Centre mid pairing was the issue for me. Bentaleb looked liked he was still on his hols and gave away the ball cheaply which led to their goal. Dier is not a holding midfielder either.

Thought Walker did ok against Young but as ever is always only a couple of seconds away from doing something stupid...

Enjoyed the 1st 20 - generated very little after that and looked like no one wanted to have a pop at goal

Last week we played Real Madrid and Inter. we looked match sharp in the first twenty, tired for the rest.

Talksport were puffing the Arsenal game as "West Ham against title contenders, Arsenal". First weekend of the season. So, next week, it will shirley be, "Relegation threatened, Arsenal".

[JustinF]

it's OK as long as you turn off Durham and Gough, one could start an argument in the mirror and the other hasn't the brains to realise he's talking to his reflection.

One that slipped through?

West Ham midfielder Reece Oxford has revealed that Tottenham rejected the chance to sign him before he joined West Ham.

The 16-year-old, who made his Premier League debut against Arsenal on Sunday, joined West Ham at under-13 level after leaving Tottenham where he played as a striker.

"I was at Tottenham for a while, but they did not want me, and I went to West Ham, which was the best option for me," said the teenager, who is scheduled to receive his GCSE results next week.

Are we in the process of signing up anyone to assist with scoring goals? Or are we just relying on Kane and Erickson this season?

Really hope there is someone else in the pipeline over the next two weeks or so.

One thing I noticed from the game Sat with you guys (commentator brought it up too) is how wide you have your CB's when you are starting the play - you will get caught this season a few times I think on this - if the guy getting the ball is not sharp he is going to get caught in possession a number of times and then your CB's are nowhere near the ball to recover.,Risky strategy.

[HRL]

I know, I know.

Bentaleb was a liability on Saturday. He needs to practise passing the damn ball!
