I think Antonio is worthy of a mention too. He looked dangerous also.

Yeah, I always hate going 2-0 up.

Surely West Ham will look at it from the perspective that after 58 mins they were losing 3 points so with two inspired subs who assisted in a goal each, that they saved 2 points.
Hence we lost those points.
No brainer really.

Yes, and the context is West Ham have had a decent December taking 15 points out of 21 with Felipe Anderson in great form, Arnautovic a beast and Pellegrini throwing on all his subs with instructions for Noble and Antonio to come at us hard. This is the Premier League, it's not like coasting home against Burton Albion or Rotherham.

Exactly my point, regardless of who we’re playing, we need to close out the game after going 2 up with half an hour remaining. In this context it has to be considered points dropped
If the question was put to us at the start of the match an away point is a point gained. After going 2-0 up in the second half you have to close the game out and keep it tight
Might feel different tomorrow morning but right now it's two dropped for me

There's no option of a fair pointThe players will feel like its two lost ...so I'll go with them.....but another point on the total in our quest to move into the top half of the table
Anyway couple of easy games coming up

Hope this doesn’t mean we will go back to toothless defensive away performances again, because we shipped 2 silly goals?
I’d take the point but definitely disappointed.
We’ve taken 5 points in our last 3 games. Huddersfield have taken 10 all season...

I hope I have, because what you wrote was bollocks the way I read it.

Ok I concede I should replace Horrible with Dangerous reading it back. [emoji106]

Players like Arnautovic and Anderson are capable of turning a game, they are match winners and that's why they're on the big bucks.
Tonight Pellegrini picked the wrong team but his substitutions changed the game. The match lasts for 90 minutes, so still a point gained for me.

I’m usually a grumpy ******* about points dropped but West Ham played very well in their purple patch. A fair result really. I thought overall we kept the ball better than we have many times at the Amex this season and that was a massive positive for me
The team are developing well and fears that Hughton would shrink back to overly defensive football are being proven wrong (and I say this as someone who has shared those fears at odd times)
I’m actually looking forward to the Liverpool and not sure I’d have said that a few weeks ago

FFS. When we were 2 up I thought 'snap your arm off for 2-2 now'. Seriously.

Might fist my eyeball if I read one more red hot "point would have been great beforehand" take on Twitter. But considering how extraordinarily dull the first half was, and how averse we were to attacking away from home last season, the second half was a right laugh. Plus we've reversed the comedy curse of constantly conceding from corners. Need a keeper, though. Wish Nikki hadnae gone. Bet Kuipers could still do a job

Anderson was terrible tonight.

But on another day if Arnautovic doesn't get you he can. I was just trying to say that they've got match winners, even if the team plays crap for 70 minutes can pull something out of the bag.

Totally agree.
And without going all "Hereford", just reading that post back again is mildly surreal for me.
