West Ham post match

[RichC]

He's been slagged off to high heaven on here but credit where it's due sterling was looking very good today and I have no idea why he was taken off for the likes of Moses.
I sometimes think we forget that he's just turned 19, this is still a young kid developing and improving with a run of games

No problem with him being taken off, we need to manage him properly.

Had a really good game for us bar his finishing but impressed with his work rate, willingness to take players on and his combative play today.

To be honest you can give him the poor finishing. Lack of matches, only just getting back into the team now. Will take time to develop. At least he tries, attempts to get past players etc.

[RichC]

Ah his finishing doesn't worry me at all, he did all that was expected of him today for me and as you say he'll improve with the finishing the more game time he gets.

I'll be honest though, Moses has been pretty disappointing. Had high hopes for him. But he just doesnt seem to do a lot when given a chance. Its rubbish when he blocks a route for likes of Alberto, who seems to have a lot more potential and ability for me

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Missed the game but today was another very good day for us, Tottenham winning stopped it from being perfect.

Reading some of the comments I've been thinking it for a long time that Agger was overrated (by us) I think he's a good player but as a defender he's not the best. Give him to Barcelona and he'll look class but we need our defenders to be dominant and that's what I think he lacks. Love the lad though so I don't like having a dig at him, Sakho just brings that bit more to his play for me.

[Daniel 7]

I think he'd be destroyed at Barca as every mistake is magnified in central defence. He's nowhere near the level of Pique.

[poorscousertommy]

I think he would suit Barca. Think he is an excellent player still.

I do think sakho looks a beast though. Was excellent today. His heading ability is superb. Looks like he is going to burst the ball every time he heads it!

[Camble]

This is the first time in a very long time that I can remember where we've actually taken advantage of those dropping points around us.

If only we'd have beaten Hull, we'd be 1 point off the top!

[Leyton388]

The hull and Southampton games should have been 6 points and its such a shame we ****ed them up.

A lot of teams will **** up against Southampton. Over the season it will even itself out

[fin7]

Great save by Mignolet in the first save when the score was 0-0, thought he had a good game, composed with the ball at his feet and lovely throw to set Sterling off on the counter attack.

[Daniel 7]

It looked ok on highlights, but there were some really ropey moments with his distribution that didn;t make the cut. Great reflexes, huge question marks about his passing ability though.

This is the first time in a very long time that I can remember where we've actually taken advantage of those dropping points around us.

I remember earlier this season when we beat Sunderland 3-1 away, Spurs and Chelsea drew, United lost to West Brom and Man City lost to Villa. Today has been even better

I look at the glass half full, re. the Southampton game we've won 7 out of 8 home matches so we've been ruthless other than that match. Hull was very disappointing but every team has little slip ups like these. It was a bit of a reality check (which we probably needed) and we've got 6/6 points since then.

Well said.
