"Tomsdad - spot on . Excruciating stuff to watch . We are so deep Alvarez spends as much time in our box as our centre backs . Soucek, full game again . Zouma , a crock . WP - can’t even take a decent corner anymore. Things might pick up again when Paqueta is back , but we are going nowhere fast with Moyes ."

[Sir Alf]

"Well Bournemouth having been getting some good results beating a City away and a couple of others and you can see their manager has improved them no end. They are all fast, strong and competitive and pass well all over the park. We should have lost that and there would be no complaints but have Areola and Kudus to thank for a draw. The set up was all wrong but we seriously lack pace all over the pitch and Bournemouth's high press we really struggled with especially first half when they were continually catching all our players in possession as they close fast and from the front. It got them the goal. We created next to nothing. We need pace, and movement desperately and better passers of the ball. Zouma is an old fashioned defender but cannot pass well enough and was exposed a few times for his lack of pace and agility. He looks like he's playing in leg irons. We need better. Areola - MOTM for us Johnson - still questionable crossing and passing but played well I thought and put thru Bowen for the pass of the game. Shame Bowen made a mess of it Emerson - Good performance Stavros - Thought he was decent tonight only one poor pass that could have been costly Phillips - looked very rusty and off the pace like a bloke who has not played much football in 2 years Soucek - Actually, Im his worse critic. Yes he's too slow but did pretty well tonight except in front of goal. But better than JWP and Phillips Alvarez - took some time to get with the pace and physicality, after his lay off, but got stronger and much better as the game progressed and played well especially 2nd half JWP - was poor and should have been subbed Kudus - Bournemouth were well aware of him and double teamed him and were very physical so he struggled to get space but was the one player who could actually create something as he did with the pen Bowen - Poor and not a centre forward. Cornet and Ings - hardly any involvement We need a better manager and 2 or 3 players. Phillips we have to hope gets better as he gets fitter and sharper"

Moyes deserves all the pelters coming his way . The players clearly don't practice passing the ball . I've seen way worse west ham sides that can do that with no difficulty. And that dwarf slag is fucking poisonous.

That was a fucking awful performance. Gutless and artless. The only players to come out of that with any credit were Areola and Kudus. What the fuck do they do in training that ends up with them hardly being able to put any passing moves together? Fuck off Moyes.

"Turned it off after the first half. Painful to watch, like watching an end of season game or a friendly. Lost count now how many times I’ve switched off during a game."

[Any Old Iron]

Once again our team is as shit as this site. Does the cսnt Moyes have some involvement with WHO. It is so shit it wouldn‚Äôt surprise me. Whoever runs this site has absolutely no right to crticise the utter wanker that is Moyes.

[nychammer]

We do the hard things. We go Arsenal and Spurs and win and then we can’t get past Bournemouth at home with a dreadful performance like this. Same old west ham. It’s why we’ll never be better than mid table long term. Moyes is turning us into a dull version of stoke city.

[maverick180]

"Moyes took off Kudus to bring on Cornet as he can’t bring himself to ever take off Ward-Prowse or Soucek no matter how bad they play Both of them offer absolutely nothing from open play, in fact Ward-Prowses delivery of late has been abysmal But in Moyes’s delusional mind he sees both of them as match winners more than Kudus The bloke needs taking out to the pasture and shooting"

[Keep dreaming]

Booooooo Appalling setup gave us a shit start. Could easily have been 4 nil down. Fine effort from Kudus earned Moyes a lucky point Playing Barcelona away is never easy....

2 points from Sheffield Utd & Bournemouth. Won’t be top 6 or top half playing that shit.

"Well the only positive about that is that we didn't lose and that was thanks to Areola.JWP and Phillips popping up left midfield just bizarre. Would love to know what Moyes sees in Soucek if he doesn't score and bringing Cornet on with three minutes left, what is the point? I don't think Moyes is even a tactical dinosaur, to be a tactical dinosaur you need a degree of tactical nous!"

[Stowie.40]

"Horrendous watch again, don’t care where we are the football is dire week after week, we’ve had so much luck this season. Snatching results when we don’t deserve, outplayed by Bournemouth. Fuck off"

[Sydney_Iron]

"As a fat man used to say ""respect the point"" Although this was Bournemouth at home, fucking Bournemouth! Not Man City Not Liverpool, FFS, setting up with only 2 attacking players was a mistake, one or even 2 of those DM,s should have made way and we started with Ings and/or Cornet at the very least. Philips didn't exactly impress either, the fuck up for there early goal wouldnt have helped."

[ragingbull]

2 points from sheff utd and Bournemouth from the dinosaur cսnt.

[Ron Eff]

There are genuinely people that want him to get a new deal. Fuck that.

[RootsRadical]

Why wait until the 6th minute of Injury time to bring Cornet on. Might as well sell him too Moyes. Another fucking draw.

Phillips playing on the left wing in the second half probably explains the sales of Benrahma and Fornals.

"Tactically and technically we have gone backwards under this fraud of a manager. We haven't got a competitive bench, thanks to this fraud of a manager. Hope the cսnt fucks off soon"

[Matthew Holmes]

Just tuned in. 3 holding midfielders...a Moyes wet dream.? And JWP AS A FWD??? At home to Bournemouth right. Shocking misjudgement
