Get in! Thanks West Ham!

Thought he was electric for the first 20 mins, but got a bit sloppy as the game wore on. Still I guess that's just the nature of the beast, no player of that type can be fantastic for 90 mins. He did enough to get us 2-0, I think if we don't win from here it's not going to be down to him.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Some genuine swagger from Bruno and Maxi early on, but some players did look like a level below on the ball. Murphy for me started playing too safely, even Joelinton had a couple of poor touches, but he was good mostly.

Feels like we were cruising, then when West Ham upped their game we got knocked out of our stride. We should have controlled the ball better in that situation but got a bit panicky.

There was a point at 2-0 where Wilson should have made it 3 and the finish was half hearted. Since then we seem to have switched off and allowed West ham to boss the pitch. Not good enough.

Murphy has suddenly started passing backwards and sideways, not the time to start looking for safe options.

Not sure what's happened but our midfield is suddenly getting swamped.

Think Pope will be losing his England slot soon. Too many errors leading directly to goals.

We are taking them to the cleaners here.

Nowt more than we've deserved, we have been majestic so far.

It's a goal

Looks onside that.

Maxi has got them shitting their pants here.

Always love it when our fans write off one of our modern heroes too early.

Fabulous work from ASM

So should I.

Someone said in the managers thread that West Ham would be perfect for Brendan Rogers. Have to agree with that, think he would get more out of that squad.

I think he'll come on pretty early in the second half if Wilson isn't having much impact. It's just about rotation during a hectic period of games.

Feels like a clueless American decision made by someone who doesn't really know much about football and is taking a blind punt bringing a former fans favourite onboard to get them onside. Feels very Mike Ashley.

Wilson is hardly a player who is a weak option. It was always likely we'd be using our squad to rotate during a packed schedule over Easter. Joelinton coming in is hardly cause for disappointment either. These have been our best players at various points over the last 12 months.

What a player to come off the bench.

Jesus fucking Christ.

If we assume Man U are going to finish top four, then I would say Spurs have to be our biggest rivals simply because they are the ones who are still in touch points-wise, Liverpool are a long way behind so at least we have a very nice cushion there.

Just wondering, how would you argue when refs give some plain disgusting decisions if you weren't allowed to protest it? I'm not suggesting pushing or shoving, but some of the decisions make your blood boil as a spectator, can't imagine how it would feel to get jipped by a bent ref in the white hot atmosphere of a PL match.
