West Ham vs Crystal Palace, 17.30, Saturday, 5th Oct

Very pedestrian start. Palace clearly setting up to frustrate and try to catch us on the break.

Can see this being a real struggle.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

We’ve seen this a few times this season. Very pedestrian and passive on the ball.

We need to be hungrier to score, IMO.

thornburyiron

We’ve been very pedestrian so far

MrsGrey

Comms team reckon we are doing well because we have a lucky carpet.

McCarthey took a bang to the head there, where is Windsor Davis when you need him

She’s watching Noddy. Thought I’d give myself some peace and quiet.

Now I’m thinking about watching Noddy with her.

OldCastleSwift

Innit, Jorderz.

We really miss Antonio in games like this. We have no-one prepared to run in behind. It's all so one-paced and a bit boring, TBH.

Anderson is so out of form

thornburyiron

We are very much second best here

alderz

Tbh, I’ve not watched us this season and thought our attacking lineup has lived up to its potential. One day we‘ll click, maybe. Hopefully.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Quarter of the game gone. Haven’t had a shot. Haven’t put a cross in. Haven’t had a half-chance. Haven’t touched the ball in their box.

Why are we so passive? Infuriating.

I’m not sure I agree. I think both teams have been rubbish so far.

SuzanneClaret

Carragher is getting on my wick already

Need to do more

Been very poor

Palace looking sharper and stronger than us

OldCastleSwift

We get the ball out wide, and it comes back inside and, invariably, back. Every single time.

The bench isn't the most inspiring, either. I'm surprised Masuaku doesn't make the bench as a winger. At least he has pace and is willing to take on his man.

OldCastleSwift

Finally, an incisive throughball and Haller meets Yarmo's cutback, but the 'keeper make a good save

We've been laboured, but that lino needs to stop being so flag happy.

OldCastleSwift

Haller should score there. Unchallenged from six yards out. If he scuffs it it's probably in

buffybegood

Haller had to score.

OldCastleSwift

A couple of chances now for Anderson. We seem to have woken up at last

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Oh Felipe..

grey_til_I_dye

We appear to have worked up.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Lanzini totally anonymous.

grey_til_I_dye

Haller had very little time, imo, and did what he could, which was to get it on target.

Fredericks with a goal line clearance
