There's tribes deep in the Amazon that know it's wrong to play Hoolahan on the flank, ffs!

Not a bad half, but we must use our possession more careful. Martin wasted two really good situations and Naismith couldn't find pass. Nice spice to our game that we went for version of 4-2-3-1 again with lot of movement between wingers and attacking midfielder. Mayby Naismith suffered from this a bit as he had to play more at the wing than in previous games. 

As said we were bit wasteful with the ball, but good combinations between Howson, Redmond and Hoolahan. Hoolahan opened defence twice, but end product was poor. Jerome was in the pocket of centre backs, but then again specially Naismith had problems to link up with him.

We also had very high line and always in break ups I felt nervy, but defence managed to be succesful with their offside trap. Few unnecessary fouls near the box and some errors reading the game, but at least this far we didn't have to pay from those.

Hopefuly Jerome and Naismith find their rhythm in second half as we need to be more dangerous.

That is reason why Brady should play more up the field! What a goal and pressing from him

Hoolahan has been good form today. Glad he got his name in the stats.

Lack of marking for the first West Ham goal but I wouldn't really call it cheap, then quality for the second. I wouldn't say we threw it away. Decent draw against a decent team so it could be a turning point.

Quality for the second? Only if you call 5 or 6 defenders ballwatching and nobody picking up the painfully obvious run from outside the box, then yeah, top quality.

Russell Martin's lack of positional discipline and awareness is hilariously poor. Just goes where he wants.

Well yeah it was ok game, but first goal was a bit cheap. No one was ready for that break away and Klose was soft or Moses fouled him to get shot out of Brady's tackle. Still haven't seen the second, but after changes the game was West Ham's until the last few minutes. Don't know why energy levels dropped so much.

The thing is, yes we held on for a point when we could have wilted, but only because Emenike can't finish from a yard out.

To be fair it was clear foul from Carroll against Klose. Elbowing staight to the face.

Still West Ham managed to be more dangerous team even thought we had drivers seat almost 70 minutes from the game.

Emenike's lack of quality is nothing to do with us but we could have had a last minute winner and everyone would be saying what a brilliant game it was.

You just can't keep giving away 2 goal leads at home and expect to stay up.  I suspect come end of the season we'll look back at both WH games as crucial dropped points.

yes we could have won it at the end but they had better chances to win, and we should never have let them back into it.

with Sunderland winning I think things are pretty bleak.
