Retake keeper tiny bit of his line.. come on klick burst it

Mushy

Out of jail. Thought thered be a retake cos a west ham player was well into the box the first one.

Also....that defence splitting pass by Cooper

That was a great intercept and ball by Cooper.

whiterebel

What a ball by Raphinha

Also a bit optimistic, I think Raphinha and Rodrigo could strike up a good understanding given time together.

Being compatriots with similar styles will hugely help.

event

Just noticed Pablo on the bench. I had feared he was gone

whiterebel

Do we seem a bit sluggish in defence?

10000maniacs

I have counted 4 times Rodrigo has given it away in midfield leading to West Ham chances.

Seathrun66

So soft.

10000maniacs

Another bloody corner.

whiterebel

That Soucek is always dangerous in the box. Terrible defending from a corner again.

I'd like if we just slowed it down a bit and showed more composure. Everything the last 15 minutes looks to be like it has been fast ball out of defence has gone to west ham.

Soucek on Dallas? Jesus christ lads.

event

I can understand MB not changing the way he plays. I can understand we will always commit bodies forward, even in the 95th minute.

But I cannot understand his refusal to change how we defend set pieces. It is costing us points, he has to be accountable for that

Hes not a midfielder though. He's a striker and usually always plays there or wide. Playing Central midfield for Bielsa in the premier league is tough. I think we are doing him a disservice playing him there tbh

10000maniacs

Rodrigo straight at the keeper. Anywhere else.

whiterebel

I never knew Moyles was such a B@st@rd.; Imagine calling anyone your "replacement Fellaini......."

10000maniacs

Rodrigo too loose in midfield. Will cost us.

Mushy

Klich has been poor all game

Hijpo

Philip's being marked out of the game again. Bowen has followed him everywhere the past 15 minutes.

event

Get Harrison off. Not offering much tbh. Get Raph over to the left and Poveda on the right.

20 mins to go, get Pablo on if Rodrigo still struggling. It'll give Rice something to think about

whiterebel

How many times does the hand have to hit a ball before it is a handball? Glad to hear the rules were "tweaked" after Koch got done against Liverpool.

downthemiddle

How many times did he handle that?

Ceist_Beag

Alioski looks like a liability again, out of position a number of times. Raphinha looks our most dangerous player. One player who looks completely at home in the premier league is Ayling, really impressed with him this season. As has been said, we do need to show a bit more composure in attack

Seathrun66

Our crossing is going nowhere, bar Bamford's last header they've been nonchalantly knocking it away each time. More on the ground I think, and more guile.

We look tired.

Mushy

Costa and Shackleton on for Alioski and Harrison

event

Phillips gone centre half?

Hijpo

Better

Mushy

Damn if Shackleton hit that pass softer it would have worked out

Hijpo

Will we see a sub being subbed?

Costa hauled off??

He is so lightweight. I cannot believe he was brought on at half Time.

event

Him and poveda are too small. You get away with that if you're someone like David Silva (even though he was stronger than he looks). Id be getting Pablo on now

Seathrun66

Pablo to come on and give us some composure near their box?

Hijpo

Declan rice is steady out, just seems to be positioned perfectly every time. Just far enough away to get ahead of the attacker in the air but close enough to close quickly if they get it to feet.

Bamfords movement seems to be always central rather than running the channels, evidence was him running straight into ogbonna rather than in behind when balbuena got pulled out wide.

I thought that about Poveda too, but he seems to give defenders plenty of problems. Costa just gets knocked off the ball too easily.

10000maniacs

We are seriously under the kosh now. Cooper is not good enough at this level.

Mushy

Some man Meslier

Ceist_Beag

I'd take a draw right now, we're really struggling. Great save by Meslier

Hijpo

Meslier is our equivalent to De Gea for united when he had that unbelievable season. A save worth as much as a goal.

I agree, is have Poveda on ahead of Costa every time. He might be small, but he's hard to dispossess and gets his crosses in. Costa just runs into dead ends and then falls over.

Mushy

Oh look, a set piece conceded again

10000maniacs

It was Costa's mistake that caused the free kick. Useless.

Ceist_Beag

Costa you absolute bell end

whiterebel

Again.

Its a joke and the main criticism of MB tbh

GoldFour4

Cooper poor on the set piece.

Costa is poor. I’d rather Poveda coming on even though he is just as light.

Zaph

We really need to start working on defending set pieces. Everyone knows that they have a really good chance of scoring from a corner or free kick against us. And we don't do ourselves and favours giving away frees so cheaply.

Seathrun66

Really out of sorts tonight. Unsure why. The poor substitutions haven't helped and there's no inkling of an equaliser on the way.

We've been unlucky in some of our games thus far. Not here.
