I’d be fuming with Moyes if I was a West Ham fan. He set that team up to defend from minute 1. When I saw the starting eleven I actually double checked I had the fixture right. Home to Brighton but set up as if away to Man City. Then the game started and they seemed content to sit and counter. half time changed it up and looked much better for it. But the mindset to play like that against Brighton. Shocking from Moyes.

The most shocking thing I saw today was the Burnley “goal” that was ruled out for a foul on the Leeds goalkeeper, despite it being very clear that it was actually the ‘keeper doing the fouling!
Don't get me wrong Oohaah. By rights, as my Dad for a couple of seasons when I was 7 or 8 would take me one week to watch us and the next to White Hart Lane, Spurs are my second side. But watching a Bill Nicholson side, with Jimmy Greaves, Dave Mackay, Jimmy Robertson, Alan Gilzean, Alan Mullery and Terry Venables, trying to play football is so far removed from the way that Mourinho sets up this side that nothing would annoy me more than see them win the PL.
Which they won't because as I've said countless times their over reliance on Kane and Son week in week out as virtually their only attacking outlets will make it almost impossible for them to do so.
Just looked at the table and Everton are 2nd. WTF?!!
And if City and United win their respective games in hand then the cities of Liverpool and Manchester will occupy the top four spots
It’s been very poor this season. I think if Liverpool had started this season like last season they’d be about 15 points clear! Nobody has really closed the gap, Liverpool have suffered defensively with injuries and have dropped silly points (5 draws from 15).

I think we've got a few posters who also have Spurs as their second team by how excited some of them get on here with talk of a title!
On a separate point, with the premier league wide open and so many unpredictable results, I'd have thought it would be exciting this year, but it feels so dead and soulless to me. I haven't even kept up with my fantasy team.
See Mourinho has said that 'defending deep is not my intention' and questions the ambition of his players not going for more goals.
Not his fault then although he's the manager and dictates the tactics, Teflon Jose.
There's one thing playing that way and getting results but playing that way and squandering results is galling to say the least.
Can maybe understand playing that way at Anfield or Stamford Bridge but christ, its every opponent now, home and away. The natives are growing restless.
Zaha is such a whiny little bitch isnt he? - Had similar issue with Oshilaja in a friendly
If he got booked every time he kicked the ball away in a huff I’m convinced he’d pick up about 15 yellow cards a season, he always seem to get away with it though.

Especially on that occasion, wasnt just a slight kick of the ball away
