely should not be "destroying" them. We could, but it's definitely not as easy as you make it seem.
Lovely ball from Berge to set Jedi away and perhaps we ought to have made more of that
Goals are going to be hard to come by for us.
That looked like a decent attack too, however, Kevin overhit that pass
ESR's header goes over the bar. Shame it wasn't Raul there instead of him
Kevin just aint the goods... yet... here's to hoping
Our offside traps are working well today
Oh dear Wolves, possibly a season without a league victory?
West Ham getting close.
Quote from: First State on December 27, 2025, 03:44:04 PMWest Ham getting close.

bad yellow
Whisper it, but Kavanagh has refereed the game well so far
Our short passing has been wayward so far, lots of little needless errors
3 times bowen through, really need to tighten up

They had one decent chance though Bowen that wasn't offside. Leno made a good save, but yes, I do think we've created more.
Pretty lame, I'd take a point and run a mile here.
dysmal all around. Turgid stuff
Hardly a classic.
Could be another game for Cairney in the second half. However I wouldn't rush to make the sub just yet.
Okay first half. We started well and had good moments here and there. We need to play quicker in the final thrid, we are usually doing everything right up until then, but we slow the game too much llin the final third. The other criticism is set-piece defending. They've looked quite dangerous there.
Raul, who should have done better for that chance early on, and good efforts from Wilson and Andersen have been our 3 standout attacking moments so far.
And Kevin looks like he will never score... (reverse psychology...) 🙄
Poor from Kevin today, always looks like he could do something ina flash but also overthinking way too much at times.
ESR been decent but not alot to work with around him up there.
Defence largely playing well with the offside trap. Raul offering nothing again. We really gotta try something different at this point up top.
Id bring JKA on at 60 but will never happen
Also TC for lukic
Half time stats
Possession:
West Ham 45% - 55% Fulham
Shots:
West Ham 3 - 7 Fulham
Shots on target:
West Ham 1 - 3 Fulham
Lacking any control, Cairney and King for Lukic and Kevin and stick ESR on the left

Fair assessment.
We need someone with a bit of movement up top because I don't rate Kilman or Todibo at all, either get Wilson as a false 9 or give JKA a chance. Raul still needs a rest and I think it was summed up by him being offside when Leno went long which is basics to not be onside for something like that. Reckkon we see TC at some point as well to give us control in the middle
GJ wants to see TC brought on. Why? Not because he has the ability to win the game (which he has) but "because we're running out of time to see him". I think you'll get your wish GJ but not just yet. We need to wait until WH are a bit more tired and then he might be able to outrun his marker.
Terrible shot from Raul
Come on, let's step it up this half.
JKA for Raul please NOW!
Poor that from Andersen
What will it take for Raul to come off before the 60th min? He's offering nothing
Quote from: Twig on December 27, 2025, 04:07:42 PMJKA for Raul please NOW!

Well he's capable of running at rather more than a gentle jog at least.
How does he not score...?
Oh Kevin.... ::angry::
Nice tracking back by Jedi.
That's not a foul by Andersen...
Tom Daley coming on for them
Game is opening up.
It actually feels like abuse having Raul on at this point, he's not able to run at all

True but this is a must win for them. A draw would be fine if a bit uninspiring for us.
JKA needs to come on sooner rather than later. How much worse can he do?
Quote from: MisfitKid on December 27, 2025, 04:18:44 PMDid ESR come out after the half?
Did any of our players?
Marco subs pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Lukic should do better there
I feel like if we score one we'll get another one at least,as the spaces will open up.
Jedi was working on his crossing when he was out.
Not taking our chances again
How was that a throw in for West Ham?
We should be 1-0 down righ tnow
no one will score...
We need somw subs now
One half we turn up, one half we dont, sort it out Silva
Definitely a momentum shift. Let's get back in this.
King is about to come on
Good change
Subs before we concede please
Kevin off. I guess ESR will move to the left wing
Decent exchange there, but nothing on the end.
Kevin has been quite poor today tbf.
Fark me please take Raul off he's not doing anything at all, we have nothing up front as a focal point or to create any passing opportunities
Just Another week
Asking why oh why Raul is still on the pitch at 70minutes
Poor defending. We need to do better.
They should have 2 or 3...

Forest gave Man City a good game today. We absolutely should not be "destroying" them. We could, but it's definitely not as easy as you make it seem.
I'll beg to differ on that. Monday was two very average teams putting in very average performances which we edged. How many times have we bemoaned the fact that we didn't take our chances and we have lost late on or been held to a draw, that is where I think 'should' comes in. I think the general point is if we hit the target more when in the ascendancy, as we were for periods against Forest and have been today, we would be destroying teams at least one nil.
Raul must come off
Another game where we allow the opposition to play. Are we really that bad without the Afcon 3?
We do look better since the sub, imo at least
On a stubborn scale of 1-10, Marco's a 10.
Dr Fulham turning up for Spam
Quote from: cookieg on December 27, 2025, 04:29:41 PMAnother game where we allow the opposition to play. Are we really that bad without the Afcon 3?
We're effectively playing with 10 with Raul on the pitch. We can't press high because his legs have gone so it means we basically give territory away every game
Quote from: cookieg on December 27, 2025, 04:29:41 PMAnother game where we allow the opposition to play. Are we really that bad without the Afcon 3?
Yes... ::cool::
a long throw, didnt think we did those
87% possession for us in the last 10 minutes. The sub really helped us
Get JKA on NOW please, please Marco. Jonah can so obviously give us more than Raul is capable of now.

