I don't mind losing as long as we try; today was pathetic.

No leadership — The players should be ashamed...

And don't blame the manager either; we have players on that pitch with enough experience and on enough money to have sorted it out themselves. Seasoned pros, who just bottled it.

Second half we played with our heads down and were outfought and outplayed by West Ham. That is the most pathetic performance of the season.

I know the are lots of ifs and buts, but a win today would have put us firnly in the picture for Europe, but yet again we have come up short when it really matters.

Howard's fault for first goal, although good save for the pen. Neville not good enough... the whole midfield went missing 2nd half, and 2 strikers who can't be arsed to break out of a jog. The only players who looked interested were Jags and Heitinga

The players should donate this week's wages to charity — I can forgive most things, but lack of effort is unacceptable.

Pointless blaming Osman (again & again & again) — all his old faults reappearing...
Pointless blaming Bily — IMHO he is tired after a long season and a half...
Pointless blaming Peanuts — for once this season ineffectual and on the fringe.

Pointfull (???) — Moyes's substitutions — how many seasons (apart from Spurs 3 seasons ago) have we seen him make them when we need them? Everyone around me at half time was crying out for Bily or Osman off, Yak on, Cahill in the hole instead of playing so deep he couldn't find himself.

Perspective: 6th next season above Villa and Spurs... wow, way to go. No, time for a change. For the first time in 8 plus years — Davey, it's time to step aside.

We had no width on the right due to the Bily/Neville combination being totally ineffective. Bily is NOT a winger and whilst I believe his best position is in the hole behind the forward(s), I dont think he's got the bottle for the Premier League. He truly ducks out of challenges.

Neville is never going to be a good attacking fullback and Moyes's biggest problem next year is the Coleman/Neville choice.

On the left today Pienaar and Baines were competely sussed out by West Ham — credit to Zola. Their first-half display was okay but they didn't do anything second half - maybe Baines's knock is bad? ... we'll soon find out.

In the middle, I'm not sure what Osman and Cahill were up to. Osman seemed to be playing off Saha rather than Cahill. Heitinga did alright but there was no link-up play, as Arteta gives us and to a lesser extent Rodwell when he's playing well.

Up front, Saha had one of those days when he was ineffective, both West Ham centre halves did a good job on him. When he realises he's had, it he transgresses into Mr Not Interested mode.

I thought Jags and Distin did alright defensively but their distribution was woeful, particularly Jags. Not having a receiving midfield player didn't help. What the hell was Osman up to!?!

Overall, it showed once again when we really need to deliver, we freeze. We can play some of the best football, beating some decent teams... but when we need to scrape a result, we can't: Birmingham (Cup), Lisbon (Cup), today... and I suspect more to come as yet this season.

One last point , where the hell is Anichebe , the lad spends more time in Basil's treatment room. For a young lad so big, he's got a heart like a pussycat.
