Once again we're struggling up front the extra numbers are not creating the competition for places we'd hoped for,Mido and Franco did'nt muster a decent chance between them and Cole quite clearly isn't fit,McCarthy looked ok when he came on so hopefully he can find some form.As for the rest i thought deprela played well as did Tomkins and the rest were either average or very up and down,as for noble i just do'nt know whats happend to the lad. Arsenal came out second half set up not to conceed and had ten men behind the ball,and hit us on the break.Their for the taking get real there going for the title! we did'nt expect anything and did'nt get it.If the penalty had gone in the second half would of been very different,and by the way it should of been retaken Almunia was a mile of his line.

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:48:58 +0000 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2010/02/23/vote-player-performances-v-manchester-united/#IDComment58423385 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2010/02/23/vote-player-performances-v-manchester-united/#IDComment58420967 Ok guys time for a reality check after two good results at home we're beating ourselves up for loosing away at Old Trafford.Did'nt have a great link so gave up and listened on the radio so can't really comment on the second half but we did start well and if we were going to get anything from tonights game we really had to score first to give ourselves something to hang on to,lets face it united very rarely drop points at home and after a poor result at the weekend it was always going to be hard to get anything,and also with Vidic back they were a lot more solid at the back.But it does go to show how we have improved by the fact that we're alittle dissapointed with the performance and result,so lets move on and focus on the Bolton game it's our home form after all thats going to secure our survival.Also good news for us on the Pompy front looks like their going into administration on Friday unless they get a buyer so at least our 4 points are safe,do feel sorry for the Pompy fans though.

It's vital that what ever team the manager puts out there weather your a fan of his or not gets our full backing ,THE FANS HAVE TO BE BEHIND THE TEAM.!I don't care what the chairman has said ,our focus must be on the team tonight and not on Zola or the Chairmen i'll be there and i'll be right behind them from the of it's up to us to lift the team, i think we can go up to 14th if we win.COYI!!
