Oh don't encourage him Twist ;lol

We should buy a player called Noah Vale, because most of our passes would go to him.

Dodgy pitch, but controling the game.
Need another goal though.

I like what I see from Tore. He's a typical winger playing on the opposite side. Loads of cutting inside and then darting outside, but some good flashes of skill and delivery on a couple of occasions. Calleri has quick feet and has looked sharp on the few occasions he's had the ball. Valencia dreadful. Back four decent. Byram is growing as a RB but needs to cut out the grabby stuff. Given the side and surface, it's been ok. But we are toothless in open play without our star players.

Pitch looks like they've been hosting the Horse Dancing.

Sometimes it's just about doing enough.

Atm, we're doing enough, and some of our kids are getting game time.

All good, imo.

Looks to me like Tore would be better on the left - looks like his crossing is good but when he comes inside or tries to pass it along the floor, he ain't so clever. And Antonio was good on the right last season, even teaching himself how to come in on his left. Come on Bilic - you can do it. Don't be stubborn. Just put Antonio back at right wing.

Horse Dancing! Did they sign Zaza?

Might be for you Twist ;lol

Hammerwombat

Wake up irons. Post half time nap. ;hmm

Lukerz

Need to wake up here

OldCastleSwift

Is it me or are we being outplayed by this lot ;hmm

Lukerz

It's a bit worrying how flat our opening two games have been. ;hmm

We look very sluggish.

Hammerwombat

I don't think we are being outplayed, we have had a bunch of wasted chances. A team sort of put together to suit rather than out of choice, and the usual we should smash this lot confidence, but like Bolton or Stoke, it ain't as easy as that. AC on now, could double our lead, but I just don't want anyone injured.

Come on West Ham lets kill them off here

Marcus Browne on for Tore.

Moore_than_a_nick

Tore kind of grew into the game, I think. Promising. Goes ahead of Valencia in the winger stakes.

Moore_than_a_nick

Oh my word. That was a second yellow for Seppanaru 99 times out of 100. As Slav would say, unfortunately this was the 100th.

Deanscaleshammer

Feel like we are playing with fire

buffybegood

Great work by Browne, Antonio misses a great chance, a defenders finish lol.

Hammerwombat

Antonio............you plonker.

buffybegood

And then they score ;doh

Lukerz

jeez ;doh

Such an underwhelming start to the season.

We're not good enough at the minute.
