Poor half, we look terrible on the ball and passing, don't have much control in the centre of the pitch with us seemingly just having 2 midfielders with Joelinton going much further forward. Improved nearing the end of the half at least, should improve for the second half. Incredible header from Burn mind, cannot remember seeing that curl on a header

Think we wanted the free kick there

Get Joelinton off as well man That is terrible.

Wait, Gordon was subbed with a hip injury at the weekend? We played him a few days late...and he's went off with a hip injury?

Poor from Gordon again, he cannot control the ball first time. He's chasing the ball 10 yards after every single touch.

Great ball in Barnes.

Substitute Gordon now.

Being too harsh on Gordon, he's passed to a teammate a few times, 50% pass success rate....Trippier with 42%

Fuck sake Gordon, 5 times given it away.

Holy fuck, what a header Dan Burn.

Cracking ball, run by Joelinton. Just offside.

We've started so poorly, cannot even pass to each other.

Joelinton man

Can we just get hold of the ball Every 2nd pass giving the ball away.

Ramsdale might be slightly worse on shot stopping but the ability on the ball will make a huge difference, even showed that when Dubravka came in last season. That little bit more control on the game without the keeper giving it straight back to the opposition.

To be fair, only showed up for about 30 seconds of it.

2060th page. Barely a post? They cannot all be from losses.

Don't even remember him trying it once It's like he knew AWB was quicker so he didn't even attempt it.

Poor again, never was worth £45m that we were first linked with him for, never mind the £55m. Not that he's helped confidence wise, being the 'last resort' sub after trying everything else.

To be fair, he's got real fucking good at it since his sending off last season.

Incredible for games against the 'big 6' or teams we need some fight in midfield. Terrible for games like this, we need someone creative.

Hall, Tino and Wissa coming back are not going to fix the problems we have this season. We have no creativity at all, we are terrible with the ball and struggle to keep the ball when teams actually come at us. When teams sit back and give us the possession, we then cannot do anything with it due to having no players to actually create.

Terrible from Howe, got every single thing wrong today. Shit himself at HT with 3 subs, terrible subs as well and it just kept getting worse and he didn't look like he could do anything to change it round. We have no creativity at all, we didn't create 1 good chance in that game.

Absolutely pathetic performance, worst in a long time.

Basically 2 assists for Pope today, for West Ham.
