    0-0 HT. Didn't enjoy a minute of that.
    They've been really hard to break down. Very organised and worked their arses off.
    We need to be more composed and patient, force them to run themselves ragged and take our chances.

    So, another away game where we haven't scored in the first half. We last managed it against Watford on New Years Day.

    Let's trust that we continue to be a second half away team.

    Well that was an awful watch. Need to go back to 343 cos we're vulnerable to counters and we need Eriksen deeper to set the tempo. Wouldn't hurt to have more up top as West Ham are shoving Kane all over the place and he aint getting anything.

    West Ham fans are rubbish. Booing and whistling is all they can manage, pathetic club in a pathetic stadium <laugh>

    The ref has been very inconsistent and has a spammers shirt on .we need poch to put a rocket up their arse at half time and bring dembele on for son .let's keep hold of the ball we are much better than we have shown so far we will wear them down and win the game. COYS

    Now I know I will never in a million years be qualified at this football malarky, but how about taking Dier off and bringing on Janssen? Nothing wrong with Dier but I don't think we need the extra defensive body there. Spurs need to stretch the WH defence.

  11. At the moment I don't think we can afford any lessening of our defensive make-up. They have been finding too much space so far.

  12. After a couple of early missed passes, Davies has done well - going forward positively but not getting caught out at the back. Unlike Walker........

    I don't like us with a back four. Too flat, too predictable and prone to simple diagonal balls. Get Dembele on and go to a back 3 with wing backs.

    It's all a bit obvious on that left hand side though. One of our attacking players is running to the left corner and passing the ball backwards 15 yards down the line to Davies, because he doesn't have the pace to get in behind them on his own. West Ham have sussed this and made any attack down the left completely redundant.
    We need to take much more advantage of the right hand side. There's been 1 or two good runs down there, as well as some nice intricate passes. We need to keep at it, as it'll also draw bookings if West Ham aren't disciplined with their defending.
