I’ll disagree with you on this but I do agree we need more in terms of chances and goals from him but he’s still probing and trying to make things happen

And cross g from wide areas although when we do we generally hit the first man
Disappointing not to win, especially having dominated the ball so much, but then again we played against 12 men for a lot of that game, the ref was a homer if ever there was one, so so poor. Shocking concession of a goal, nothing worse than conceding from set pieces and we really need to figure out how to protect our keeper sooner rather than later, all teams are targeting him now. A lot of silly set pieces conceded as well, putting oursleves under unnecessary pressure.
Think Ange has been so good for the club this year, but his one defining fault may be his subs, so often they are baffling and more often than not seem to kill our momentum, happened again tonight.
Oh well, 2 pts dropped more than one gained, we will have to beat Forest at the weekend to kick on again, as a few difficult fixtures are on the horizon.

If todays performance was ‘good’ our standards have fallen off a cliff
Madders in the beginning of the season was ‘good’
His performance today was average
Was less Maddison more Baddison today, doesn't look fit at all and he'll probably not be back to his best till next season now.
He was brilliant at the start of the season. I’m not saying he’s been great lately but he was our most likely along with bentancur to create something tonight and when they went off I felt the game was only going to end in a draw.
The comical nature of cat-kicker's goal has to be a wake-up call on this zonal marking pish.
Don't know enough about Mille's coaching but the set piece setup is heart-in-mouth stuff every time. Defenders running away from obvious goal threats and Vic boxed in to try and flap it away. Should have kept Gianni.

Makes a good point. Bollox to xG... Gascoigne's gonna have a crack, he is you know.
I'd rather we lost possession more having a go than tapping it around and gifting a counter with wayward passes. Let players trust their intuition a bit more.
Fair enough but if he's going to keep playing like he has over the last 2 months (in general), he needs a kick up the ass because he's been bang average by any PL standard. Nowhere near good enough to be a starter every week for a top 4 side.
Really? He seemed to be doing serious donkey work on the wing for Spam tonight to me? Put in a real shift?
Moyes doesn’t even play him in the kind of free number 10 role which would exonerate him from work, he plays him on the wing where he can’t hide.
I was on the lower tier for the first half.
Decided to move to the upper tier as I couldn't see anything.
Made me walk around the entire stadium in the pissing rain just to get to our gate.
Fucking shit ground for watching football, but they're set piece FC so it's not really football there anyway! Probably won't bother going there again. One and done for me.
Sold their soul for that shithole was a great way to put it!
Exactly this. Too many ‘not quite’ good enough or who we hope might come good/have potential. Werner particularly for me tonight is a shining (or not so)example of this. He show’s quality, can beat a man, gets in good positions and then when a decent cross comes in at the far post, he’s not expecting it at all. Could’ve had at least another two goals tonight with proper quality in his position.
I'm really not sure Porro is in that bracket.
Absolutely fuggin spot on analysis. Take a boo son
A few points from the game:
1. We didn't learn from the last game against West Ham
2. I don't think Bentancur continually gives the ball away in his own third under Conte
3. All you need to do to beat us is work hard, do the basics right, and press in our own third
4. West Ham had the clearer opportunities
5. Refs aren't giving clear fouls against us and neither is VAR, e.g. Maddison on the edge of their box
6. Even though Werner and Johnson linked to score, I feel we do better shape wise with Richarlison and Kulu starting
7. West Ham fans are idiots for wanting their most successful manager out

No, he's more than a bumbler. He's the best vector for getting the ball in the box in the PL.

As I keep saying, I get why clubs playing against deep blocks would find a use for a player like Doku.
He bumbles his way in the box. What happens after that is invariably quite shit. Getting the ball in to dangerous areas only to not assist or score isn’t that useful.
Of course, he’s only 21 so that side could come. But he’s essentially good at one thing and one thing only.
