What I can’t understand about Cornet is he never gets a game but he’s got a stand named after him.

Antonio and Ings start. Soucek on the bench. Ag for Zou.

COYI!!!
Would have started Cornet and wrapped Ant up in cotton wool til Thursday…hopefully he only does 60 mins.
Only way Cornet's getting on the pitch is if someone lobs a programme on.

Very surprised that he's started Ant.
This on TV anywhere?

Left on 72 & home now so missed the injury - hope he's OK.

Think our season's done as I can't see us winning again - PL or EL; assuming that's the case it's been a disappointing POS with a couple of exceptions.

As a postive, hopefully only a handful of games before Moyes goes.

Ps. just realised that I've only seen us win one game in 2024 (Brentford).

Think it’s 4 wins in the last 20 games.
Don’t know where to start with that today. Getting a bit sick of Paquetas indulgence and strops,lucky not to get straight red for his lash out,he’s now one yellow away from a two game ban and today he played like he’d put a bet on Fulham.
We had no drive,energy,gave the ball away constantly,didn’t track,and with 5 minutes to go at 2 down we’re passing it across the back four like ball was a deflating balloon.
Emerson,Fab Ings and Ant did “OK”, (other than his horrendous typical miss at the start)the rest were shameful.Could have lost by plenty more.
Fulham fans didn’t cover themselves in glory when Earthy was out cold on the pitch,it was obvious it was serious.

Thursday is all or nothing.

Only hope we have for Thurs is that BL are hungover from winning the German title - their 1-0 up at the moment. But they are too good/professional & are likely on for a league/cup double.

Struggling to generate any enthusiasm for the EL game at the moment.

The thing I noticed most today was that hardly any of the players take responsibility - ie, make a real effort to create space, go looking for the ball, race back to cover. It's something Bowen does well when he's at his best.

The one exception is Alvarez. I really rate the bloke. Also Kudus, come to think of it.

Feels like we've always lacked leaders on the pitch who are prepared to bk players who aren't giving 100%. Ironically the exception to this in the past was Paqueta (yeah I know). I've seen him a few times having a go at Antonio and the defence. He was infuriating today but I'd still rather have him in the team than J W-P or Johnson, both of whom seem to float through games like ghosts.

Johnson yet again just ambling back for the second goal,just like Thursday not getting out to the short corner.
Alvarez( like him as well) was really off it,kudus wasn’t great but didn’t really have anyone around him to play off.
Fulham going forward at 2 nil for a third with 4/5 players in the final third,something we can only dream of.

I left with about 10 mins to go.
Again a shambles. Moyes has to go, the majority just don't look interested. Paqueta is the most frustrating player I've ever seen at West Ham. Loads of talent, but can't differentiate between when to make a simple pass or do one of his circus tricks that fail 50% of the time.

And I hate to say it, I see Kudos now going the same way aswell.

And I also hope don't get anywhere near Europe because I HATE playing on a Sunday.

Apart from that, I'm feeling pretty positive........
