im happy for the win, but we need more experience players in our attacking line. Its starting to show that sterling is young.
i dont understand why we push for possession football but when we need it the most we throw it out the window. After going 1 nil up thats when we should have kept the ball and frustrate west ham, instead we put ourselves under pressure by trying to kick the ball upfield every chance we get allowing west ham to attack again. Even when we get a break away none of the players in the front line has the right movements to make it payoff.
i really hope we fight until the next window opens to bring in some experience players.

Even before we went 1-0 up and in other games, sometimes we should just re-cycle the ball, keep posession and wait for a better opportunity to thread a pass through. Having said that, other times we accuse the team of going nowwhere with too much attempted tiki-taka. Whichever way we do it, it would be nice to see us control the game a little more.

Couldn't watch the game today and very happy we won, I was really expecting this. I'm a bit confused when I read the posts though, what's the problem, we didn't play well? Anyway, I prefer dirty wins than fantactic draws or losses. Wins is what we need right now.

The 1st 15 minutes I thought we were great, should have been 2 up, but for the rest of the game west ham dominated the game and we looked clueless until the last 15 minutes when we equalised and then decided to start playing again

thats why shelvey was put in as number 9 because cole with his back to goal would get pushed off the ball, the idea was that other midfielders make runs into the box and it worked, cole is not a striker any more than shelvey is ,but he has a sharper eye for the goal Shelvey couldn't hold the ball up all day and had awful touch. We got away with it because of two great balls in from Sterling (the only good thing he did all day) and Hendo. So I wouldn't say the false 9 worked... we overcame the limitations of it. so we won the game with three goals and no strikers and it was nothing to do with the job shelvey did? Do you think putting up a young yesil or morgan would have produced 3 goals today? I don't think so. I think they would have been pushed off the ball, bread and butter for allerdyce central defenders , shelvey was good at what he did today his first touch was bad but so was gerrard, and all the midfield except for lucas were poor. Sterlings first touch has been also bad for the last few games. Some fans are not happy unless there is a rafa thread shameful

We played really well for the first 15 mins and then Jose went off, we were poor for the rest of the game, great goal by Cole, lucky touch by Shelvey...
But, 4 pts off 4th and a real chance to climb by christmas....

No indication of a come back and a few of us were exchanging 'x is crap, y is cray, they're all crap' type messages in the shout box... as we were doing that Diabe got inujured soon followed by two quick goals. It just seemed to come from nowhere.

Hate is a strong word, but i hate Joe Cole, that said very clever finish out of him today with the dummy forcing the defender to slide early, thought Shelvey did ok up top showed good foot work once or twice in the last 20. If anyone takes negatives from today there's seriously something wrong with them as we were missing our main man and the win puts us 4 points off 4th with 2 home games on the trot to come. Im happy.

Also I think BR made a perfect last sub choice.
About 10 minutes left of the game and he takes Allen off and Coates on. More long balls were expected from West Ham, so we needed another tall defender on, which we got!
Great result! Thrilled!
