That was a brilliant second half performance. Absolutely brilliant

Take the point and regroup.  Need to win our next two home games and anything from the trip to the Etihad is a bonus.

I’m reading Sky’s report of the game saying our point was undeserved, what the fuck?!? So having the same shots and shots on goal whilst having 70% of posession as the away team doesn’t count as deserved?!? Fucking wankers

It says we’re undeserving of 3 points and I’d say that’s fair.

The thing about this game was just to get a result. 1-3 points. Chalk it up because Tottenham are liable to get all Spursy in games like Wolves and Fulham as we saw. And in fact, a point away at the Hammers is a decent result.

If we win our next three home games in the league, it should keep us in the driving seat and keep us well ahead of Utd. Not that we should write anything off but City Away is a banker for the FFP cheats. We're not gonna upset Liverpool or Arsenal I don't think. We won't have the legs to do it. Pick up points in everything else hopefully because Spurs have an awful 3 game run against the top 3 and I think they'll get picked apart.

Hopefully that's the last we see or Lenglet.
That’s nog fair, he has done a decent job during our defensive injuries run.

good point that - they have a good home record, we had 4 / 5 first teamer's out today, and i'd prefer the points to the game in hand. some of the criticism is mind boggling given what this manager and squad have done in the last 12 months.

Utd wont catch us. And after watching spurs implode yesterday, more confident than ever we will finish 4th

Happy tonight. UTV

That seems like a win to me. 3 points clear of Spuds.

They've got a game in hand.
It’s v Chelsea they won’t win that.
Oh why did you go and say that??

Lenglet didn't play for half a season and as a fifth choice centre half, has been fine and at times, very good. He didn't play well today but you could see some of that was attributable to playing on the right not left. Plus the centre halves all suffered on the ball because there was nobody to pass to first half.

I hate all this 'so and so gave one of the worst performances ever' or 'he should never play again' whenever a player has a poor game.

Not unless we’ve gone out and got another centre half.
It’s a squad game and everyone will play their part until the end of the season. The only cover we’ve got is Diego and he’s got legs made out of glass.

Much better second half after Unai made the changes, West Ham I thought were hanging on for the last 15 minutes yet they could have also nicked it.

West Ham are a boring team to watch and no wonder a lot of West Ham fans are not happy but it gets Moyes results.

A good and deserved point in the end. Not a particularly good performance but we have a heavily depleted team. I didn’t enjoy much of it.

You had to say it, didn't you?!
Ooops….sorry. Golden rule never say what you’re thinking when it comes to favoured results.

We missed McGinn. I have no idea why such an obvious handball at the end took nearly eight minutes to be given but they got it right in the end.

The blatant foul on Konsa was curiously ignored, shirt pulled. Both VAR decisions were correct but I thought we were soft as butter defending both set pieces.
We were fortunate to only be one down at half time. Rotten team selection corrected at half time and as a gutless West Ham team dropped back we owned the ball. Credit all the subs who made a big impression. Real quality assist from Diaby and Zaniolo with the break from midfield to score. Cash will a brilliant goal saving block, Digne was very good too.
Martinez 6 - could have been stronger at set pieces time and lucky to get away with the first VAR goal
Konsa 3 - appalling as always at right back, not great at centre back either, Cash saved his blushes after Kuddus destroyed him on that break
Lenglet 4 - poor but can blame Emery as he's only a RCB in an emergency. Right foot only for standing on and WHU clearly targeted him
Torres 4 - appalling first half and at fault for their goal. Playmaking skills to the fore in second half but one time he was ran at he couldn't cope, Moreno coming to the rescue. We missed Mings badly today
Moreno 5 - shite first half like everyone but maybe a bit harsh he was hooked early as he had improved
Luiz 7 - not sure if he broke sweat in the first half but dominated midfield in second. Gone a bit lazy with his tackling, gave away free kick at end
Tielemans 6 - genuine impression of a garden gnome in first half, much better in second but also very lucky to get away with losing the ball twice for two of their counters
Bailey 7 - always a threat I thought and worked hard too. Shooting was off today
Rogers 4 - turned his back on defending the cross for first goal, nice touches at times but miles off the standard
Duran 4 - ran around doing little or nothing. But more on Emery than him for the first half
Watkins 5 - bit lifeless today I thought

Cash 8 - extra point for saving that goal. Attacked well too. Struggles to pass the ball into midfield I've noticed
Diaby 8 - looked dangerous, worked hard and that was an assist of real quality
Zaniolo 7 - got the goal, we were crying out for someone to break from midfield and he did it, temperamental to put it mildly and should have got a second yellow
Digne 7 - just solid when he came on and gave us a constant outlet on left, poor decision not to start him

Emery 4 - got out of jail big time today. Wretched team selection and formatiom should have finished us. All the changes worked to get the point but should never have come it. He's tinkering far too much in recent games
