Failed in Wales

Cardiff City 2 West Ham 0

Typical West Ham… Another poor defeat on the road for the consistently inconsistent Hammers. Admittedly a game against a team that had to win to maintain a realistic chance of staying up was a difficult fixture, but just for once it would be nice if West Ham could not roll over or be just the sort of mid-table opponent strugglers like to play against. 

Goals at the start of either half sealed the defeat and the marking for the first was non-existent. Niasse should have added to Cardiff's total. Rice hit the post and Arnautovic had a shot saved but that was all too late. As Pellegrini said, not scoring a goal in open play for six away games is not acceptable. He needs to shuffle his players. There must surely be case for playing Arnautovic, Antonio, Nasri and Balbuena from the start in the next game against Huddersfield. Surely WHU can't blow it against bottom of the table no-hopers? Or can we?

Yes we can. I thought a 1-0 to Cardiff as the players think we're safe. As you say typical West Ham. Doesn't seem to matter who the manager, staff, players are it's still typical West Ham, how do we do it?

Other teams seem to push on when they reach safety - not us!
