****ing 90th minute though!!

Scum, Liverpool, Everton all on 13 points - joint top - West Ham 11 points 7th

At least Burnley and Newcastle only managed a single point each from winnng positions

It won't because it's having a trial as Bielsa is considering playing it instead of Donkey Roberts next week. Oh wait, that was just wishful thinking.

V good in the circumstances.

West Ham have a much better squad and are two or three seasons ahead of us.

Didn’t expect anything out of the game but we almost got something.

A small squad made thinner by injuries was always going to struggle - need at least 2 wins out of the next 4 games all of which are much more winnable.

We were better team in the 1st half. Firpo is a liability. His errors resulted in 2 goals. Yes. 2nd goal he didn't track back fast enough. Didn't apply a tackle, challenge, nothing. Look at it again, he's jogging back, which cannot happen with the system we play. I feel sick because we played well, much better than in previous games. The worst thing is we don't have a quality left back do we?

No, we don't.

I don't think I have EVER seen him make a tackle. There had to be a reason that Barcelona let him go and now we all know what that is.

Thought we might hang on for a point, sadly WHams extra bit of class etc was the difference.
Squad is totally knackered by injuries, looks like Raph may also join them, but Cresswell was a huge positive today & Mellier also did ok.
As for Roberts, complete waste of space, we needed Greenwood or Gelhardt, some energy / drive and bit of determination.

Will watch through my fingers tonight.

Sure McCarron has been playing LB in the reserves. At least we have players to come
Back - Struijk clear to play and sounds like Llorente and Ayling close to being back.

Not sure about Bamf.
