back from my exotic jaunt to sunderrrrland and how there fans viewed some of our players was very interesting...being amongst the natives for the match it did not take long for them to workout I was a foreigner!! but there was no hint of violence just the odd piss take and by HT quite a few were mentioning how they expected to lose the match when jenks knocked in the goal on HT....payet what a player how did you manage to get him they laughed when I told them many west ham fans asking that question but very happy we have him...they loved sakho and his tireless running even for lost causes canna go ta sleep with him around I grasped from the native language Adrian the liked because he has character...not the best gk they said but more reliable than many in the prem....noble seems ok but he loses concentration and the ball chases back brings players down and gets booked regular sigh how could I disagree with that one! this lanzini he's a helluva player get a few pies in him and he will last the season didn't we try that with Benni lol..... my last words with those around me was to warn them not to give hippo head the job and many of them agreed but with the players we have he will probably be the only one able to keep us up....my mate the sunderland fan who I went with sadly agreed so i'll enjoy ripping into him on a regular basis if it happens lol

Just been watching highlights from our previous games this season, i must say to me it feels like Mark Noble is a weak link in our team, he has giving away possession many times which either lead to a goal or an goal scoring opportunity for the other team. I would have Song playing as our defensive mid ( when fit ) or Kouyate.

To be honest i think Bilic made a mistake by making him Captain because that makes it difficult for Bilic not to have him as a starter because he is the team Captain.

I love the guy, he is a great player to have and i know he is West Ham through and through but i would of liked to see Reid as our Captain. He is a guaranteed starter and i think he can be great commanding from the back.

Before anyone starts with the 'what do you know about football etc', this is just my opinion, we all support the mighty Hammers and are entitled to our own opinion.

We seem to have a problem with our starter motor, obviously the concentration level is not that great too.
Every time we play we seem to give away goals from simple defensive errors, it cannot keep going on like this unless Adrian is Superman every week it is going to become a bigger problem.
What is the problem is it the new style and the requirement to play a faster slicker passing game than what we did under Sam , or is it nerves ? .The slack passing is costing us some decent points.
