Craptacular....against a team missing how many players ? We are now just 3 points away from relegation. Same as we were at the start of the game. See how results go tomorrow. If we are still 3 it's 1 fewer game. Decent point today. We weren't very good in second half for all our possession. Still a number of teams below us who are hardly brilliant. Swansea result was annoying but they are still 3 below us having just won 2 in a row. They won't keep winning.

Ok first half. Awful 2nd. Once Sako went of we had nothing going forward. Total lack of creativory in the team.

Not good enough to win but happy enough with a point away to an in form team. Would like an upgrade on Van Aanholt.

Right, that's done, a point away from home, another biased ref, can't complain too much about coming away with a draw really. Just have to worry about tomorrow now.

West Ham setup well considering their squad limitations with injuries. They kicked, ganged up and out-muscled and we just seem to struggle when we come up against that. Luka getting booked so early really hurt us I think and the pitch was really heavy which slowed our wingers down. They played like a Neil Warnock team with the new lad adding a bit of class. They didn't really look like scoring, but they earned the point. We were too sluggish and still seem incapable of breaking teams down that sit deep. PvA had a lot of the ball and did nothing with it. Why Man City would be interested in him I have no idea? On the other side of the pitch TFM had an awful game and may well lose his place to Ward. A shame as he has been looking better. Kelly and Tomkins did ok. Townsend was probably one of our best players on the pitch. Zaha just went into hiding after a few strong challenges, plus West Ham were basically sending three players to crash into him every time he got the ball. Bentenke got a goal but struggled in an overcrowded box. Had our crossing been only slightly better he might have had more chances. Aside from the comical throw Wayne had a reasonably good game, with a point blank save and some good handling. The referee was a joke. Sam Byram even seemed to find it amusing how many fouls he had to commit before getting booked. Luka? One foul. Tomkins? One foul. Meh. Poor performance overall and a point we can take and move on.

A good point but things don’t look right with our players. Wilf had a poor game but those around him didn’t give any support. No one stood out and anyone else would have beaten us tonight - not sure why we aren’t showing any get up and go and they seem to be just going about their roles without putting much effort in?

He was quiet but it seemed like Zabaleta was allowed to pull/push/kick/barge him around without any comeback. Ref looked like he was judging stuff based on hearsay & reputation rather than what’s in front of him. Scary thought but perhaps the ludicrous social media ‘diver’ campaign has worked with some of these weak minded officials. He'll be 'forensically assessed' after the game says Willo.....by referees who are as bad and bent as he is!!! Total waste of space, Soreprick,(almost as bad as Clattenf***) gave us sweet FA how many fouls did Byram make before he was eventually booked, could and should have had 3 yellows at least.... maybe they should forensically assess the bank accounts of some officials?

I can't stand West Ham and I loathe Tony Gayle. How does he get to commentate on a West Ham game? Biased t***.

I remember at home against Watford when their fans were singing look at the table.

We looked a bit rusty as well, not always good with those lay-offs. And should it not be possible to find a better corner-taker than Cabaye?
