"What a shit afternoon that was.. That walk from the station getting wet was probably the highlight of it. Shit football, shit atmosphere..."

[62Hammer]

"More of my time and money wasted. Moyes can't be blamed for the mistake for their goal, but he can be blamed for everything else in this boring, inept, lacklustre, boring, slow, boring, predictable, timid, boring performance. The atmosphere was dreadful - because after our early goal the crowd had absolutely nothing to get excited about."

[Keep dreaming]

"Absolutely dogshit management lost us points today. He sticks with his favourite players, and doesn't care if by doing that, several are playing off their best positions. Soucek keep wandering around in midfield. Maybe his stats says he runs a lot, but that doesn't matter as long as he is a fucking donkey with a shirt on. And even better, giving him tha capt armband is pathetic. By doing that you say he is untouchable. Bowen isn't a striker, Paqueta isnt a winger and Kudus is best center. Despite that, and despite a dull borefest game, he manages a sub at 86min. And who comes on. Mubama or Cornet? The the forgotten boy Fornals. And what do you expect by that sub? Absolutely nothing. Ratings: Areola 6 Coufal 3 (good assist, but the bloke can't fucking pass) Mavropanos 5 (bad miss for the goal) Aguerd 6 (long ball specialist) Emerson 6 (should have scored) JWP 4 (waste in that role) Alvarez 6 (tidy) Capt Soucek 1 (slow mo donkey) Paqueta 7 (despite being played wide left) Kudus 8 (man what a talent) Bowen 4 (waste in that role) MOYES -1 (can fuck off)"

On way back from that sh!t show. Palace were ordinary at best but we failed to create barely any chances and only tried to win the game from the 80th minute onwards. Another defensive error to boot. Fuck knows why Moyes didn't throw Mubama on with 15 to go.

"'Our best ever manager' I will say this - on paper he has bought RELATIVE success to this club. When was the last time we had three consecutive forays into European Football and a Trophy? and that is what many a Neutral will observe and may think it strange that we want him out. The cost however, as we who have to watch know, is that the footballing philosophy makes it unwatchable at times, infuriatingly so in the case of today. Results aren't everything, and annoyingly so he gets enough of them to keep his job, but it gets to the point where despite not losing or even winning games, the performances and tactics just leave a bad taste."

Citeh showing how you cut through midfield / defence one touch passes ...more of that on Thurs please LOL

[marty feldman]

Our midfield is more than good enough. It's the way Moyes sets up that is the issue ward prowse defensive midfield. Pacqueta out on the wing . And the excellent but small Jarrod Bowen up top on his own. When the clearly more suited mo kudus to the lone striker role is put in JBs position instead . As Ron greenwood said simplicity is genius.

[paulon]

'Our best ever manager' hahaha fucking hell

[Willtell]

That was bad selection decisions from Moyes yet again. Soucek as attacking midfield! Paqueta as left winger. JWP as a DM. At least he got Alvarez in the right DM position. After 60 mins he switched - Soucek to DM where he should have started. Paqueta to Striker. Bowen to RW. Kudus to LW where we’ve never seen him before. JWP to left midfield. Then near the end Alvarez came off from DM as Soucek was there and Fornals came to LM so that JWP could go more central again!! Moyes might have managed over 1000 games but selections defy any logic…

[lowlife]

Yawn inducing performance today. We will have Antonio back when Kudus goes to AFCON. ‘Our best ever manager’. Unbelievable.

[Manuel]

"nyc - Yep, 1-1 at home against a very average side with 20 mins left and 60,000 fans you find a way to win, but it was simply beyond us. You can't get lucky every week, so will take a point and move on, move on to what though I have no idea. It never fails to amaze me how poor we are at carving out chances and we never do anything through the middle. Dinosaur OUT!"

[Mex Martillo]

"Very disappointing, feels like a lose dropping 2 points. Hate to say our midfield is awful. Strange as it's where we have our best players. Still that Mavropanos error screwed us up."

[Takashi Miike]

"yet more turgid shit. a home game where he makes one substitution and never brings on a striker, he needs to go yesterday. It's painful watching us, so much talent going to waste with one of the chuckle brothers on the sidelines"

[violator]

This cսnt feet is obviously on a wind up

[paulon]

"Got no idea why Sky Sports give us so many games tbh, can't see any neutral viewer being physically able to sit through 90 minutes of the turgid shit this cretin serves up every week"

[nychammer]

"a half decent side finds a way to win that. Bring players on, Change the game. We just didn't. We will flog the same 11 players week in and out and we looked dog tired at the end. That's just unacceptable and the quality of our performance is hitting new lows because of Moyes and his style. We need to get rid sooner than later, wouldnt mind if we were Burnley, but where we are and the way we play given the money spent is not enough. Matter of time before Kudus and Paqueta think Fuck This and move on ."

"Another dismal footballing display. We actually scored a good team goal tbf, but that was our only real moment of quality. We predictably sat back after that and only played with any pace and desire when it was too late. Even then it was just a flurry of desperate crosses into the box. Moyezzzzzball really is football poison."

[irisiris95]

"Frustrating lot Palarse. They certainly played the spoiler game well but it was an individual error that handed them that point. I think generally Mavropanos has been good so a blip for me - it happens. Ironically it happened just after HT. Don't know what goes on tbh.... Bowen was understandably quiet after that injury. But that header at the end could easily have gone in !! Kudus was the one that looked like taking the initiative. We need more to go at the opposition like that. Emerson also had a great chance. We need to get the striker in in January. I was surprised by Edouard, he looked quite sturdy upfront but I think we can do better. Up to Steidten to nail that one."

[Vexed]

"Twobobnonceycunt - you thought we were good today?! What a fucking idiot you are. You need a fucking slap, you ex fuzz twat."

[mulle91]

"I hate David Moyes more than I’ve hated anybody in my West Ham life. Most negative, boring football I never want to see."

[twoleftfeet]

"Why don‚Äôt you fuck off Vexed? It‚Äôs not your fucking club you are just someone who has a passing interest in it. An individual error cost us the match, we never looked like conceding to be honest. My only complaint was that we need a striker, Bowen isn‚Äôt the answer. Unlike you and the other tena ladies I give fair assessments based on what I‚Äôve seen and not because I have some irrational hatred of West Ham‚Äôs best ever manager ?üòò"

[zico]

"Think the only positive is that we didn't lose. Bowen is wasted up front, has to move back to the right and I'd personally move Kudus to the left. JWP on the left, what was that all about? All our centre backs accidents waiting to happen and if you are going for a goal you bring on Formals?! 1000 odd games between those two dinosaurs and that's what they dredge up. Getting fed up with the hystrionics of Paqueta and Emerson as well, just get on with the game."
