    Bilic was asked in the prematch interview about Payet, he replied that he is only interested in talking about the team that's playing ;clap

    COYI

    If there was ever a chance for a team to come together and raise themselves above the noise, then this is it.

    SO many negative column inches discussing, (him who shall not be named) - let us give the press a different and really positive storyline.

    3-0 to us

    COYI

    First goal is huge, concede and we go down like a sack and it will be a Very Long Afternoon, score and the crowd with everything that has happened around Payet will be right behind the team.

    Reid and Collins constantly going long

    Noble just kicked out at that wind up merchant Cabeye, strictly that's a red

    Looks like NBC is the winner ;wink

    So far, 2 teams low on confidence and lacking any imagination in the final 3rd.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Feels like it's panning out as expect2d

    2 teams struggling for confidence neither want to conceed the first goal as it could be 1-0 this

    Lack of quality in the final third for both teams

    Too much passing around the back
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Afraid to say this but compared to the spurs vs WBA game, this far, ours seems to be in slow motion
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Apparently if we don't score today it will be our worst run without a goal for 10 years.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Not much quality from two teams low on confidence first goal is going to be crucial
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Great move and great effort by Carroll

    Shame that didn't go in the TWENTY SEVENTH MINUTE
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Excellent " Super Slav" in the 27th
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Good work by Nobes and a decent effort from Carroll
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Nobles did well for the chance but he's given the ball away so many times already and a stupid free kick to give away
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    How did Tompkins miss that and more importantly, Antonio has to be more alert at set plays like that, he went asleep
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Tomkins should have scored. Palace getting on top now.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Worried about Noble now he's been yellow carded.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    and Carroll
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    And now Carroll

    Have a feeling something needs to change but their isn't an awful lot he can change

    Fletcher for Feghouli maybe, or perhaps bring on Byram and push Antonio up front

    No quality part from Lanzini who's been our brightest spark
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    What a drab first half. We start off average and the go downhill. There's no real quality and nobody with any ideas.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    A 1st half of much ado about nothing.... coyi coyi coyi
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    I wonder if the payet nonsense is impacting the team, very dire, feel sorry for Slav
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Didn't think it was drab, thorn.

    Lots of endeavour without much quality.

    Antonio probably did switch off for the Tomkins chance, but then, he made a number of important defensive interventions as well. Not sure why people only focus on the negative and ignore the good things he does.

    We obviously need to score first; no goals in 3 1/2 games tells its own story.

    If Palace get a goal I think they'll shut up shop and keep us out.

    Really heartening to hear how the crowd have got behind the team and manager.

    Best atmosphere I've heard there for a while.

    An early West Ham goal will settle us all down... ;pray

    There is a small patch of paint drying just above my computer. Supposed to be red but could end up being more orangey pink. Interesting ?

    BBC up to its usual quality. ;lol
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Apart from a flurry of activity around 30 minutes we were at walking pace for most of that half.

    Bit limited on the bench - only attacking option I can see is to bring Fletcher on for Ferghouli.
