Interesting team selection. COYI.

Tevez for remainder of the season would've been quality.

Ah the days of the excitement of watching Tevez or DiCanio

[Hammer67]

Jesus, Rio and the BT twunt going straight at it about us not buying a striker.

Who though? Name some names then if it is so easy to instantly go and buy guaranteed goals FFS.

The last one we bought was about as much use as handbrake on a canoe.

Anyone know where to watch the game if you don’t have BT sport?

[RichB]

Blooming Karen Carney might have been a good footballer but so boring as a 'summariser'!

Sheff Utd are taking control, our out balls to the front as expected are pretty ineffectual. A little break with a Lingard shot but otherwise they are settling in around the box. Yes we could have got someone in on loan over Jan, other clubs did, in fact some that did had them scoring this weekend. To leave us without any striker, of any sort, is utter failure on our part.

Im hoping we can stay solid and hit them on the break, not how a team in the top half should be playing against a team in the relegation zone but thats how we have set up our club to be with lack of depth in a key area.

Bit wasteful in possession again in the middle of the park ...




Hang on ..our first Pen..

[TCEvo]

Boom!

Also answers our debate last week as to who would take a pen (nobody guessed Rice).

He struck it well too. Hit the side netting rather than the back of the goal, pretty well unstoppable.

That was some effort for Sheffield Utd to give away that penalty. Primary school football

Said so on radio - confident hit (had to be after taking the ball off Lingard )

[coldel]

Penno! Goes off to have dinner and come back and we have actually got a penalty! Sounds like from the above we were a touch fortunate? Good penalty though, Rice has been hitting a few freekicks lately as well. Never had him down as taking one though.

Confused about Benrahma, he looks in so much better form than Bowen at the moment I dont understand why Bowen is playing. Maybe he will come on second half when we invariably need more energy on the break.

[coldel]

They are really controlling the game here, we need to get some sort of out ball up the field, only ahead thanks to a great Fab save. Bowen is strolling about waving his arms about everytime he makes a mess of it, totally out of sorts.

[sjc]

Great bit of football to win the corner and a great delivery from it. The build up must have been 15/20 passes.

[coldel]

Needed that! Great ball in.

[TCEvo]

Get in!

Quality.

Terrific...
Some cracking performances, Dawson again, lingard again, Johnson has a cracker, great to see Diop get his goal.

Fourth lads, 2 ahead of the champions ... just take that in... and still some whinge.

Main whinge is I can't watch them in person - would've been great to watch that demo job.

In true West Ham fashion we’ll be let back in on the last game of season where we need to avoid a 4 nil defeat to qualify for Europe .... and we go down 6-2.

[Hammer67]

Boom, great performance all round.

Striker short? Lightweight squad? No back up for Ant?

No mention of any of that from Rio and the BT twunt post match I see. Now it`s all Champions League here we come.
