Fantastic video having Tony on, love listening to him. I had him on a stadium tour and loved every minute of it. Keep up the amazing work Geo and the gang
7:54: Antonio was on the pitch with a midfield of Rodriguez, Souceck and Alvarez. Bowen, who I agree did do well, was playing up front with the additional attacking impetus of Summerville and Paqueta.
Also, my stream didnt start until about 10 minutes in, but when it did get going, and for large spells of the first half, Antonio was playing RW. Not quite understanding this manager. ALOT of red flags I've seen from preseason to present day. I'm not convinced by him in the slightest, if I'm honest..
17:17 "I support Chelsea" "Rrrrgh...well, alright." We wouldve never had this lovely man Geo doing great interviews and breakdowns. Shout out to the folks! COYI ⚒️ (down with Chelsea rrrgh)
Totally agree with whu legend gale. Knows whu inside out. As he says we have to give juluen at least another 6 games. I fancy something against Chelsea I team selection is correct
Paqueta is a luxury who will give you nightmares occasionally, but the goal against City was down to a poor pass to him from Emerson. God knows why Antonio is still starting.
Nice spot from Gale. The throw from Coufal to Bowen is something they have worked out. Used it twice in the conference league run. Once away to Gent and of course for the penalty in the final. Bowen had gone on record as saying they have worked that out between them I think in the modern game players don't talk to each other as much as in times past. Social media and headphones play a role but the language barrier from having so many nationalities in the dressing room is a factor. If the team is going to progress it will require that the players work some things out between them.
With the new rules whether he’s offside or not we know the play continues until the flags gone up so you need to put a tackle in assuming he’s onside you don’t need to plea anymore var will sort it out
I agree about we don’t need two holding mids certainly not against teams on or below our level against city I get it … for me I would use Soler,paqman and Alvarez as midfield against Chelsea
Totally agree. Man Cities midfield against us; Kovacic, De Brunye, Silva (not one identifiable DM).. Man United's midfield against Southampton; Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and Mainoo (not one identifiable DM as I'd argue Mainoo is an 8). They are playing zero DMs and were playing 3.
Effectively we have taken a point from each of the first 4 league games. 4 points in 4 games isn't bad given our opposition plus the new team bedding in, and the unusual tactics/team selection.
You know Moyes spent three years training this club and every player to defend with low block, with no possession. We will have to give him time, to incorporate a new system. His formation 4-3-3 limits kudos. We haven’t played keep ball for years, l firmly believe we will click COYI
Fulham were not just "the better side" as said by Tone, they are a better side with a much better manager in Silva. 😢😢😢 I predicted a 3 - 1 to Fulham became Silva trusts the style of his ball creative team.
The manager spotted by half time what 10s of thousands of supporters knew when they saw the line up ! No credit for changing it, it’s not like it’s the first time even in such a short tenure. At the moment he comes across as a big clueless
Tony, big Michail Antonio fan here, mate. What service are you expecting as a CF with a midfield of Rodriguez, Souceck and Alvarez? Every time in defense of the likes of Fulkrug, I hear fans saying he hasn't been on the pitch the same time as our creative players OR he needs service. I consistently heard the same for Scamacca and even more recently, Ings. I'm not being silly, but you couldn't possibly get a less creative midfield than Rodriguez, Souceck and Alvarez My strongest team is Areola (GK) AWB (RB) Mavropanos/Todibo (RCB) Kilman (LCB) Emerson (LB) Alvarez (RCDM) Paqueta (LCM) Kudus (CAM) Summerville (LW) Bowen (RW) Antonio (CF) People will make the argument of 'lack of service' for every striker that has ever played for the club bar Antonio, but can't conjure up any defense for a CF who played ahead of a midfield of Rodriguez, Souceck and Alvarez following playing 180 odd minutes for his country over the course of 4 days, the week prior. Or is it only the likes of Scamacca, Ings and Fulkrug that the argument "they need service" stands? Thanks
@@stephenplaistowe8657 The whole team have been garbage this season.. because of Lopetegui. And what I said still stands... Haller.. Style of play/ Service. Scamacca. Style of play/ Service. Ings.. Style of play/ Service. Fulk.. Style of play/ Service. Antonio.... Never hear the same defense. Bearing in mind on Saturday we had the least creative midfield I have EVER seen in my life as a West Ham fan. Literally, ever. and Antonio come away from doing 180 minutes with Jamaica in the week. But Oh well. Our fan base are thick anyway. There are dumbasses feeling validated for backing Danny Ings after approaching a 2 year goal drought because of a 95th minute goal against Fulham. 99% of our fan base a genuinely clueless. Like I said, we've been garbage since preseason anyway. I have no faith in Lopetegui whatsoever right now.
As someone who didnt rate him anywhere near as highly as alot of this fan base... so do I. Not impressed with Soler. Think JWP has a better engine and is more intelligent off the ball. Dont think sending Aguerd on loan was a great idea either.
@@audialiastt2601 Was watching something last night.. The Dorking Manager.. not sure if you've heard of him, Marc White. He started his team from literally scratch and shot up like 4 leagues in 5 seasons, when he explained how, he basically said, objective 1, get all the money together available and buy the best CF in the league.. "your only as good as your striker". We'd be on cloud 9 already if we signed Duran in the summer, I'm telling you. 9 points on the board, I reckon. I want the board to try and address that again in the summer. Tall, powerful, pacey, goal scorer. If they don't tick all those boxes then they aint our man. Wouldn't be opposed to moving Fulk on in the summer, if im honest. Even at a loss. Wrong profile for me. I need my CF's making opposition CB's worried about playing too high in fear of one ball over the top. It effects the whole game.
I'll be honest I can't stand galeys commentary. It's just complaint after complaint. Like listening to my Nan talk about her ailments. He's so anti west ham
Love Galey. Didn't see him play but he's always been my favourite commentator... since the days of Capital Gold 📻
Shame he was such a Moyes apologist
Great to see Tony - my favourtite commentator by far!
I’m old enough to have seen Tony Gale; very good player. crimminal he got sent off in the FA Cup semi final
I am not but I can comment on him these days and he’s a gentleman
Watched the game Saturday where Tony was commentating, really got things right.
Good man Galey saw him play many times in the 80’s and met him a few times in Billericay he’s a funny man and knows he’s football ⚽️⚒️⚒️
Fantastic video having Tony on, love listening to him. I had him on a stadium tour and loved every minute of it. Keep up the amazing work Geo and the gang
Great show GEO always good to hear from Tony gale . ⚒⚒⚒⚒ COYI👍
Thanks Adam
Tony's great always like him as a co commentator on tv along with Don Hutchison.
Likewise, both are brilliant!
Great comments from Tony, Geo, great interview!
Great to the point interview
Thanks mate!

