Who’s our next manager? said:

Not a free kick, was our player deliberately blocked and should Bale have had a penalty?
When do things go our way.
Look at City yesterday, should Walker have given away a penalty for his dangerous high foot and should Aguero have been sent off for handling the young girl assistant referee. The rules say they should.

Although I agree with everything you’ve said it was our own mistakes that cost us. Sissoko gave away a stupid foul for their first, the own goal was farcical, Aurier should have put it out for a throw rather than allowing the West Ham player to nip in, and Winks’ attempted clearance was a joke. Despite the calls not going our way we should have seen out the game and poor moments from untrustworthy players are what did us in.

Looking at our fixtures it could be mid December until we win at home in the league!

Sanchez had too many moments that we can't get away from...but i wouldn't pin that result squarely on him. Our game management was poor..To be 3 up and allow Wet Spam to score 3 on answered goals isn't good enough.

Like I said it wasn't the best game from Sanchez but if you could stomach watching the game again look at how poor Toby was even playing on his favoured right side.

The problem with us when such decisions doesnt go our way, we accept and retreat most of the times.

Sometimes i wish they would make a big fuss for example the foul by aurier which wasnt, this makes simple psychology the referee would think twice before blowing against us.

They have gone all forgotten to become the intelligent ****s when our Argentine players are not playing.

Had a chance to cool off after that huge disappointment and trying to be level headed.

Such a shame to end the game like that after such a brilliant start. Unlike Newcastle you can't blame the attackers for not killing the game off. That's 4 points dropped from winning positions at home already, albeit in quite unfortunate circumstances in both (that Lanzini shot was 1 in 100 at best).

Our weak links in the squad cost us today. Weakness at CB, Aurier and Sissoko giving soft fouls and Winks should have cleared his lines at the end.

I think we'll be seeing Rodon much earlier than expected after that.

The important thing is the team doesn't let this stop their momentum, it's a hugely disappointing result but again it was a game we should (and normally would) have won.

Van Dijk's injury blows the league wide open, everyone is showing weaknesses defensively. We need to shake this off and go on a run now. COYS

Gutted, yes. Excellent first half performance? Yes. Trash second half? Yes. Got what we deserved? Yes. Confident the season will throw up bizarre result after bizarre result for other teams too? Yeah. It's going to be a weird season. We'll win more than we'll lose. That's about where we are. Next season, we might have a tilt.

I'm still annoyed, and I still think our defending is poor, but we bounced back well from the Everton and Newcastle games so hopefully we bounce back again, and somehow iron out these mistakes and brain farts.

As bad as the defending was, if you keep inviting pressure and conceding possesion, then this will just keep happening.
Over and over and over again.

But does it not occured to you that a poor Toby or Dier could be attributed to having a Sanchez playing beside them?

I'm actually seething.

How on earth have we managed to bottle that with only 10 or so minutes to go? We can have the best attack in the world, but with a defence that bad we're not going to win anything.

Another thing that really annoys me is how many stupid and needless fouls we give away in dangerous areas. Everyone and their dog could see it was the only way West Ham were going to cause problems. I really hope this is just a freak result. But it seems to be becoming a common occurrence, which is very concerning.

Felt worse after Newcastle to be honest.

Think the 4 dropped points are going to cost us at the end of the season

José screwed that up well and truly. We came out second half with 11 players behind the ball and invited them on. We're simply not good enough to win a game by being passive. We have to attack. If we let the other team attack us, we'll concede goals. Against anyone.
