    This game is going on now and has as much atmosphere as the moon.

    We're knocking it about well enough.

    We lead the league in passes and chances and letting poor teams back into games.

    If it wasn't a dive it was certainly dive adjacent.

    That was an interesting save from fabianski.

    new rule for team: no more all night Ouzo partys on road trips

    so sluggish no tempo or pace dwelling on ball too long be a good match for one or two less jaded youth to play a bit like Hudson-Odoi or Loftus-Cheek, pretty much anyone with a hyphen

    The right game plan from West Ham, though. It's easy to look sluggish against a defending team.

    I was busy smashing my TV [emoji14] That said, he wasn't the only one. Kante was equally bad. Both of them kept upsetting the tempo. Also, Willian should to stop taking corners.

    We definitely need one more proven goalscorer.

    Hazard was well off of his game today. Probably the worst performance on the pitch relative to what the player is capable of.

    Talk about a toothless performance. This was my exact concern with Europa League and Sarri's lack of rotation.

    Not sure any manager in history has rotated the way this msg board has wanted him to. When you're on the hot seat, I'd like to see you (royal you) rotate players.

    I know what you're saying and it's not wrong. Most of us would have been ok with close to a new 11 but Sarri isn't on the hot seat. Granted that can change quickly and we need to win Europa as a security blanket but we could have/should have been able to manage that while incorporating a little more squad rotation.

    I'd like to know why he kept passing when he had a chance to get a shot away. It's like he was more concerned with making a goal for Morata than score a bloody goal :(

    Again, easy to say watching on the screen. I trust the guy who's top 5 in the world right now. He wants to score. Wants to win. Those two take priority over getting a goal for a teammate for him. He was OK today. West Hum did a good job today as a team. Now we go into the meat grinder of Liverpool and I imagine we'll raise our game.

    And if we're smart we'll ********ing ante up 50m for Pulisic in January.

    Nah, Eden looked a bit out of sorts today like young boots said.

    I like the look of Pulisic from what I've seen but, in my case, that's not much.

    Just wasn't quite there today unfortunately and this team goes as he goes more often than not. And given he was excused European duty to get some rest, it just makes it more disappointing.

    Time to regroup and make sure we stay unbeaten.
