West Ham Online

He’s got me stumped. He puts in so much effort and runs all day and makes us a lot better off the ball as well as trying hard when we have it, harasses defenders and tires the opposition out to give a good opportunity for Wilson to come on. I like him. We are better when he’s playing…

BUT he seems like an utter donkey. Giraffe on roller skates. Woeful touch under any sort of pressure and off the speed of the game in any sort of tight situation and looks less likely to score than Areola. Like the absolute opposite of Wilson who has none of th physical tools but all the brain and composure. 

So what do we make of him? 

I think fraser was trying a bit too hard here with his his coaching manual. Formations don't win games, players do. These managers are paid millions a year to find 'solutions' as Nuno puts it. We ain't gonna nosedive because a headless chicken is out for a bit.

Apparently he’s “an utter donkey. Giraffe on roller skates.

Yet we’re going down now because he’s out for a bit.

I hope he tries one of the youngsters out, I don't think Wilson is up to it.

As long as Fernandes, Bowen & Summerville all stay fit, we have a chance of staying up.

An injury to any one of them, and we're toast.

We don't have anything similar, Wilson just can't do it. Taty was subbed after 65 minutes looking fucked against Man U... Trying to do it all by himself.

It's a big blow to how we want to play... 

Yea yea, we know that Pep. Well done. So a bloke who we brought in from Portugal who nobody had heard of who has no pace, no technical ability, can't score, but runs around a lot, is now a big problem that he's unavailable? I'm not having it. Like I say it's a blow but there's more than one way to skin a cat and I am not expecting our form to nosedive based on this fella being out. It sounds like you do. Your opinion.

our biggest problem is negative bollocks reverting back to his old ways and taking away an attacking player. I don't think for a minute that he'll give one of the kids a start up front in the league (he should, ajala being one), but we're only staying up if he keeps things positive

As long as Wilson stays fit I'm not sure it's an issue, biggest problem will be if Wilson gets crocked and lets face it the cսnt has form.

Would imagine Nuno will be using Wilson sparingly though, subbed early or subbed on early, take your pick.

Is Pablo gash though???? TBH i have only watched highlights given my displeasure of all things West Ham, so fucks knows, but let's give the cսnt a chance, although that chance maybe in the championship, although with the current Forest situation it may well be down to them tuning shit rather than us going on an extend run of wins, we are better but im not sure going 5 or 6 on the trot is ging to happen....................

Def a blow but we do have options, and we have been lucky with injuries overall.

If true that massively affects our chances of staying up in my opinion. 

Reports on YouTube that he's out for the season

On the other hand, if throwing toilet brushes becomes an olympic sport, then Adama is yer man.

I like him and taty..the pressing is only going to last for a half though....which is clearly playing out

No great loss. El Simpleton labelled him an "utter donkey".

Apparently slipped at Burnley retrieving the ball for a throw in.. 

Pablo apparently out for a while, some saying he needs surgery, big blow.

Getting a pass from some because he tries really hard. That doesn’t warrant a start. 

Our defence can’t defend and our strikers can’t score goals. Recipe for relegation. 

Only a matter of time until we see Traore starting on the wing and Bowen back upfront.
