We was down to 10 men mate! Can't you see that! Put someone else in midfield and keep it tight for the final part of the game. It's a ridiculous sub. It's not like this has ever happened before..... Oh wait!

Mirallas didn't cost us the game at all, we went 2 up after he was sent off
He's the unluckiest man that has ever lived.
He has to take a large share of the blame pal.
He has not got a clue how to defend a lead

And we were a man down to defend the last 15 as well
A lot of that is true. He set us up right, Mirallas let him down badly, and the first sub was the correct call.
But it was his game management under the cosh at critical points that has let him down regularly over the last two seasons, and this was a crystal clear example of it.
He seems to know what to do if he's given time to think about it, but can't react and find a Plan B to deal with something happening dynamically in front of him.
Again, I'm ware of going into detail like that and using terms like "game management" as the "oh look at the FM player" counter-argument will inevitably be fired at me, but in all honesty I think his lack of management skill in-game is so bad that most people in the crowd today could have handled the substitutions and balance of the side better in that second half. It's not just a bit of a weakness anymore; it's basically a crippling lack of ability to manage a team at this level.

@davek isnt this where you make your money? @chicoazul is all over the place here and needs a completely unrealistic ideologue to get behind. Come and tell us all again how this was football 'touched by the gods'

Please check with me for Blammo criteria
Wrong, we looked like the team we could be
When the final whistle went, we saw the team that we are.
A team that lets slack-jawed east London bell expulsions do this
All of them have plenty of room to improve in this area mate yes.

Yeah he did, didn't he; even though after he went off we controlled the game, scored another, got a pen and had numerous opportunities to kill the game off.
Shock horror, we fell to bits when the manager takes off our winger, puts another striker on, leaves our fullbacks totally exposed and West Ham score three goals from the left, the same side that was exposed with Lennon being taken off.
Yeah, all Kevs fault

Still should have seen it out.
We have a very good set of players who would play good football regardless of whether me and you manage them, the manager has got to add value to the squad and right now you can't say he's doing that.