Sounds like we dont deserve to win this. Good job they're just as bad.

Quote from: Deeping_white on December 27, 2025, 04:36:59 PMThese lino's are absolutely blind as a bat, how many dodgy throw in calls are they gonna get
Foul throws seem to be a thing of the passed.
The young untried, inexperienced and unknown quality player that is JKA will always be exactly that if he's never given a chance!
Better a young pair of legs in the closing stages than the knackered occupant of the CF position!
I'm sory but Marco is an idiot not bringing JKA on, he could not do less than Raul and he's ruining the image of the club looking to trust younger talent in favour of "PL experience"
Smith-Rowe and Tete off for TC and Castagne. ESR lookes knackered as he comes off, maybe a good sub actually. That being said, why is Raul still on, by applying the same logic?
Castagne? Hmm. I suppose it signals. Intention to attack but leaves us more vulnerable.
What on earth has JKA done to Marco (or his missus)?
It's TC time to see is through to victory.
Raul!
Raul scores!
Lol humble pie for me
Yes, yes,yes.
Quote from: Twig on December 27, 2025, 04:41:26 PMWhat on earth has JKA done to Marco (or his missus)?
Maybe he hasn't done his missus and that's the problem.

Bam!!!
of course...
Quote from: Deeping_white on December 27, 2025, 04:42:29 PMLol humble pie for me

Marco knows nothing..................
Phew!
::scarf::
Wilson was key yet again.
good old Raul, always said we should keep him on
I kept saying Raul should stay on.
Yeeeees
Good job Marco is stubborn
TYETESTSETS!
Yes!!!!!
Horrible defending by West Ham.
Just as well Raul stayed on
Ha Ha The Raul Moaners. :slap:
Marco is a genius... :slap: :slap: :slap:

WTF do I know! ::scarf:: ::beer::
now get raul off the young lad on to press before we let one in
Great for Raul, but I would back JKA to score that though. I know he's scored but he is making things harder for us by being totally immobile and Marco needs to thin about what he does tactics wise because we gave West Ham far too much time in the first 25 mins of the second half
Need to see this one out now!
Also the irony of football because I thought their LB had been quite good up to the mistake for the goal

In all seriousness I'd still argue that would have been the right option.
The BBC Radio London commentator is gutted we're winning.
Isn't a sign of a many a great striker to remain quite quiet then pop up to score the deciding goal? You can't have amazing games every week (especially when playing every week through an injury) but as long as you score the big chances..

It is but younger legs would give the wingers something to aim when breaking.
I am watching on Football Focus, only.
The commentator at the ground saying that Fulham are seeing the game out very well, and has been very good game management etc.
Final whistle, nice result.
This wasn't the prettiest game, but we'll take the points.
And Marco is still a stubborn mule... 😜
Up to 10th as well, happy days.

Issue is more that he has mostly non Existent games almost every week of late
But a couple times he's popped up with a timely goal so credit to him for that at least
Worst thing is in doing so he justifies us playing him for 90mins again in the next game when we might actually perform better with someone else if we ever tried it. Hopefully these goals continue to help his confidence though
Regardless, he bagged the chance, however easy, and that's what matters today. A great way to end the year

Huge amount of credit (from me at least) goes to Harry Wilson. He unselfishly created two chances where he delivered the ball to the forward line at close range.
I wasn't too happy with the way he remonstrated with the linesman though.

Sure, but one of those was a penalty, sooo let's contextualise that you'd expect our next penalty taker to also be capable of scoring one. Not like he won the penalty
We can talk about it in simple black and white terms sure, but not sure it's useful to do so as that doesnt mean we might not have won more easily with another system (as of course I accept we may of course lost too)
Credit to Raul though. Despite being poor again all game, he's ultimately Scored a key goal again when it matters.

Unnecessary tone really
You can make up how I or others feel about Raul if you like but I think most people always caveat it with it not totally being Rauls fault he's knackered.
Personally I've repeatedly said I love him, think he's been great value for us, and don't think him being pretty much exhausted is his fault. It's possible to take a nuanced position on such things.
Ias I said in my post it's plausible we could also have lost had we tried another player too, but but if ya gonna assess a teams or players general play, I personally think it's perfectly reasonable to be honest about how we/they play generally over 90 minutes and explore if there might be other options that could improve us even more AND still say, credit to him, he's scored and that's important.
But sure. Go off on people about it just cos people are saying two things are possible at once

But sure. Lose ya head about it just cos people are saying two things are possible at once
Grow up you say.

So...If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have 6 points from last two games...Fact
Come on...one was a PK and the other would've been made by any striker on the field.
The point is it was him that scored them..
Do you live in a hypothetical world.
As you won't know if someone else would have scored ..Just admit that you hate the guy,you and another couple on the Matchday thread every game...Boring.
