I thought we edged the first half; they edged the second. Both teams had half chances but not clear ones. I thought a draw would have been fair, probably 0-0

You say we edged the first half, but that is irrelevant because it was 0:0 at half time. They scored, and it was not a dodgy goal or penalty, and we did not. So no we deserved nothing.

We do not press properly, most of our attacks are pedestrian, we struggle to score goals and we are near the bottom of the league when it comes to distance covered. We are a rank average team with fans who got carried away because we scored 3 against a wretched team like Saudi Sportswashing Machine

I think most of us can see the flaws and I'm not huge Nuno fan, however West Ham are a difficult team to play against and despite us being in a transitional season and them being a settled team, it was very even

I think we have to think more about what was good for us, not what the market is. An ongoing issue with Levy. We would have got some decent players and a striker in with the money.

That only works if you have a manager who has full club backing and a definitive plan. Otherwise you’re simply seen as selling your best asset/being done by a rival. The truth is we made a terrible terrible decision in late 2019 and are still paying for it. I have sympathy for Nuno.

the level of regression in our club... jeez.

Usually i HATE losing to West Ham, because they're so beneath us. They're nothing to us. But this felt different.

Now, they're better than us. With better football. With a better manager. It was almost acceptable to lose, like the old Arsenal days because we're actually not good enough to compete with them. what a sorry state.

Their football today is exactly what people complained about us playing
 
at least we didn't lose 5-0 at home, but why do I still not feel appeased? we are lame in derbies, shudder what we'll do v brentford...

having a negative GD at this stage of the season says it all

Appreciate the negative reactions to games, but with all due respect I think you're over-reacting. Their football is defensive and dire; ours is just dire with no creativity. Today's game was pretty even

I think we'll finish 6th-9th but with poor football and lots of low scoring games. I think Nuno needs the upper end of that to survive into next season. I'm not a fan of his given the desperate football.

This season is a transitional one. More important is the transfer activity over the next couple windows and whether we can attract the right calibre players

Absolutely

I think most know we have an issue there
We have one no 10 in the squad in Lo Celso but he never plays there for us
We have a press resistant CM in Tanguy but he is played 10
Our full backs aren’t very creative but are no worse than most full backs on that front
The attack right now though has a big CF ossie in Kane. Today he was awful. He just got the basics wrong.
and we’re still crying out for quality RWF. Lucas has been very solid this season but today he was in all the wrong places with all the wrong touches

There's more in the squad that we're seeing. For us to have had the fewest shots this season in the PL, bar Norwich, doesnt fit with the quality of players

question is how low we drop in the league and whether Nuno gets the full season

We over rate these players, Kane has given up as well.

Where was the creativity coming from?
