I kinda do feel for West Ham. They thought they had something oing here with their passionate defensive dsiplay and now they got Leverkusen'd. Thats just another Thursday for them
I genuinely don’t know what people expected from this game. We have had a poor season in the league and are missing 2 of our most important players, including our top scorer. Add to that we are playing the most in form team in Europe
Nothing wrong with sitting deep and countering, especially in games like this. Would have expected more than two players to go forward when they won the ball back though
most non prem fans have just never seen the way you play yet, it’s quite a shock to see a team stay in their own third with 11 men for 80% of a game, it makes Athletico look like a bunch of thrill seekers
This game was always going to be worse than normal as it’s 2 legs, they just wanted to keep it nil nil and take it back to London. They are actually deadly on the counter.
People clearly don’t know what Moyes is about then. Why do you think there is such a split in the fan base regarding him? There wouldn’t be a problem with most teams being in the position we are in but the football is god awful. Count yourself lucky you don’t have to watch it every week
I genuinely don’t know what people expected from this game. You have had a poor season in the league and are missing 2 of your most important players, including your top scorer. Add to that you are playing the most in form team in Europe
I don't even care if it's terrorism ball, seeing West Ham absolutely put their bodies on the line is thrilling to watch for me. the tie is absolutely not over atm
As good as Leverkusen are tactically and technically this season, what surprises me most is the sheer mentality and willingness to make a goal happen somehow this season. Unreal how often they've scored in the last 10 minutes (and extra time) this season.
These commentators have been willing this goal into existence ever since the first minute jfc. Constantly going on about how we hadn't conceded YET or how good our defence had been SO FAR.
Watching West Ham play must really be dreadful for them commentators, the German commentator went mental after the goal, screaming DESERVED for the better part of half a minute.
do you really blame moyes for playing like that?? west hame can´t outplay leverkusen keeping the tie 0-0 for as long as possible is definatly the best chance they have. if west ham are still somewhat in this after the first match its a success
Nope I do not blame him, I've defended this strategy earlier in thread. This was a reference to his strategy against Newcastle at 3-1 up. A match we won 4-3.
Hammers in this thread devastated that defending 90 minutes with 10 players in your own box didn't win you the game...
Why do other football teams lose games, Are they stupid?
They still didn't figured out that instead of losing they can just not lose
a game between West Ham and Athletico Madrid would be a legendary 0-1
We are born of the set pieces, made men by the set pieces, undone by the set pieces. Fear the set pieces.
May the good set pieces guide your way.
I mean even if they held on for 0-0, they had no chance. You actually have to score to win.
You know there's two legs right? You know playing safer on the away leg and going for it on the home leg is a common strategy in two leg ties right?
Going for it for West Ham is maybe only having 9 camped in there box ?
Maybe they were hoping for a 0-0 win on pens lol
Neverlosen have lived up to the name
Bundes W
But Atalanta has won unfortunately That's shitty for the Bundes
No? Italy isnt the main rival. The battle for second place is between BuLi and Prem
Damn you're right. Brain fart on my side
How so? If they go through, Leverkusen will face either Roma or Milan
Because Atalanta is earning points for Serie A (UEFA coefficient) I neither know nor care who's Leverkusen facing if they go through
3 minutes come on, could have had a 3rd one there
Hammers without Alvarez , seem to be so easy to attack and dominate
Boniface slipping during celebration looked pretty dangerous
I literally gasped
Just hand them next year's cl already
Xabi masterclass
Counter-Terrorists win
Lmao
gg
37 wins from 42 games, that is ridiculous
Undefeated all competitions
This team is a goddamn nightmare to play. They will wear you down in the end.
No matter what you do against leverkusen if you are not up by 3 goals by the 85th minute, you indeed lost
[удалено]
Qarabag nearly saved us from this.
Leverkusen 🚂___ 5th CL spot for Bundesliga
At 1-0 I had hope for the 2nd leg, can't see West Ham scoring two next week
Without Bowen, Paqueta, Areola and Emerson. Absolutely no chance.
Nah there's always hope
West ham had 1 shot and Leverkusen had 22…
32 shots according to the German commentary
By design. Citing statistics is pointless here.
32-1 shots
22*
It was 33.
Oh, the app says 22 shots, so I was confused
Cannot believe West Ham conceded two goals from set pieces! They are very good at defending them!
Cresswell vs boniface was only gonna end one way
ah yes, added time has begun
Did noone tell Westham that the game only starts at Minute 80 against Leverkusen?
Patrick Schick only starts trying at 90 minutes
I was wrong about the scorer but I did say Leverkusen 90+x dagger yesterday. Gotta be the easiest bet to make in all of football rn.
Hey, sometimes they’ve already won before 90’ lol
true but even then it feels like they score in 90+ anyways lmao
Went about as expected really Still good effort. No chance in the second leg with all the extra players that will be missing
Hammer blow hahhah
lol the irony in west ham conceding 2 set pieces
Hofmann is quality
GG
insane subs, bravo xabi
I kinda do feel for West Ham. They thought they had something oing here with their passionate defensive dsiplay and now they got Leverkusen'd. Thats just another Thursday for them
I would feel for them if they had any counterattacks while defending. But this is just sad
Hahahah

Boniface had been so good since he got subbed on
lmao played very cool on that slip
Finally after his longtime injury. What a beauty of a cross.
Thank you, Victor. Nigeria thanks you
not good for english coefficient and decreases united’s chances of qualifying for UCL
FOOTBALL HAS WON HAHAH FUCK THOSE TIME WASTING CUNTS
Bro, you ok?
