Still frustrated how many of our corners result in them running at our goal

Schar come on lol

Get in!

Stupid foul leads to goal, always seems to happen

bollocks

Kraft on yellow for rest of game is worrying

We will get a gift if we keep the high press up they look shakey there

He's made a huge difference, I think we're going to be ok but no use pretending it's not a big blow.

Just unbelievably typical. Fingers crossed still hope the itks all wrong

Bit of a free hit. We always seem to have bonkers games with west ham so dunno but shouldn't underestimate them

Cant believed he was benched in favour of Clark so often. His contract is up isn't it, has there been any talk of an extension? I kinda think he'll want to go elsewhere if Botman and Carlos and who knows all come in probably lose his place anyway but still would be nice to have his quality in squad

I'm at about a 4 too, as I think we are now not among any favourites for the drop mind. But 4/10 still scary.

'Pretty much safe' is an exaggeration. If we keep accumulating points at teh rate we are we should be fine. But if Trippier is out for a length of time we're still finding it difficult to score and teams below are not a million miles behind yet.

I think sometimes how 'pessimistic' or 'optimistic' someone is goes to how they manage their emotions as a fan. I tend to assume the worst, will be wrong half the time but then prefer to be pleasantly surprised. Some people are optimistic, will be wrong half the time and enjoy the optimistic outlook and deal with the failure. Fair enough. I don't think i've ever gone on a cynical warpath and i don't really mean to be negative so do apologise if have annoyed you somehow. I am not going to apologise for trying to keep my feet on the ground though.

As i've said not long ago he's doing a fine job and looking forward to how he takes us forward. We are not safe yet, and even if we win every game i am not going to apologise for reasonable doubts on him. I have always liked him as a good progressive manager who tries to play football the right way. My doubts are probably no more than doubts over if any manager can overcome the basketcase this club was before the new owners came in. There is a lot to turn around and very well done for Howe to seem to be getting over it. But we are not safe yet. Even if we went down I may conclude not much more Howe could do. I just am not calling him the second coming of Keegan yet.

Better not be out for long

Get in! Even I will start believing we can stay up now

at this rate we could win this game and it get us relegated with the number of injuries

asm injured too?

ffs Trippier injured

Trouble is coutinho is the sort to do nothing all match then curl one in from outside the box out of nowhere, still think they'll score

ffs Wood

I think done are getting a little over excited on here lol he's doing a fine job at the moment seems smart and getting must things right but we're not safe yet.

I fear a bit of a return to earth loss at this point but i am very pessimistic person

Possibly, fear it will make us look daft though. I also kinda think these transfers seem to be negotiated over months if not years beforehand cheeky bids unlikely to happen. Fairly sure Mbappe to Real Madrid is a done deal already isnt it?
