I predicted we could be 17th after this game and it only needs for Villa to win and we are in a relegation battle. My view is their is something wrong in the dressing room.

2 central defenders who were great last season wouldn't get a game in a National league fixture I watched the whole game and can't remember Fornals and ajeyti being mentioned Anderson looks a ltlle boy lost he either gets the ball taken off him loses it or stands there looming at it how many times could he have passed to Cresswell and just stood there today was unbelievable.

My own feelings are we need to start with a back 3 of Ogbonna Diop and Read (if he's still not ready play Rice in the back 3) Then a diamond with Rice playing in Front of Snodgrass 2 wing backs with Cresswell and Frederick's a front 3 of Masuarku Haller and Yarmalenko maybe drop Haller for Anthonio

The others need to fight there way into the reckoning The Goalkeeper is obviously Fabianski as soon as fit but at the moment Roberto can't be trusted good shot stopping but awful at crosses and no presence time to give Martin a try

Then there is Pelegrini if we are bottom 3 by the start of December then Sack him no ifs no buts he's out. Give the job to Kevin Keen till we can find someone who wants to be West Ham manager not just some over the hill money grabbing has been

It costs me over £3k a season watch this lot and no doubt many of you do to. I feel for the supporters who made the journey to Turf Moor today and probably got soaked in the process

OK rant over till after the Tottenham game when ever hopeful we may have got 3 points.

Agree with a lot of the above, however.

It’s far too soon to play Reed, he hasn’t played football for years now. There’s a difference between being fit and “match” fit. He’ll get torn apart against these premier league players at the moment. He’s probably our best centre back, but he needs to be eased back in at the moment, not thrown in the deep end.

Rice for me hasn’t looked right since the England game. I think he’s a confidence player and it’s at rock bottom at the moment and it shows in his performances. Although Anderson’s final product wasn’t great today, him and Snodgrass were the only players who looked even remotely bothered today.

The defence and goalkeeper were completely abject today. Diop looks lost, balbuena is out of position every single time, and Roberto can shot stop. but that’s about it.

Haller is probably wondering what sort of mistake he’s made leaving Frankfurt. they won 3-0 the other night.

Lots to work on - a relegation dog fight is the last thing we need.

We are in a relegation dogfight already
These players don’t have any desire or commitment
they don’t deserve to wear the shirt.
The manager is not good enough to change
things either, otherwise it would of changed.

I sort of get what your saying TK but Reid isn't a youngster needing protecting he's in the latter years of his career and very experienced he's had two games back and I get they are below the standard but it's minutes he needs not experience and cannot possibly do any worse than what we have its the midfield which I've been banging on about when we had the chance to buy KANTE before he joined leicester as NOBLES legs are gone he's OK with the ball at his feet but agonisingly slow to react and get tracking back when forward I'm sorry but SNODGRASS imo isn't up to constantly performing in the premier league so for me I'd out NOBLE, SNODGRASS, ZABALETA, WILSHIRE (ON HIS INJURY RECORD NOT ABILITY), SANCHEZ, ROBERTO, CRESWELL, and try and replace them in the next transfer window I know it's quite a few replacements but it's gone on long enough with us playing deadwood and has been's. COYI.

It doesn't matter who the manager is its the lack of investment in the squad one bigish budget last season and a 23 million net spend last summer isn't no where near good enough the two bobs just want to stay up and grab the tv money their loans are repaid with 5% intrest tells you everything you need to know about them.
