[Blue Smoke]

We literally have no wingers, except an injured ndiaye, who can go past a man

 

[Mr PEN86]

Wasn't much of a sample size but liked the look of Chermiti x Broja up top. Beto has been dying for a rest. Doucs shouldn't start again in my eyes

 

[Mikey O]

A fair result and pleased for O'Brien - he's cemented that full back place

Flipping ell. Forgot about him

 

[maccavennie]

Tarkowskis defending on the West Ham goal…..Brantwaith wasnt great either. No England place for him playing on that level.

Harrison could have put a foot in and then yes Tarkowski and Branthwaite were poor.

Just an all round poor performance, same as against Wolves.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Desperate to get Ndiaye back just for some quality on one of the wings

With him back I think we have the luxury of dropping Doucoure. I’d also drop Beto for Broja as you can see he is better on the ball and makes clever runs.

 

[Lord Byron]

O’Brien man of match by a mile.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Forward players were woeful today, no idea why Alcaraz being pushed left to accommodate Doucoure who I cannot even remember doing a single good thing that game. Full backs crossing was awful as well. I can forgive O'Brien because he's not a natural full back but I swear teams are happy to see Mykolenko cross it cause they know its gonna be rubbish and overhit.

And yet obrien is our most effective full back and the only one willing to put a half decent ball in

 

[jonnyg]

How can people complain given it’s the longest unbeaten run since Koeman? West Ham had a bit more quality, but we worked hard and the subs made a difference.

Broja looked lively - certainly looks more of a footballer than Beto.

Game was ours to lose tbh, if teams can weather the 1st half against us we end up fading in the 2nd.

Momentum going into the derby is important so it's not the worst result.

Tarkowskis defending on the West Ham goal…..Brantwaith wasnt great either. No England place for him playing on that level.

I agree about the goal that Tarks and Branths just defended the area not seeing a player in acres of space but to say Branths doesn't deserve an England place must mean the ones chosen ahead of him must be perfect. Not the case

Strange game that not helped by the officiating. Up there with one of the worst refereeing performances and that's saying something. Linemen as bad too.
Starting lineup too unbalanced. Sick to the teeth of our wingers and Doucoure lazily smacking the ball off the player standing in front of them.
Our CB turned RB OBrien was our best crosser of the ball into the box which says alot.
Good never say die attitude though. Broja and Chermiti and Tim lively when they came on.
Deserved result in the end.

 

[Mr PEN86]

It’s the RS next mate, odds on Moyes will start Doucoure.

I'm not actually mad at Doucs starting that purely to get that Doucoure v Jones 2 on

 

[jaycee]

Firstly thought the ref was horrific, the first 45 minutes lots of industry but didn't really create anything, 2nd half poor defending for the hammers goal and you could see it coming, the players we expect a bit of spark from tended to float around the edges of the game, free kicks and corners were rather poor, feel a draw was just about deserved

 

[Vintage]

Needs to pull his finger out with his subs

To be fair he was trying to get Lindstrom on before their goal which came down that side. Just the ball didn't go dead for an age
