You could see why he came out that far, he just got done by the touch which left him stranded.

The timing of Wilson coming on was bizarre and made absolutely no difference to the team, he should have either come on earlier when we were pushing for a goal or not at all. 2 points dropped.

The wall shuffling forward about a yard.?

Tonali playing much better this half.

Beautiful ball by Trippier.

West Ham have not tried to go forward so it will be hard for them to build momentum now. We can win this.

Great goal.

West Ham sitting back and we can’t break them down. We haven’t even had a shot on target yet.

Tonali one of our best players?

It’s not even being the thread police, the only thing that happens when posting in an individual players thread mid game to criticise is that players become scapegoats.

Good shout with Hall coming on for Burn, that extra threat down the left would help.

All of this could go in the match day thread.

I would take Longstaff off and bring Wilson on, we need to shake up the midfield.

Where was the midfield then? They are finding space in the hole and our midfield is nowhere to be seen.

We are being completely dominated in midfield, bringing on Wilson and putting Isak wide left isn’t going to change that.

Bruno lucky to still be on the field.

Shame as we had started brightly up until that point.

Is Miley injured? Four fullbacks on the bench.?

West Ham are a mid table team, any team with Champions League aspirations should be expecting to win away to them.

Liverpool and Man City would push one of their wide players up top, which is what we would do with Gordon, rather than having a third choice striker exclusively for that position. It would make more sense to buy a right sided attacking player that can play up top if needed.

Like saying there isn’t anything racist about preferring white male commentators to black male commentators.

He is going to take teams apart coming off the bench in the early weeks of his return, tired players won’t be able to live with his pace and energy.

It reminds me of when Sir Bobby said to Lee Bowyer something along the lines of it didn’t matter how well he plays as Kieron Dyer would always be first choice when fit. It isn’t the best example of man management. If anything Lascelles performances have shown that Howe can look at resting Schar or Botman occasionally against the weaker teams rather than trying to roll them out as a partnership for 50+ games this season.

Him not being likeable to opposition fans played a part but there was a lot of people who felt we overpaid for him and that he had not showed anything to justify the fee.

Most people on here thought they had robbed us at the time too to be fair.
