Confirmed line-ups
WHU – Fabianski; Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals; Antonio
TOT – Lloris; Emerson, Romero, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Skipp; Moura, Ndombele, Son; Kane
West Ham United was the surprise package of last season’s Premier League and has carried on from where they left off (W4, D2, L2), a win here would lift them above fellow top-half side Tottenham Hotspur. It would also keep their fans dreaming of a second consecutive European campaign and more nights like Thursday’s 3-0 UEFA Europa League thrashing of Genk.
However, if the ‘Hammers’ are to remain in what could be an intense battle for European qualification, they must start picking up more points at home as they’re winless in three league games here (D1, L2). After conceding decisive goals after the 85th minute in the last two of those fixtures, they won’t need reminding about the importance of staying switched on for the duration.
Spurs are not favourites with the bookies, with West Ham notionally fancied, but the value is with the draw. The biggest talking point surrounding this match is undoubtedly Nuno’s future, should Spurs lose another London derby, so early in the season.
What has Delia done with all the parachute money? I bet the Norwich fans would love to know.
Maybe it is only one after all.
do people actually pay to watch spurs play? besides opposing team fans, We all know United will get a win next Sat. ENIC out now!!!!
The real issue is our wonderful owner, Levy is in reality an office boy working to his instructions. Lewis has no interest in the club and since buying the club on Levy’s advice has never invested a penny. We have the only billionaire owner who has never invested in the club he owns, even the much maligned Ashley put money into Newcastle when required.
All Lewis and Levy are interested in is enriching themselves at the clubs expense.
I know of 1 who is the other ? pls do tell:).
Nuno has already arrived at the delusional state that managers reach normally much later with the ENIC/Levy toxic atmosphere. Totally delusional after-match comments in which he claims we were the better team and had more possession. The guy needs escorting off the premises and out the back door quietly
I don’t find him particularly dynamic personality I have to say.
yeah, United off the pace this season 😉
I was expecting them to tire in the second half. but Spurs were the culprits. Nono must really inspire them at HT.
Not that long ago when we were above Liverpool. We built a stadium but they built a team, Mane can’t even get in their team, did Levy even try to get Mane? No, because he cost too much and Rose wouldn’t have had to google him.
Not to fear Tommy I bet Brentford are quaking.
Dull, predictable and passive. Utter tosh.
There’s one regular or two that won’t be showing up today, I’ll let you work out which..
OGS to receive his P45. Could be on his way to N17, it would be Spursy to say the least, but nothing surprises us anymore.
Utter shite. I can’t be anymore constructive. The football is dull and passive. Who will blink first?
And as usual where are the Levy apologist downvoters now? Nowhere to be seen, what a bunch of wan kers.
The cynics among us thought that Walker going was the beginning of the neglect. The dullards thought it was good business for a ‘want away’ player and he had to go etc. The cynics have been proven right, as if they were ever not going to be… 🤔
so the alleged 4th best side in the league are 4-0 down at half time
Yep started with those 3 windows he failed to back Poch. Levy entirely to blame for our demise. He dug a hole back then and hasn’t stopped digging since.
Criminal neglect. Also took them two whole years to replace Wanyama. We played almost three seasons without a defensive midfielder. It’s a complete joke of a setup, it really is…
True but you could say Dembele filled his boots to an extent for a couple of years.
We huffed a bit, puffed a bit but same old inability to get the result. We’ve been like that since Levy pulled the plug on backing Pochettino a few years ago. Aside from the run to the CL final of course.
We lack zip and energy because the owners have no zip or energy and the dull, lifeless investment company mentality filters down from the top. Shocking state of affairs…
we’re the losers but didn’t get the draw?
this is over my head, i’m going to lie down
20 years, got it right once, maybe twice, pulled the plug. bald facts
sounds awfully familiar
WHU will finish above us but EL qualification is their ceiling. Rice will be gone for £100m at the end of the season ans they will be back to being average
You sure?
And Modric.
Apparently Nuno thought we dominated the game.He’s not wrong I suppose if that means more possession in your own half.Turgid stuff indeed.
Like our player of the season awards, the Italian league have awards for the best goalkeeper, best defender, best midfielder, best striker, best young player and strangely the most valuable player… Romero won best defender.
lol
9 goals in 9 games
You do the math
I hate to say it but at this rate Arsenal will be going above us.
Fat chance.
10-1 on aggregate too. How is the manager still in a job?
It’s the way Wolves played, it’s all he knows I think. Son not at his best didn’t help. Kane obviously wants out and it’s hard to blame him when you look at the mediocrity behind him. Levy failed to replace Eriksen, Dembele and Walker. We’ve not recovered.
