Think it was @neesy111who pointed out pre-match that it's no good starting him in matches which seems to be spot on. He'll always be a decent option off the bench against tired legs with his pace & directness though. Anyway, he worked hard today & next game ASM will be back.

Seems like Toney is back for this. He was touch & go for today. Manager expects Eriksson to be involved as well. Still think we'll win. Players must be fired up for this after the 3-3 we should have won.

Are you saying we would play better with better players?

Don't think so either, but gives us a better chance to get past them

I liked how much he was looking around when he was running with the ball in that situation. He knew exactly where every player on the pitch were.

2-0 Southampton

Had a look at their line-up. No Dunk or Webster today. Still expected them to get something from this game but it kind of explains it.

wtf is going on with Brighton?

And if Steve Bruce was named Steve Blopp he'd gotten the Man Utd job after us.

Flashback of Diame and Merino.

Agree. Take out Bowen and Rice and they are closer to where we are now than a CL spot. That being said I think Moyes had an awful game plan today, especially when news came out that ASM was injured. It was criminal the amount of time they let us have on the ball in our own half. I'd be livid if the roles were reversed.

I fucking hope that is true. Love it.

Not much to say really. Scrappy half, lots of mis placed passes and grafting. No team looked like scoring.

Excellent result, well executed match & good work rate.

Surprised Joelinton is staying on ahead of Willock. He looks completely empty.

The stat is very flattering imo. West Ham has been happy to let us keep the ball in our own half, and we've been happy to keep the ball there. Kind of weird as you'd think West Ham should be desperate for a win.

Attack for our goal started by Krafth for all the miserable haters. He's not good enough, which is obviously why he's third choice now, but when called upon he is better at RB than playing someone else out of position or revamping a formation the rest of the team is comfortable with.

Sure dude

Norwich, Watford, Brighton, Wolves and Villa doesn't even have a third choice RB for starters. Burnley: Phil Bardsley Palace: Martin Kelly

He's far from the worst 3rd choice RB in the premier league.

Damn...things were going so well. Was an unneccessary foul to give.

It's intentional on our part it seems. We're happy to keep possession in our half if West Ham dont want the ball. They need a win more than us, happy with a draw.

West Ham playing as if they were away. No pressing in our half. Should just play cynical and keep the ball in our half to frustrate West Ham and their fans.
