Fair play to Utd
But shouldn’t have been in that position, they have the quality players, but not necessarily in the right places 👍

Neville has it spot on.

Match going friends have been saying same for a long time. Hard to disagree if you scratch below the surface.

Result tonight doesn't change anything.

Jose has just thrown Mctominay under the bus. Classy.

I feel sorry for the Toon but if Utd fans are happy with that then they are kidding themselves. My son texted me at one point, Matic, Pogba, Smalling as the back three o_Oo_O:unsure:. If that is tactical genius..............Jose tried hard to lose his job tonight.

The injured player never came back on and he was injured by kicking the sole of Arnautovic's boot. Otherwise Arnautovic's would have been injured and looking to go off as he isn't the bravest.

Were you not bothered by the cheating?....Were you happy with Kayal jumping up in the air then rolling around play-acting to get Arnautovic booked?...........You claim to be a neutral Mickie but I suspect that when it comes to West Ham your nothing of the sort.

It may come as a surprise but as far as Premier League sides are concerned I am totally ambivalent.

I don't support nor dislike any of them.

As for time wasting and feigning injury is concerned, no I don't like it but name me one team in the PL (or any league) that doesn't resort to such practices when they feel circumstances dictate.

If we played like that second half more often, we’d not be talking about Jose being sacked but it takes us to go two down before we look at the races.

Looks an even better idea to fly Ozil to russia and back and bring him on at 2-0 up lol. In Iwobi and Wellbeck we trust :)

Don't think we need Ozilto much today anyway, way Fulham play better to have someone who will work harder for the team and press them higher up the pitch

stroll in the park that, Homie your boys took one helluva beating :)

where has Torreira been for the last 5+ years, nice to finally have one :) top 2 look very sharp, plenty to work on mind but nice to see some decent results being strung together

Speaking as a neutral can I ask how you reckon it was "a fake ankle injury" when the Brighton player had to be replaced?

Don't know about the ref being poor but I thought West Ham were very poor in the attacking third.

I thought was a proper injury but faked it was a head injury to get the game stopped

As for last bit 100%. We carved ourself a handful of chances but couldn’t finish them. Arnie had an off day for sure. The general should have buried that free header. At the end Perez should have cut it back to the group of players queuing up

Came out game with a lot of positives though. Plus Hernandez returned to training this week. For me if he had been the one coming on when we brought Perez on we would have scored at least 1. He is that fox on the box to finish those little chances we made at the end

That Ralls tackle was as blatant a red card as you’ll ever see. Not sure how any one could suggest otherwise.
Neil Warnock is a disgrace to football and should be banned for suggesting that assault was a yellow

Dier put it well on MOTD for me. There are many ways to foul a player on purpose to break up the attack without risking injury to them

Torreira a proper player, we've missed that for to many years, Auba & Laca forming a good front pairing, Mhiktaryan does more for the team collective than Ozil and Leno distribution is much better than Cech, starting to form the basis of a much better team the we've had in a long time, just need to keep developing now

Mourinho gets 20mil if he is sacked. If I were him I'd be praying for the boot!

That’ll do, top of the league, for the time being 😎

Records get broken at some time, is it time for City to win at Anfield 🤔
