We deserve to be bottom 6 on performances.
we don't, but there is a lot of muck in this league, West Ham included, and we are throwing points away

That is not a problem if you have CBs who can add to the midfield. That part of the team isn't working. We need more from the CBs. And we don't have attacking width from our RWB. I like Royal, give him plaudits for his energy, commitment and defending, but he doesn't attack well yet. At 23 that is okay. He's a good player to bring on to defend a lead. He doesn't offer much attacking zeal tho.
Conte now needs to add in Lenglet if he can defend. And get our 3 CBs playing a lot better. They need to be part of the midfield when we are in possession. They need to step out of the backline at times. The whole side seem hesitant. The forwards too. Son and Kane not fully rested and in their flow either.
We were the better team until they got their goal11 points is as good as we would have been realistically hoping for from those fixtures and as you say 10 points up on last seasons fixtures too so all good on that front.
Performances have not really got going, i missed most of the second half tonight so can't comment on that but the first seemed ok to me.
Oh fudge up. We didn’t throw away 2 pts v Chelsea.
they got dingdonged by Southampton and Leeds, they are brick, we were crap on the day, as we were tonight
On chances created & conceded we are where we should be so swings and round abouts
You can’t have that in one game thoughThe bigger picture really.
Royal really hurts us
He shows for the ball but his passing is very limited
He works bloody hard and defends well
But this system needs attacking wing backs
apologies @Baleforce! Heat of the moment etc.
We didn’t get those games with these playersWhy have we looked so ‘turgid’ then? And yes that’s not the correct word but I think everyone on here knows how its being used as we had a whole saga of ‘turgid’. And thats what we were tonight. Where’s all the football from last season when we attacked and scored 3s and 4s?!
I’ll take a 10 point increase on last season this early
I mean we haven’t had easy games

Conte reluctant to change the CM tonight . PEH was limping second half clearly not good after that Rice tackle . We need Bentancur back Saturday . Skipp will be few weeks of training away from playing games I’d of thought.
Sanchez /Royale right side showed exactly what we saw last season it’s a bit shakey .
Disappointing evening but I thought it would be an ugly draw as played out.
Need to see a performance against Fulham and also I hope we do not see Dan James come in because that will be a very odd signing he’s utter toilet.
Feels a bit weird to me how Doherty has been so sidelined.
No the lay off winners were Brentford and that was a draw8, no? We didn't play Forest last season?
He won’t IMOPresumably DOherty will get a chance in the next couple games given matches are coming 2 per week
It might help show what having a natural RWB can add