Tony must have good media training. I couldn't do this kind of thing without using the word... garbage!

Still been poor.
And he is supposed to of watched us months prior, no? Not been impressed so far. I've seen so many red flags since pre season, I've lost count.
Great player,underrated
Evening Stel and everyone surely Loppi must know now without a shadow of a doubt he can't start that line up again he baffles me sometimes.
Who’s Stel 😂
Edit: I know who Stel is but think you’re on the wrong channel mate
@@HammersChat don't know what happened there my phone has a mind of it's own🤣
I was glad to see Soler get on the pitch I can see him being a hit for the Hammers
Even though we've hardly seen him yet, I suspect that Todibo is a much better bet than Mavropanos
You know Moyes spent three years training this club and every player to defend with low block, with no possession. We will have to give him time, to incorporate a new system. His formation 4-3-3 limits kudos. We haven’t played keep ball for years, l firmly believe we will click COYI
Coufal and Bowen work well together, shame he doesn’t have the pace
The tactics weren’t right in the 1st half but were in the 2nd & resulted in the draw. We’re just as good as Fulham the second half showed that.
COYI
Lopetegui is fantastic at selling himself and verbally winning the crowd but it does NOT do what it said on da tin.
You should have asked him how he knows that Coufal and Soucek are the first in and last out of training.
😂 tbf he still has a lot of handy contacts at the club!
Still part of the boys club I think, swear I see him at the Celta Vigo game before the season
Cannot put full blame on Dinos. Where was awb?
Geo, does "being patient" mean we r prepared to throw away points? 😢😢
I mean did paqueta even do anything more than Soucek.... Not really
He’s a whole week now to prepare the team for the Chelsea game choose the strongest team ⚒️
Fulham were not just "the better side" as said by Tone, they are a better side with a much better manager in Silva. 😢😢😢 I predicted a 3 - 1 to Fulham became Silva trusts the style of his ball creative team.

My strongest team is
Areola (GK)
AWB (RB)
Mavropanos/Todibo (RCB)
Kilman (LCB)
Emerson (LB)
Alvarez (RCDM)
Paqueta (LCM)
Kudus (CAM)
Summerville (LW)
Bowen (RW)
Antonio (CF)
People will make the argument of 'lack of service' for every striker that has ever played for the club bar Antonio, but can't conjure up any defense for a CF who played ahead of a midfield of Rodriguez, Souceck and Alvarez following playing 180 odd minutes for his country over the course of 4 days, the week prior.
Or is it only the likes of Scamacca, Ings and Fulkrug that the argument "they need service" stands?

When he does get a pass he doesn't control it. Shite and done. So far this season done nothing
@@stephenplaistowe8657 The whole team have been garbage this season.. because of Lopetegui.

@@stephenplaistowe8657 But I do agree, he has been poor this season. But my preferred 11 remains the same and he's still in it.
Still think we should have kept JWP
As someone who didnt rate him anywhere near as highly as alot of this fan base... so do I. Not impressed with Soler. Think JWP has a better engine and is more intelligent off the ball.
Dont think sending Aguerd on loan was a great idea either.
I hope Tony realise the VERY LAST THING Lopetegui will do is "take a few risks & take da game to Chelsea"! He could again start Anto9& Soucek. 😂😂
Antonio still starts for meeee. He wouldnt if we signed Duran, but we didnt, so he does.
@@damiandamico4715 spot on. We are limited and abject up top. Very POOR recruitment decision in that department.

We are crap under Loppy Bollocks and I really cannot see any improvement any time soon. I honestly think that we will be soundly beaten by Chelsea 3-0
Fulham weren't better, what did they do, nothing.
Fuckin logi. as manager. just poor. if we get top ten i will be over the moon.
I'm gonna be patient but at the moment Lopetegui has been poor.
I'll be honest I can't stand galeys commentary. It's just complaint after complaint. Like listening to my Nan talk about her ailments. He's so anti west ham
Gale gives me ire when he is commentating
