West Ham Vs Crystal Palace - Sun 3rd Dec - kick off 2pm

JWP deservedly in the book for a very cynical foul.

MIAHammer

Paqueta lucky not to be in the book for that foul.

buffybegood

Paqueta loses the ball and is lucky, imo, not to get a yellow for the subsequent foul as he chased back.

buffybegood

1-0 HT

Lukerz

Has Paqueta ever had a good first half for us? Always turns to second but his first half performances are always abysmal.

MIAHammer

Bowen hasn’t really been in the game.
How good is Kudus at keeping the ball.

steve

Yet another not great watch .

Lukerz

Playing Bowen as a striker long term is not the answer, it has to happen for now but he will get fed up

EXETERHAMMER

Kudus seems to have extra arms and legs when holding the ball. Very agile and strong on the ball.

Lukerz

The midfield 3 make us stodgy but it gets the best out of Soucek & makes us more compact. A tricky one.

steve

i keep thinking we should be better then this .But perhaps this is our level .

buffybegood

Soucek maybe costs Kudus a second, he swung his foot at the ball as it went past him, if he stood still it "should" have counted, maybe.

buffybegood

Emerson down and seems in pain.

Expat_Hammer

Oh dear

thornburyiron

Again we concede in first 10 mins of second half.

PrestonHammer

I give up with these players, they are truly pants!

buffybegood

Andy Townsend so out of touch, describing Cresswell as "the perfect replacement"; maybe a few years ago, but definitely not now.

Fortunately Emerson able to continue for now.

Edouard misses the ball from a few yards out, but then scores seconds later as Mavropanos passes him the ball, shocking mistake.

MIAHammer

That’s what we get for too much back passing instead of trying to go forward.

Probably pass back to Areola from a penalty 😭😭😭

thornburyiron

How long before Palace score again. We are in a stupor at the moment.

PrestonHammer

I've seen less back passes in a game of rugby.

Lukerz

We don’t know how to build play. It’s that simple.

MIAHammer

Has JWP scored a free kick since his arrival? Plenty of assists but I don’t recall scoring from a free kick

Pretty sure he hasn't.

buffybegood

Chance for Emerson but he volleys over.

buffybegood

Paqueta overdoing the effects of a slight coming together, I really wish he wouldn't.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I find us so dull to watch.

It’s part of his DNA. I doubt we can change him.

Yeoldhammer

Its all gone Allardyce hoofball

MIAHammer

Don’t panic Soucek to score in the 87th minute.
