I've finally had a smoke, no thanks to the slowest lady ever in Tesco ...Having had time to reflect though, I suppose the absolute most important thing today was to not lose. As sad as that is I think we did "OK" by that remit.
West Ham have been playing very well and maybe overlooked us a bit, despite dominating for large portions of the game. Just everyone be thankful Nolan didn't come on and do his usual!
Also, big thanks to Brad for his wonderful 'keeping, looked almost unbeatable today. Special shout out to big bearded Baker putting his body on the line again as well, coming a long nicely this season.
We really, really need to start helping ourselves out! Constantly losing the ball, no one making themselves available for a simple pass, and sheer panic in possession 90% of the time. It must obviously come down to the coaching but we've got a lot of players who are only good "on their day" - a manager needs to be getting performances week in week out and I think that more than anything is why Lambert will probably be seen as a failure here. It is incredibly frustrating how low on confidence and short of ideas we look. To think of some of the scalps we've taken in Lamberts reign I geniunely do not understand how we're not more consistent (or rather less consistently shit). Its a very distant memory thinking back to Benteke, Andi & Gabby in good form terrorising defenses.
