West Ham haven’t been that good to be fair. I would love to hear what Smith says after each game?

Blames the officials.

Trouble with today, the players have never looked like they believe they can win here. They look beaten from the first kick, same goes with last week at Arsenal.

Wolves game has killed our mentality.

Nakamba really is quite hopeless.

We do look like a team who need a change of direction. I think defeat at Southampton on Sky next will see the end of Smiths reign, they will then have the international break to try and stop the rot.

Nakamba is a total passenger.   Offers nothing.

Agreed, puts in a shift but no impact

Fucking hell Nakamba.

That's his real name on his birth certificate. Marvellous is just a nickname. He'd fit in with the team that got relegated. He's fucking rubbish.

He should never ever play for us again.
I’d rather use the kids.

Wasn't we 2-0 up and lost 2-3 against Leicester the year we went down?

The fact that we have Young and Nakamba in central midfield suggests that, recruitment wise, someone has dropped a brick somewhere.

Yeah watching Nakamba attempt to pass the ball sometimes is incredibly painful.

Think West Ham are just happy to play out the 1-2 here. Put Lanzini on just to get more possesion of the ball and not throwing too many forward for the counters.

How Young is still on the pitch is incredulous.
