Can see Pep using all 3 subs today.

Passing not as crisp. Looked a bit slow at times. Pressing isn’t really there. Nonetheless, Torres looks lively. Good cross and goal from Kev and Dias. West Ham deserved their goal as there were warning signs.

Sure Pep will tell Kev to keep it simple. A bit of energy is also needed. West Ham are getting out of their half too easily as the press isn’t the same as usual.

Could the BBC online coverage be any more bias - absolutely desperate for a West Ham win - the agenda against us is getting worse.

Foden Jesus and Bernardo on soon as possible
Need running

For the first time Fernandinho has looked like the oldest player on the pitch, hopefully it’s just a bad game rather than something that’ll continue but worries me. The whole midfield have looked about as useful as a wet paper bag for large parts of the game though so it’s not just him.

Silva for Kev
Phil for Torres

We need energy. Aguero, Mahrez, and Fern have to come off for Jesus, Sterling/Foden and Rodri.

Spot on. Those three have been awful. I reckon KDB (cross apart) has also been ordinary so too Gundo. Apart from Fern, the other 5 in midfield and up front have not performed. Really poor first half.

Only positive really from that half is we aren’t behind. Need much more movement and energy but it’s understandable considering Europe on weds, sat lunch game and a lot of players who haven’t played recently. Need to be much better next half.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Well that was insipid. I know we have to get Kevin and Aguero up to speed but not at the expense on the match!

 

[Dirty Harry]

Causing our own problems here atm.
