If Zola Deserves The Sack, Then So Does Hughes | The West Ham Process — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 00:20:09 +0000

[...] I was very disappointed with a recent article and a few forum posts suggesting that Zola deserves the sack and that maybe Steve Clark should take over. I am not going to go on about my reasons why as for the minute I think I have sufficiently covered them in a couple of my recent posts (The Sack For Zola? and Arsenal Match Report ). [...]

if that was handball i’ll chew my feet off.

The shouting handball everytime the ball goes in the box is just a joke…we tend to do it if the away fans shout handball a lot, purely out of sarcasm.

You certainly played well, but enough about the three man midfield. It was a 4-5-1 and Cole was mostly isolated – when he did win headers they fell neatly to the Arsenal defence.

West Ham looked like the away team for most of the game, not usual against Arsenal’s movement, but they really didn’t create very much at all.

I thought you guys played great. Some very Arsenal like passing and ball control. Zola has you on the right track, just believe, all will be well

There were some positives to take out of the game against Arsenal and it was good to see us keeping the ball on the ground and starting to play some good attacking football.We definitely need a strong attacking midfielder to play alongside Parker and need another option than Cole who in my opinion cannot control a ball and cannot score enough goals to make him the striker we need.On a different note I thought the officials for the game were sub-standard especially Phil Dowd who again demonstrated his incompetence once more – It’s about time the Premiership put a stop to amateurs officiating in a professional sport and made them accountable for their actions or lack of.

Agree with all your comments. I know we lost but it wasnt a thrashing and I think the team are playing more as a unit. Parker was on top form his pass to release Bellamy was pure class.I also think Zola got the squad and tacticts pretty spot on.I do agree that Faubert is not a good enough defender to play right back and that we are missing Ashton but I reckon if Tristan finds some form him and Bellamy will work well together.I think we should all keep our faith in Zola and things will come right!!COYI!!
