Ryan had last van het Vindahl syndroom.

Ik sta altijd vooraan om Jansen te bekritiseren. Maar dit is gewoon een kwaliteitsprobleem. Voorin ben je op beide vleugels compleet lam. Op de bank zit niets qua aanvallende kwaliteit. Je kan wel roepen je moet aanvallen, maar dan moet je ook meer man vooruit schuiven. Precies wat hun willen. Dan ben je extra kwetsbaar in de omschakeling. De goals vallen weer uit standaardsituaties. Uit open spel zijn hun nauwelijks echt gevaarlijk geweest.

Pavlidis op een eiland, dat ziet toch iedereen. Odgaard belachelijk slecht, alweer. Brederode kent zn eigen zwaktes en speelt naar zn vermogens (die niet az1 waardig zijn). Yuki werd aardig zoekgespeeld. Dewit na die domme gele kaart heel de wedstrijd op de handrem. Centrale duo had die grote spits aardig in de tang. Maar aan de bal beukema en yuki slecht. Clasie en Reijnders vrij behoorlijk.
Als team wel redelijk gespeeld denk ik en niet naief. Aanvallend gewoon onmachtig. West ham een kutploeg via dode momenten toch nog wint. Hopen op Karlsson en kerkez

Deels mee eens.

Je loopt nu tactisch - technisch ook wel tegen de grenzen van je mogelijkheden aan.

Toch blijft er met name het probleem dat AZ verdedigend te laag gaat staan en de corners en dode spelmomenten over zich afroept.

Zag je uit tegen Feyenoord ook al. De grote vraag is: hoe ver loop je achteruit en waar zet je jouw verdedigingslinie neer? AZ rent doorgaans al de eigen zestien in...

Mees de Wit geeft dan ook de ene na de andere corner weg waar hij ballen gewoon naar de zijlijn kan knallen. Mag je - ook als trainer - wel iets kritischer op zijn.

[Welsh Hammer]

Congrats with the win.

May i say that mister Antonio is such an embarassment. Guy is bigger then a truck, but gets bullied of the ball atleast 10 times by Beukema and Hatzidiakos . To go down after each small contact. Does he like to eat grass or something. What a silly guy. Props to the reff for not falling for it. Really unfortunate we are missing some key players.

The opinions on the West Ham forum differ from me.

They are happy to be winning.

I thought apart from 20 minutes we were awful.

Antonio falling at any opportunity ! disgusting

But that was the plan any set piece near your box we looked like scoring.

I am interested in this question

Do you think you now have a better chance of getting to the final now after a narrow loss away or do you think you are in a worse position ?

Almost everybody here would have signed in advance for a draw or a 1 goal down. We where down 2 goals against Anderlecht. I'm confident AZ will fix this.

From what I have read West Ham fans on forum think we have enough

I know we won't play like we did at yours and we will score so I think its in the balance ...

Interesting Basel won away that was unexpected

Depends you know. If kerkez and Karlsson are back, thats a massive boost for us. Just the physical difference makes it hard for AZ to compete in the air. We need to make the difference through quick passes. Thats why missing some key players hurts us.

We havent lost in years at home. And i was surprised we had so much possesion yesterday. You guys deffinitely didnt show the huge budget difference. All to play for!

Ryan had last van het Vindahl syndroom.

Wat? Ballen pakken?

[salmonyappi]

Weet je wat kortzichtig is; dat jij denkt dat de ballen die wij op 3/4 van het veld hebben systematisch achteruit gespeeld worden tot we notabene bij de keeper zijn en deze vervolgens uit paniek alsnog een lange bal moet spelen waardoor we balbezit kwijt zijn in plaats van de gedurfde actie met als beloning een goal maken.

Dat is pas kortzichtig als jij denkt dat de spelers niet allemaal door Jansen geinstrueerd zijn tot deze beslissingen.

Wat ik er kortzichtig aan vind is dat men gewoon niet wil zien wat er wél goed gaat. En dat is best veel als je een ploeg als West Ham thuis 67 minuten op 0 houdt. Die stomme pingel is geheel op Ryan te verhalen, en door de adrenaline bij publiek en spelers van WH valt die domme 2e. Tot die tijd hadden we de boel (bijna) volledig onder controle. Of verwacht jij dat we dit soort wedstrijden even met 0-3 moeten winnen?

En op de scheids, die de overtreding op Mees de Wit die daaraan vooraf ging niet bestraft maar laat doorspelen.

[Langedijk]

I thought apart from 20 minutes we were awful.

I agree. No serious chances apart from standard situations. Lucky that the referee you were fearing didn’t gave a free kick to AZ just before the 1-1. Without the failure of Ryan a 1-1 draw would have been the maximum .

Why are you suddenly a lot milder in another language?

[vriend]

Ballen wegstompen. En hoofden voor ballen aanzien.

[DeZuivelDuivel]

Als hij die bal had willen vangen, had hij de speler alsnog geraakt.
Hij is gewoon niet op tijd.
Andersom was het mogelijk ook een overtreding geweest denk ik.

[vriend]

gedurfde actie met als beloning een goal maken.

En wie moeten dan die gedurfde actie maken? Brederode? Odgaard? Dan overschat je de vaardigheden van deze beperkte spelers. Reijnders lag steeds op de loer om een slim balletje te geven. Maar deed dat liever niet naar Odgaard want die verprutst het toch weer.

Zoals Antti ergens al zegt, AZ zat in deze wedstrijd technisch en tactisch aan het maximum. Het is wat het is.

[Langedijk]

I can’t find the words to describe the awful performance of fucking Van Brederode, Sugawara, Beukema and Ryan. Those fucking idiots

[Grifo]

Good to read our best player, with great goalscoring qualities, a beckham-level set pieces, and technical skills even Paqueta would love to have, Dani de Wit, returns from a longterm injury.

Not to mention his speciality: his through passes from his natural 10-position giving many opportunities to our striker, Vangelis Pavlidis. If only the latter had the same skills as De Wit. Halfway the competition we were still on track for our first title since 2009, but the injury of De Wit shattered our dreams and now we might even lose out on a ticket for European football next season. But with him returning, I'm confident we'll win the last two games in the league.

While The White is not very technical, I do believe his physical play style can be useful in certain games. He and Ryan are our only kastoes.

[Welsh Hammer]

So what's the team for Thursday ?

Will the injured players make the team ?

There are rumours Antonio is injured but I think that is a lie

Coufal may be back but that's 50/50

So we are expecting same team but with a stronger bench with two defenders returning.

[Langedijk]

So what's the team for Thursday ?

Kerkez back, Karlsson and Dani de Wit able to play. Maybe not from the start but they will appear. So, better squad this time and playing at home. West Ham must do a lot better than last week.

From falling down all the time? What a disgrace this guy.

agree with him faking fouls last week but I think he has a minor injury but our manager is not revealing if he is fit or not.

West Ham didn't play well last week so expect a tougher game on Thursday and your lot will need to come forward and not pass to yourselves just in your own box for long spells !

Beware us on break and from set pieces as your keeper looks dodgy