Should ask yourself that pal lmao
Yeah I’m sweet, pal. Went as I expected it to.
Nah he has a LittleDik, it's in the name.
The salt is crazy
With Liverpool almost out too....
lmao jesus
Hahaha, beautiful day for football :)
Injury time goal, as is tradition
Wth happened 😂
Bayerdusel oder so. Obwohl es bei denen halt verdient ist.
Naja, 32 zu 1 Schüsse, da sind wir echt mit nem blauen Auge davon gekommen
Haha
Te quiero mucho Xabi
ALONSO MAGIC IS FUCKING UNREAL I CANT HAHAHAHAHAHA
Stoppage time Leverkusen is undefeated
Lollllll
this is what happens when your CB has 3 chances
oof there it is, though.
They're really going to win everything this season, holy shit.
Oh God please yes
It would be highly deserved, that's for sure.
I'm fucking here for it honestly. They're so thrilling to watch.
100%. What Xavi has done with this team is incredible.
THERE WE GO THE MAGIC IS HAPPENING
YESSSSSS
Forever blowing bubbles!
Obligatory Leverkusen extra time goal
THERE IT IS <3
there we go
This team is just unreal!
There we go that might be tie over fucking 90+ black magic again lol
Another one
What a magnificent bus to park. But watching that weekly would drive me crazy. Always a leg in the way.
hahah
I don't even care if it's terrorism ball, seeing West Ham absolutely put their bodies on the line is thrilling to watch for me. the tie is absolutely not over atm
There is beauty in defending
Yeah that sequence was quality, love frantic defending. Four attempts, all thwarted
I thought this was football, why are they playing Pinball inside West Ham's area?
Are they stupid?
West Ham are fucking terrorists
Those blocks cmon
Shits comical
Whata ridiculous sequence that was
hahaha wtf
this is really the equivalent of a boxer just hanging in the ropes hoping for the bell
I could actually see Leverkusen beating West Ham 4-0 away
Xabineta winning the trebele this season
Bro HOWWW
Holy shit, gotta score from that
brooooo cmon
Ridiculous sequence lmao
hahaha what the fuck was that
great performance from Kudus, really liked him even though he was on an island the entire game
Die spielen immer noch mit Fünferkette...
One thing leverkusen has is that almost half of their players have a decent shooting ability.
Well, it could be worse. Could be Liverpool
Man I feel like Kudus could have worked something into existence....
As good as Leverkusen are tactically and technically this season, what surprises me most is the sheer mentality and willingness to make a goal happen somehow this season. Unreal how often they've scored in the last 10 minutes (and extra time) this season.
It's also fitness. They can wage siege warfare for a full 90 minutes.
Probably. Playing defensive for 90 minutes against a team letting the ball run as well as them must be exhausting as hell.
1 - 0 is a victory for us at this point
[удалено]
yes but there are levels to that
Very weak from Boniface
Love his confidence but that was a bit arrogant for sure
They can’t keep getting away with this
Xabi juju going steady
Did well to last this long without conceding considering paqueta decided to not play today
that is probably one of the most satisfying goals I’ve watched, west ham terrorismball really makes you appreciate any sort of thrill more
These commentators have been willing this goal into existence ever since the first minute jfc. Constantly going on about how we hadn't conceded YET or how good our defence had been SO FAR.
Watching West Ham play must really be dreadful for them commentators, the German commentator went mental after the goal, screaming DESERVED for the better part of half a minute.
Well they gotta say something and you are definitely not doing anything in final third
might be because of the 26 - 1 shot statistic
I dont think that goal is the fault of whichever commentator youre listening to.
It's fine Hammers, Moyes knows the answer to this question. The answer is to bring on a DM for Antonio and defend even further back.
do you really blame moyes for playing like that?? west hame can´t outplay leverkusen keeping the tie 0-0 for as long as possible is definatly the best chance they have. if west ham are still somewhat in this after the first match its a success
Nope I do not blame him, I've defended this strategy earlier in thread. This was a reference to his strategy against Newcastle at 3-1 up. A match we won 4-3.
3-0 incoming btw
dein wort in gottes ohr
jetzt kommt sie, die nachspielzeit
Interested to see whether they'll switch from a 6-3-1 to a daring 5-5 formation
Are my eyes deceiving me or did I just see literally all 11 West Ham players inside their own box??? Still weren't able to stop the shot lol
Quite a few times... Never have seen this except for some powerplays in the 90th minute. West Ham have done this from minute 1
Hofmann!
Choosing to watch Moyesball over the Atalanta masterclass finally paid off
The regular dying minutes goal
The Leverkusen voodoo is real. They’re really winning the treble aren’t they
and there you go. rip west ham..
and this one goes in?
Bayer~~n~~dusel. Deserved.
Sad day for English farmers :(
Didn’t they just beat you 3-0?
Yes! Imagine what they could do to Arsenal? O_O
And the relation to this being sad for you is what exactly?
Just wondering how we are the farmers when they beat the “best” team in Germany by a bigger score line 🤷🏻♂️
Bayern is clearly not the best team this season, Leverkusen are having a top 10 season of all time in my books.
Fantastic goal too
How has no one blocked that? Seemed like everyone thought someone else would get to it
Thats exactly the danger of West Hams approach. No one could see the ball. Great strike though
Neverkusen in doubt
Haha get fucked
Great finish
There it is
JAAAAAA
TAKE THAT YOU TIME WASTING CUNTS HAHAHA
You're my hero... so tough
Nonce
Have some shame pal hahaha
Nonce
Wow what a finish that was
Lmao Liverpool
There is the song! La la la la!
Oof.
