Being an armchair fan these days meant today was the first time I've watched a full West Ham game this season.
I can now understand why everyone is tipping us for the drop we were rubbish :(
I know most of the first team were out injured but those making up the numbers weren't a bunch of untried kids they were all players who have been first teamers at some stage.
Rob Green comes out blameless as he had no chance with the goals and made several excellent saves to keep us from total humiliation, Fred Piquionne again showed the pace and talent to look our best forward although missing a good chance in the second half, as for the rest Mark Noble is probably not fit yet after his appendix op a couple of weeks ago.
We sold a really good Welsh defender last season for some reason and kept Danny Gabbidon who is about 4 years past his best, Ilunga and Jacobsen are average at best and we always look better when Matthew Upson is injured obviously I'm not a fan of his.
Luis Boa Morte has talent shame he only shows it for about 2 minutes every game, Kovac is no Scott Parker (nor any other good midfielder), Obinna looked good earlier in the season but was anonymous today, Carton Cole is looking like the player we signed a few years back .. distinctly average.
Pablo Berrera came on and looked lively but with little service.
Luckily Liverpool didn't play in the second half and saved us a hiding but we were awful, I've accused Liverpool of being a one man team and we should have had a chance with Gerrard missing but sadly we are also a one man team and Scotty Parker was badly missed today.
