@play_eFootball What a surprise it's not ML. 4 years for this shite! By introducing smart assist and auto-shielding, it's clear the focus lies in an automated mobile game. Give console users a PES style ML as DLC. If it can't be done as EF is a mobile-first coded port, then say so FFS.

A new eFootball™ CONNECT broadcast is coming soon 📺 In this episode, we’ll bring you the latest information on v5.4.0, including gameplay adjustments in the attacking and defensive sectors. We’ll also cover details on the limited-time event “Master League Sprint.” The broadcast date and time will be announced once it has been confirmed. #eFootball

@panchayatx @David_Ornstein @lauriewhitwell @AdamCrafton_ @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC Playing under a better manager, in a better European competition and a team above Man Utd isn't a downgrade. It'll be a financial downgrade for him as nobody is stupid enough to pay him £300k a week. Though he's probably sick of getting soaked sat under the leaky roof each week.

Wow, Rashford to Villa? That's a downgrade if I've ever seen one. Man Utd must be really desperate to offload him if they're considering this. And Emery personally requesting him? Talk about a fall from grace. This move makes no sense unless Rashford's just looking for a comfy bench to sit on.

🚨 Aston Villa considering move to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Man Utd. 27yo preference Barcelona or #MUFC stay so would need convincing but #AVFC in talks on personal request of Unai Emery. By @lauriewhitwell @AdamCrafton_ @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/60464…

@HammersUnited2 I agree. Especially his ability to get transfers over the line. I can imagine he's far more professional to deal with than Sullivan. Guilherme is an odd one though. A club with our budget can't spunk £25m on a kid not ready in a position we had Bowen and Kudus in.

The propaganda onslaught against Tim Steidten from the actual club is to be expected, but it’s astonishing. We bought some great potential and yet hired a manager with very little actual winning experience. A manager Steidten argued against. Now it’s all Steidten’s fault.

@wonderofscience What a way to wow your guests when you offer them a cup of boiled water. 😂

These tea cups use thermochromic pigments with molecules that rearrange when heated. As you pour hot water the design transforms from bare branches to blooming cherry blossoms.

@MartynHobbs12 The same people who say "All I want is a player who gives 100% and puts in a shift every week" are the same who wanted him sold because they favoured Paqueta and Kudus, our two biggest sulkers!

Soucek optimises what we class as the “West Ham Way” The shit he’s got over the years is unfair ⚒️ Loves the club ⚒️ Runs through walls ⚒️ Stops for all fans ⚒️ Leader ⚒️ Goal scorer What a bloke 👏🏻

@DFCRiver St Louis II in Monaco. Had a decent wallpaper background in Championship Manager 3 I think it was.

@danroan One of our oppo punched ours 4x, which lead to the referee abandoning the game. The player had previous form, karate kicking 2 teammates in a pre-season friendly 2 years prior at a different club. For violent conduct and causing an abandonment, the AFA handed him a 3 match ban.🤷‍♂️

@UKCopHumour Must have been an undercutter cop.

Not all heroes wear capes... but this one does! Can we take a moment to applaud this fella, mid-haircut - but dashing out to aid a copper with a violent criminal? Not enough people like you around! 💙

@UberWestHam It was always a doubled sword. Those who were Moyes out were aware that they would have to entrust Sullivan to find his replacement, which was always my biggest concern. Sack Lopetegui and we're back to square one, scouring out of work managers in Salthouses phonebook.

Lopetegui has been awful, but I’m so bored of seeing people bring up Moyes in a “told you so” sense. We were awful last year too - don’t have a short term memory because things still ain’t good. It was time for him to move on, we’ve just sadly made the wrong choice in replacing him.

@atommcguire @jackelderton Counter attacking only works if you can effectively defend your box, and for the last 6 months of Moyes reign, we couldn't.

@jackelderton prem teams are clearly favouring a counter attacking style now, so why on earth did we appoint him in the first place? Fact that we sacked a fantastic counter attacking manager is beyond questionable.

Julen Lopetegui has overseen a completely inexcusable comprehensive destruction of almost everything that was good about this football team (which was already on the slide). All for a few extra passes between the centre-backs. Enough now. How much more evidence do you need?

@RootesPaul @WHUFCFZ Who, David Moyes? 😂

@WHUFCFZ We need a different manager why not go for the ex Manchester United manager

No effort, no discipline, no idea. I think that pretty much sums up West Ham United under Julen Lopetegui.

@MartynHobbs12 Comes down to not respecting the manager imo. Alvarez has now picked up 6 yellows and 2 reds in 540 mins of football, less than 6 games worth ffs. 🫣 Chuck in not getting a tune out of Paqueta and Kudus HT bust-up + red card and pending 5-6 game ban, something's not right.

I knew that was coming , why does he do it

@WestHam Andy Macqueta.

Irving has received his first senior call-up for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Congratulations, Andy 👏

@Whu_Centre Either way, it's fair to say that with Soucek having 2g,2a to Bowen's 2g,1a, Paqueta's 1 pen, and Kudus on 0g,0a that Lopetegui is really struggling to get a tune out of our attacking players.

@Whu_Centre Or perhaps Bowen and Kudus aren't suited to possession football, and are at their best playing direct with more space for successful take-ons. Paqueta was at his best for us playing on the left midfield and drifting inside allowing Emerson to link up. They get each others game.

@TheLawless Lopeteguis style is slow build up! Bowen and Kudus play very direct exploiting space, which is why they were effective on the counter and go missing when we build up slower and allow oppo to regain their shape. Doesn't help he can't get a tune out of Kudus and Paqueta.

I still back Lopetegui but he's starting to test my patience. The slow build up today was brutal. We have to beat Ipswich convincingly next week. No excuses! My Brentford 1-1 West Ham Match Reaction Watch Here: youtu.be/bMEdoURdtPAhtt…
