Great chance for us to put points between us and Liverpool/Chelsea here if we can nick a winner. Liverpool look fucked but I've still got concerns about Chelsea going on a run. Spurs too. 

Klopp looked exhausted  

[wykikitoon 19359]

There are times when I wish we would just shoot. 

[toonotl 2842]

Rice has played well today broken up our flow in midfield really well. He'd look nice in a Newcastle shirt.

[Howay 12496]

Poor performance but Wilson missed some really key chances. Has to be putting those away imo, hopefully Isak is back for next match as it’s time for him to be starting. 
 

I’m hoping that’s ASMs last start for us and he’s gone in summer. Total fucking embarrassment for him today, no effort or fucks given the same as when he come on for the SF. 

[toonotl 2842]

3 minutes. We're not getting those extra 2-4 minutes yet. Still need to sign up some refs to add to the squad depth.

[Gemmill 42777]

Definitely feels like the second half of the season is gonna be a harder slog than the first. 

 

This is shocking after some of his heroics, but I'd be tempted to get Targett back in the team at some point. I fucking love Dan Burn but we need a left back who offers something going forward. 

[Zathras 243]

Sigh.  

[wykikitoon 19359]

So 3 mins added on.  They make a sub and we play an extra 38 seconds  

[ewerk 29547]

Two points dropped.

[wykikitoon 19359]

They made it hard and probably a fair result.

ASM needs to never grace the pitch again. He's fucking embarrassing 

[wykikitoon 19359]

Willock must be one of our most subbed players. 

[OTF 7124]

A frustrating draw, West Ham much better than their table position, especially defensively. As expected we really missed Bruno. Some nice touched from Gordon in his cameo.

I too can't shake the same feeling as much as I love Burn.

Tbf he was blowing after 50 mins. Needs a rest.

He runs his legs off every game he plays.

[Kid Dynamite 6847]

Lacked some composure in the middle without Bruno. ASM did very little. Gordon injected a bit of spark when he came on. I still think we missed a trick not getting a creative midfielder this window 

[Chaser 1186]

There was some very average performances out there. Trips probably our MOTM Longy a close 2nd. 

 

Fair result but don't like seeing the Mancs go above us. 

[AgentAxeman 166]

Ah well, at least we've hit the magic 40 points! 

 

 

[PaddockLad 16576]

May have shaded it. But not really. Not sure whether we missed Bruno, not at the start but WH soon dominated midfield, Rice is a class above most of our lot.  No complaints really, before the WC break we were over achieving, the way we’ve played since is more a true reflection of where we are…

[aimaad22 3979]

Very frustrating again. This is becoming a theme. Teams know how to setup against us now and we dont have the creativity to unlock defenses. 

 

The intensity has dropped as well, understandable so at this stage of the season. We are electric the first 20 minutes and then it all becomes a bit casual. 

 

I hope ASM never starts for us again, embarrassing performance.

[trophyshy 7060]

West Ham no mugs tbf.  Wankers. But not mugs.  

[wykikitoon 19359]

We are still unbeaten at home and we didn't lose.

I think having Isak would have been the differnce we needded today. Better performance by Wilson so thats another plus.

[Kid Dynamite 6847]

On the plus side, we had a bad day, were missing Isak and Bruno and still bossed possession, got a point and were pushing for the win

I think before the WC our style of play, mainly down the right was fresh and too much for most teams, especially with Miggy hitting a purple patch. Now, Miggy goals have dried up and we are too one sided.
 

Hopefully Gordon will improve this, but too often Burn wants to pass back or pass infield.

 

Also can’t understate what a huge miss Bruno is.

True. I guess most of us will be disappointed if we miss out on 4th spot now. Which really isn't fair based on the squad we have.
