We almost pulled it off. Fucking gutted!

[onsideman]

If only we could have performed as well against them as the mighty Qarabag did in the last round

[HammerFan43]

"I'm not sure how much more of Moyes I can possibily take. All season we have been a team of defend, defend, defend and grab a goal on the break. Is this really what we want to see? To me it's a big No. Yes, defend when you need to - bloody obviously. The rest of the time take the game to the opposition. Are we not capable of doing that with the quality of players we have? I believe we do have quality players. Most are internationals. I believe it's the management and tactics of the manager which is fucking us up. You can't play a game defending for 1.5 hours. So I'm sorry the have to say this but #MoyesOut."

[ludo21]

"True that Atalanta were even worse odds than us tonight but they obviously went for it with a striker that Moyes didn’t ever fancy or ever give a run of games to. Thought we stuck to the task well but, as always,it isn’t sustainable. No real chance without Paqueta and Emerson and I expect us being more offensive will play into their hands unfortunately."

[Side of Ham]

Shots……33 to our 1…….and the Paqueta/Emerson link up on the left is out of the second leg…..who would have thought this would be the outcome…..

[Dwight Van Mann]

"Gutted, can't just defend for 90mins against a top side"

[twoleftfeet]

"Not having this shit about Scammacca, his own manager criticised him recently and he has 8 goals in 23 games. Im happy to criticise Moyes tonight but to say Scammacca would have made a difference is bullshit."

[RootsRadical]

"Paqueta is a fucking moron. I knew he'd booked he just can't help himself. Fucking pissed off with this team and Moyes. No discipline and just keep conceding goals. Alvarez is another one who just can't stop getting booked, costing us big time now. Didn't think Emerson's was a booking, very harsh. Bare bones next week if Bowen is still out. Our squad is very thin, just not good enough."

[Grumpster]

"What an utter fucking dinosaur jock cսnt that man is. Imagine getting to a quarter final and then setting up the team to lose, as its pretty obvious that's what is gonna happen when you don't have any decent defenders and happily let the oppo have over 30 attempts. Just hope there's a better more attack minded manager here next season to replace paqueta and bowen, as hate to think of the gash this nob would sign and I'd imagine with no European football and suitors galore, jarod will also be tempted to fuck off to get himself a better chance of an England spot, as big nose won't ever rate him properly while he plays for us. Do the honourable thing and fuck off out of or club Moyes."

Need an aggressive atmosphere next week.

"Thought we done okay until the subs. Their 1st was very lucky. Very poorly hit and Fabianski happened to be unsighted. Johnson did not belong in that game. Have to hope Bowen can make a return next week. Without him and Paq, I don't really see a way back into this, and regardless, we'll have to come out the gate guns blazing. I'd run out the kids on Sunday. We're going to need 90 minutes out of just about everyone for the return."

[Any Old Iron]

"Well, that’s the season over. Of all the painful Moyesball ‘performances’ I’ve had to endure that one has to have been the worst. Was it just one shot on goal the entire night? I hated every second of it. Moyes is a despicable fraud. He has to go."

[cambsiron]

Gutted. At 80 mins we are going through against a poor championship side. At 90 mins we are going out.

[nychammer]

"Never say never but it’s probably job done for BL. We don’t have the quality or approach to overturn a 2-0 lead against quality like them. Moyes won’t know how to approach the second leg. It’s not like you can sit back and defend a 2-0 deficit and even if he does let the handbrake off (he has to) we are missing Paqueta and possibly other key players. Will have to be something special, so with that, as always, COYI!!"

[twoleftfeet]

"That was a painful watch, embarrassing really. There is hope but without Paqueta, who was shit tonight, Emerson and potentially Bowen it doesn’t look good. An early goal and who knows but where will that come from? They were a good side but we made them look like world beaters, Moyes was out managed by a younger, brighter coach. Oh well onto Fulham, at least we don’t have to rest Paqueta."

[Elpojohn]

"Shameful and Gutless. Bad substitutions by Moyes once again, Cowardly Cresswell did not do enough for their 2nd goal. One shot all game , disgraceful. Get Rid of Aguerd ASAP."

[Fauxstralian]

Unfortunate to concede a second late as 0-1 would have given us a silly chance. In truth completely outplayed by a better team with a better manager who I'm guessing has had a fraction of the resources of our bloke. Tops it off that Liverpool could be going out after 2 Scamacca goals The day after the striker that won the AFCON scores in a Champions League quarter final Shame they both were deemed useless by Moyes

[onsideman]

Doesn't look like Atalanta turned up at Anfield and put 10 men behind the ball. What a crazy idea

[Sir Alf]

"A 2 goal deficit is not getting turned around against this lot. Fabianski was MOTM and saved 3 certain goals. Didnt make a mark on them and lets be honest they can just play the ball around us for 80% of the game. Hate a loss for West Ham but the better football team won as much as we hate to admit it. No squad, no subs, we get tired and let in 2 late goals. Moyes brand of football is limited. Get. U so far but it wont beat the best teams. Not sure I can take watching us playing this wsy tor another 2 or 3 seasons. Moyes job is done and unless miracles happen its sadly looking like no Europe next year based on remaining games, injuries vcatching up again on Moyes 14 man squad We need to take a risk with a new man, sell Paqueta and revamp tye whole squad and approach with a new coach"

[Tomshardware]

"Their subs won them the game, up to that point we had defended well. Going to be a very depleted side next week, can't see us having enough to come back."

[gooders]

Boniface Vs Cresswell. Who would have thunk it?

[Ron Eff]

"Defended brilliantly because its all we fucking did Zico. If you try to defend in your own box for 90 minutes, probability suggests you will eventually concede. The three times we did attack they looked suspect at the back. This manager is a gutless prick. It’s one thing keeping your shape, that was pathetic."

[maverick180]

"Texas Iron - you think we should have scored at least 1????? We only had had one shot all game, which is the worst stat I’ve ever seen"
