A typical performance from a team who have a cup final the next game. 

We must have been playing quite a few finals this season.

It's criminal how one footed most footballers are. 

Pope is non-footed, oh for one foot!

1-0 loss Soucek header anybody?

Everyone.

Tino has looked a bit lost at LB. Maybe bring on the eczema sufferer instead.

[Lush Vlad]

Not much point attacking the space with the ball, anyway. He’s up against one of the best one on one defenders in the league/world.

One thing I’ll back Tino, the times he has had it on left, there’s nothing there if he does knock and run. There’s no support from LCM, Barnes stays deep. So what’s the point?

 

He went wide couple of times early on 2nd half and tried to cross, but the box is empty bar Isak.

 

 

He's playing badly going forward, but at least he's showed up. More than you can say for Murphy who has hid for 45 mins.

Must be the most right footed side I've ever seen 

That’s what happens when you remove Almirons 3 left feet from the average

Our passing has been fine up until the final action.

Think we've been the better side tbf, not moving the ball quick enough though and trying to get the ball in the perfect position for a shot. Pick up the tempo and take the early shot and we'll win this. West Ham have defended well when they've needed to but they've been poor overall, this game is there to be won.

Spot on.  We are by far the better team but look very flakey at the back.

[David Edgar]

Our possession play is woeful. West Ham have their feet up defending against us. 

 

They'll nick one on the counter.

[Aiston]

Tino's been mostly fine, he just isn't really creative which is disappointing something like that hasn't seemed to be worked on.

[Oregon_Geordie]

Russel Martin analysis of a 0-0....comedy gold.

[KennyUtd]

That miss from Soucek gets worse every time I see it. Shocking, thank fuck.

Tino has been a real disappointment this season. I feel he has regressed significantly. 

 

Right now I rather have Targett, who will actually make the runs with real intent and then cross the ball. Rather than whatever attack killing movie Tino makes. 

 

I hope Osula comes in for Murphy

He's been fine just not a natural left back. I would of actually started Targett soon as hall was out for the season. He's our best bet when he's fit.

The tempo has been too slow, allowing West Ham to get players back even when we are in behind them.

Bit worrying considering he's played about 4 games worth of minutes in 3 years

Its like he’s not expecting to have to create something when played forward by Barnes.

[Steve Charlton]

All predictable and slow,Would love to see a Joelinton driving run through midfield

Dreadful game. We are painfully slow in possession most of the while, passes often too late or behind the man. Then we get near the box and rush it. Maddening. 
 

They’ve been crap and we have actually controlled large spells of that half. Yet they’ve had the better chances. 
 

Bit of a worry that Burn and Schar has gone from a solid, reliable pairing to a bit of a disaster in a short space of time. They just seem so nervy at times and not sure whether to attack the ball, drop off or jockey the man. That said, they are up against two very good players and they’ve not had many chances. 

We've had the better chances Barnes twice was only denied by areola.
