West Ham 2-3 Fulham - League Cup 15/09

[Woolly Mammoth]

Regrettably i have to say our defensive unit resembles the Dog & Duck 4th XI.

[MisfitKid]

Is ESR playing through the middle or on the left? I'm not watching.

Maybe...

Reed and Cuenca need to be subbed.

[Deeping_white]

That is why most of this defence & Reed will not be a starting cohort in the PL though, Reed has been naff for years and Andersen & Cuenca just not at Bassey & Affi's levels. Annoying because we have controlled the game so well except for two chances and should be winning. Overall they will tire chasing the ball and are quite open down the flanks so there are more goals in it, I would take Reed off fairly quickly and then we should have enough to win the game comfortably

[Jules]

We just cannot defend. Any type of pressure and we look like we will concede. We are way on top and should have had about 4 in the first half. Bloody level again. Fuming!

[AnOldBrownie]

Our defence are just a bunch of clowns

You need a #6 that can relieve pressure.   Harrison Reed is too small to do that.   You can have a small #8, #10..wide players..

You can't have a diminutive #6 protecting the back line.

Isnt Pablo the one west ham fans take the mick out of for be 💩

[Sting of the North]

There have been two instances where Harrison Reeds play have left us threatened in the back.   You can't have. #6 that small.   You just can't.

I think Reed has been quite hopeless, as he often is in my opinion, but those chances didn't happen because he is small. It's because he makes bad decision and is technically not good enough for this level.

In my opinion.

[bencher]

Just soft. We wheel out Reed for these games every season and he's so unreliable. Meant to be the captain, should be leading the team to a half time lead by making sure they do the simple things.

[Simunch]

That was painful to watch. I detest wild passing out of defence straight to the opposition. It's rarely ever productive.

[demeant0r]

This has Palace written all over it

[Steeeeeeeeeed]

Most of the stats are showing a big plus on the Fulham side, except for Aerial Duels won, which is 71% to West Ham, 29% Fulham.

[Jules]

Reed and Cuenca need to be subbed.

add Kevin to that list. Hopeless.

[bill taylors apprentice]

I don't know what good Reed may bring to the squad off the pitch but on it he brings nothing but problems.
Apart from his wonder goal last season that's been the case for over a year now!

[Deeping_white]

I also think that despite him being a nice bloke and future coaching material, having Reed in our squad is a waste of a spot & money because he isn't very good and hopfully this is the final nail in the coffin.

Yep

Strongly disagree. You just need a better player, not a bigger one. He didn't fail to clear the ball because of his size, for example.

[Rambler]

Some pretty shite defending for their goals but on the left we are destroying them. Seems like Robinson is playing high when we have the ball and castagne staying back to have a back 3 incase we lose it.

So Palacios and Robinson striking up a good link up but Kevin can't do much because castagne is staying back

I expected him gone 2 years ago

Kevin is at least good at defending
