It's like Moyes has a massive mental block when playing the big boys. The only team we've taken the game to is City, and we very nearly got something from it.
And tonight we're playing better now we have to chase the game.
Soucek needed to meet that instead of letting it come to him
Let them get bodies in the way
Soucek is another one who isn't quite having the same impact as he was. Understandable though as he's had to play almost every minute of football this season because of the squad deficiencies.
We’ve looked so, so much better since the changes. Lanzini has looked bright, but seems to not know what to do when he gets to the box. I don’t think it’s beyond us to nick one here
Disappointing with the approach from Moyes we don't even have a midweek game. The negative hold out for a draw approach reeks of Allardyce old school tactics. Understandable if its against City who demolish teams 5 or 6 to the good but this is an injury hit Man United. We gave them too much respect.
This has been poor. Moyes has to wear 90% of the blame because the selection was terrible. Such a predictable performance and result.
But I reserve 10% for how the club has been run. Our squad is so thin that Antonio, Bowen, Soucek and Rice have no real cover or competition. They have to play regardless of form or fitness and we could find the season tailing off because of it.
Not a performance of a team wanting champions league. Basically we turned up for 30 minutes and gave them a game. Oh what might have been if Moyes had truly believed

Just wish he'd be a bit braver.
Diop will be a great player one day...

Moyes has done fantastic but he should get the hard questions...
What on earth was he thinking...every West Ham fan in the world knew he got the line up wrong and we were all proved correct.
Shocking
