Healey- Pauls take a bow. Like watching Rocky!

Painful to watch at times. Clueless set up leading to such wasteful distribution. Garbage but a win is a win.

His footballing brain is superb. He can visualize the pass a team will make (particularly the top teams where tactics are perhaps less spontaneous) and can intercept and break up play very effectively. However, against teams that like to run the ball he simply can't keep up with the pace is a...

Good job we got those two goals so early. Such a poor performance. People talk about us being a top 4 contender but we have been very lucky to win some of the games we have recently. The tide will turn on this. Some bright moments of course but so poor seeing this game out considering the first...

Solid shape but unspectacular. Both teams short of quality. West Ham have had more of the ball and opportunities but they haven't really troubled us. We have been the same. The one moment where shape was lost for them was the goal. I can't see West Ham having such a lack of intensity in the...

He's a washed up has-been with a miserable attitude that affects his players. Went from a Champions League winning manager, to a Europa League winning manager to a Conference League winner. Been on the wane for a long time now.

Been said a lot when our turning point will come. I've never been convinced but we have seen a desire to win today I haven't seen all season. We pressed like demons that second half. We are prone to mistakes but this shows we can overcome them if we have to desire and resilience to want to...

Superb second half. We finally showed desire to win from each and every player and saw the game out. Hats off to Fernandes who led from the front the whole game. Hopefully we can show that desire for the rest of the season.

Think we have played reasonably well. Some neat play when passing the ball. West Ham seem like they've finished for Christmas which has given us more room. Feel Antony has been quite good when coming centrally. It offers us an extra man to get the ball into the final third. We have just been to...

Just devoid of any style or structure. Even if we scored we will concede at least three (if we are lucky. ) Depressing.

Trying to be positive I think we have been more focussed compared to against Newcastle. Fernandes and Dalot particularly looking better. I feel McTominay has been our stand out performer so far. Playing well linking up with Garnacho and defending ably as well. Unfortunately, the same issues...

Absolutely. I'd be bolder and go for a 3-5-1-1. Push Wan Bissaka and Reguilon/Dalot into midfield alongside Eriksen, Bruno and Amrabat with Mount playing off Hojlund. Off the ball we can put 5 at the back and on the ball we can push Dalot and Wan Bissaka forward with Bruno whilst keeping...

Why do we persist with a 4-2-3-1? Seems like we are fearful of dropping our wingers despite the fact they are largely ineffective and our midfield is largely overrun. I don't see a positive result today. Hope I'm wrong.

This team are insufferable. ETH will come for a lot of flak but I don't see how he is at fault when for the first ten minutes we looked like a team that knew their roles, played decent passes and troubled them with the press. Hannibal gets booked and we go to our default Primary school...

I think ETH is trying to change things with personnel but is stubbornly persistent with his formation. When I saw we were set up exactly like City it was obviously they would play through us, especially with the players available. Why not play a different way? Would it have been crazy to play...