Yeah or only 7 points off top 😂😂😂
Four losses in all London derbies so far and we’re only in October.
Only 11 points clear of relegation 😉
Sadly we were today. Bottled it, or had very poor instructions.
I dont understand this comment, other than Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea, who exactly ARE “going somewhere”?
Poor. Needed to play at a much higher tempo, way too much ‘trap -> look around -> play a 10yd sideways pass’. The question is WHY? Was it tactics by Nuno to slow it down or were the players just devoid of ideas?
Missed a really good chance to go 4th… although judging by the comments here you’d think we’re about to get relegated.
No someone needs to do it to Levy
No that’s in millions from his wages.
Spam are into the top 4 aren’t they?
West Ham did exactly what they always do. They were solid defensively and focused on counters and set-pieces. Enough to beat us.
I like Reguilon, but he cost us the corner, and Kane looked like he couldn’t be bothered to mark his man. Poor.
A little more conviction from Ndom and Kane in crossing positions and we’d have been 2-0 up. Sadly, we were found lacking AGAIN.
This is going to be a massive January and what’s the betting Levy will go for somebody who needs googling? Reinforcing average with mediocrity.
Plus of course his usual kiddy wink punt who joins us in 2037 once he’s born.
West Ham will finish above us this season.. they are fitter & have a better sqaud.
Maureen improved both Kane & Son… those guys wont have seasons like it again…not playing for Spurs anyway
90% of the Premier League
Dirty drawers
That was like watching two bald men fight over a comb. A pointless game between 2 bang average teams going nowhere
Is that in all competitions?
God we’re a boring team to watch.
Nuno’s pincer movement
Strikes fear throughout the land
NEXT!!!!!!!
Kane needed bringing off….WE HAVE ONE STRIKER!!!….I hate these owners….
I think Harry Kane might just scrape into double figures this season.
Boring garbage football.
And that was Hojbjerg from about 60 yards
Yes it’s called the crab cup.
Alan Gilzean was good too.
Basically yes, maybe only once!
Embarrassing. We threw away Thursday for this?
It would be good if we could average more than one shot on target per match. Just saying…
Maureen had a fantastic goal difference last season. We’re progressing, that’s for sure
I’m reading a biography of Alan Gilzean. Looking forward to the part where Spurs win things.
Ancient F”*KING history.
Twice a season then?
have to say..our passing sideways ad backwards must be close to 100% the last 30mins…..do we get a trophy for that..
Nunos on the ball here…. we go 1 down in the 71st minute & he leaves it another 10 to change anything… brilliant. Levy will rue not selling Kane now… hahaha 😂
The dude who can cross gets MOTM, quelle suprise
Are you paying attention My Parrotteachy
Anyone notice how Tappa only appears on here when we’re 2 goals up?
Hopefully in a double suicide pact.
Why bring Bergwijn on the 89th minute, FFS. This is just hopeless on and off the pitch
The Prem table says it all, check the GD
Three good teams all about 25 GD already
A load of absolute chaff
The disgrace that are Norwich
Sack him or sell up, preferably both
no idea what to do…no leaders, no manager, no chairman worth their salt…terrible football..no shots this half…disgusting..we beat Newcastle, yah…
Awful 2nd half. Can’t even draw with a team gassed from Thursday night.
Come on Levy.Pull the trigger on this loser.
Toothless. Flaming toothless
Thank God Millwall and Orient aren’t in the Premier League, Brentford must be rubbing their hands.
He hasnt provided 1 decent cross since he started…
We’re good at playing out a defeat, really taken the sting out of the game
Think I might go and boild my head
Can anybody not named Son or Kane score FFS.
Nothing from our wingers midfield or defence.
Subs far too late. Nuno invisible on the touchline. Hopeless all round
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😊
Lo celso for Tanguy…lol. brilliant. At least he wont run out of gas…😂
I thought Nuno had gone home.
No, losers
Funny when Moura does something with a little zip…and whoever he passes to just slows the move down again like ‘what are you thinking mate?’
It’s unfortunate. All it takes is to get it right once
Our brilliant bench will come to the rescue.
These subs should have come on 10 minutes ago
We can’t cross.
Apart from maybe Harry…who can’t cross to himself
A striker who used to be right back/winger whatever. World class Bowen. Just shows how bad we really are. Should’ve went with Parker instead
He actually said “we don’t put a lot into the training ground for set pieces just we have players willing to put their head in” (unlike Tottenham)
It’s always next summer, isn’t it?
Forget this season. Nothing will happen in January except Dele and/or Winks out. Maybe we could get a reject like Jovic on loan. It’s all about next summer. LB, CB, CM, AM desperately needed. Kane needs to be replaced too
Emerson playing as right wing now.Completely pointless.
