Antonio

Can't believe that he's selected poor Antonio at RB again! All that will do will gave ManU an open door down their left and wreck poor Antonio's confidence.............

Oh

Hope this doesn't backfire on us. Maybe Bilic thinks Anotnio will be able to mark Martial! Looks like game will be delayed now as some trouble.

He's done it again brain fart

He's done it again brain fart bilic

Arrogant Man United turn up late again

But it doesn't excuse the thuggish behaviour of a minority of fans.

It's gonna be a long night

It's gonna be a long night COYI

They done it on purpose...

They done it on purpose... should make them start as soon as they arrive

Yeah should have done what

Yeah should have done what the spuds officials done andy

COYI!

Nonio

Very strange he has picked Antonio at the back again. Disappointed by this attack on Manure 's coach also. Not a great start to the night! Could it get worse?

Would have preferred Collins

Would have preferred Collins instead of Reid. Not going to comment on Antonio as everyone has already said it. If we win Bilic is a genius if we lose he is a ~}#}%^.

Not impressed with the idiots

Not impressed with the idiots throwing cans etc at the man Utd bus. Not good for the club.

Sour

Well all this has soured the evening and channelled the focus on the hoodlums and not the football occasion

Had just enough time to see the first half

with the last singing of bubbles at the start of a match at the Boleyn ever, and these idiots have delayed it, and now I'm on my way to work. THANKS a LOT! (not). very disappointed to miss this match.

Yesssssssssss SAKHO!

Fantastic start and Antonio

Fantastic start and Antonio doing a job at right back.

So far so good harry!

Wish I was there !

Brilliant Sakho ..

Now get Valencia on Asap instead of Carroll ? .. What an atmosphere !

Carroll is winning a lot of

Carroll is winning a lot of ball, but in the wrong areas.

I think he's getting some

I think he's getting some really nice knock ons there just doesn't seem to be anyone running on

Carroll ffs!

We are giving them too much

We are giving them too much space now. Need to keep tight

Dont allow them

We musn't let them into the game. We need another to mess them up.

Payet ffs!

Got to take our chances harry

Got to take our chances harry should be 3.0 mate!

If we don't win this only got

If they don't win this only got themselves to blame

We have missed a bucketful

Let's hope we don't end up regretting those chances.

We have been the better team

Defensively, Antonio has answered his critics. Noble and Lanzini have run the midfield. Carroll has done well but needs more ball in the penalty area.

Antonio answered his critics?

Antonio answered his critics? Watch the second goal again and ask where the right back was? Also for the first goal ask yourself why he didn't get tight and goal side of martial rather than just run to the goaline? All the positions he took up were of a right midfielder. Great midfielder poor positional right back! Sloppy defence again but who cares, just the result that counts mom the referee for not spoiling the game for once.

Im sorry but in this day and

Im sorry but in this day and age, every team has attacking full backs and every team is susceptible to the counter attack. In its up to the center backs in these situations to cover and take up good positions. Antonios positioning was spot on for most of the game and both of there goals were in my opinion were a combo of Reid and Randolph. Also blaming Antonio for the first goal? Martial wasnt his man there nor did it come down his side. Antonios not a right back thats plain to see but today he did a solid job and by playing right back allowed us to play both sakho and carroll which is a big reason as to why we won, and if we'd lost it wouldnt have been antonios fault it wouldve been Reid, randolphs and the 2 BIG missed chances that couldve put us 2-0 up

Antonio was great today.

I agree with you fred. Antonio did not have a great game against Swansea, but he wasn't helped by Moses either and a lot of people were out of position (Reid, Kouyate ...). Today he was sooooo much better, and he equalised. The first United goal was basically made by a fantastic kick from De Gea, United's best player. But if you look at replays, Lanzini (the short guy) was contesting the header when it should have been Kouyate (the tall guy). If you cut out that long ball, no goal. The second United goal was most of all a great effort from Martial, but one can wonder whether Adrian gets that at the near post. But all in all, an absolutely superb fightback by West Ham, a victory for the ages, and something to tell the grandkids about.

Disagree Fred, no surprise I

Disagree Fred, no surprise I suppose. If Antonio was playing attacking midfield I'd give him mom no problem. He is infact my favourite player. I'm not really blaming him for the first goal infact I don't blame for his blame at right back. I blame bilic. Explaining what mean about the first goal is that any experienced right back would have naturally picked up martial. It just shows what we say about him not being a right back. How do you expect Reid or infact ogbonna to cover such a huge area created by no midfield cover and no cover from the full backs in a defensive mind? We basically play with 2 defenders! No co incidence we looked far more comfortable when a defender was put at right back and we had a defensive midfielder anchoring the midfielder. Our team play exposes our centre halves in a criminal way. As for why we won ok everyone gave everything but the crowd pulled the team through that game in the end. If that game is played at the o.s there is no way we win it when we go 2-1 down. Attacking full back maybe attacking midfielders playing full back rarely. Ok no doubt Randolph should have got the second but if Antonio is in position the ball isn't played down that side. So the defensive unit stays together. If Reid comes across it leaves a gap through the middle making us stretched. Not sure how you think Reid was to blame I'd we lost?
