Hermansen concedes 7 goals in 130 minutes~. That should be game over. More goals are there for the taking.

Some run and assist from Estevao.

If we get saved by VAR, we need to wake up. Looking a complete mess defensively.

That's more like it. A rare set piece goal.

A side that was played with by Sunderland. No one closing him down at all. If we are going to continue doing this, we aren't going to get anything.

So much for that. I hope Palmer's injury isn't serious.

I'm disappointed Josh is on the bench after his performance V Palace. Estevao not starting is slightly surprising as well, but I kind of understand it based on the style of football West Ham play. We need the three points today. No excuses.

I'd honestly be shocked if he ended up there. However, I do feel like the chance to sign Rogers has gone. Everything in the media has pointed to the higher ups being fond of Rogers. He would, in my opinion, play as a 10 instead, therefore Simons would be a no-go (seems like a cert unless someone swoops in). Now that we are so reliant on outgoings, it appears like any business we do wind up doing will be last minute.

It seems like they would both have to be certain deals. Either way, this would be the ideal scenario. Just feels like our final two attacking signings were decided weeks ago.

I have a bad feeling one of them won't go or we'll end up doing some stupid loan deal like we did with Sterling (believe we paid two thirds of his wage). Jackson to a Serie A seems like something that will build momentum should Villa not sell Watkins.

It's a shame he'll miss the second leg of the CL playoff V Celtic. Having CL football under his belt before joining us would be great for him.

Eze thrives playing centrally. Something that would have been a cert at Tottenham especially with Maddison's absence. I feel the answer will be no. He'll be far easier to read as well.

Same for Madueke. They aren't going to start, so they aren't doing much for their careers. I guess in Eze's case, it might have something to do with wanting to prove to the club he shouldn't have been released as a teen to begin with.

No idea why we are even entertaining them are our previous dealings.

Nkunku seems nailed on to leave over the coming days. Not sure how much we need before being able to spend freely.

This came showed one thing we're lacking massively - central goalscoring options. If Palmer isn't on his game, we have a hard time creating things. Rogers, Yildiz, or Simons need to be signed as soon as.

I feel like this game is calling out for Delap. We need more presence up front.

Pleased to see Maresca has faith in Acheampong. Him starting should put an end to all rumours about a potential departure as well.

Nkunku has some serious pedigree behind him especially in the Bundesliga. What does Jackson have, a red card record not to be proud of?

Are people just forgetting Anselmino is here and fit? There was a lot of promise surrounding him prior to signing, so why not use him?

Omari played 20 more games and was only involved in six more goals.

A really good football player with a lot of potential. Not to mention homegrown.

Chevalier with a competitive debut to forget. Hard to see PSG coming back now.

Serie A seems to be the new home for Scots. McTominay's MVP season will probably do wonders for that.

Fair enough. No change we'd even entertain it, so just something else for the clicks.
