well done Gayle, your stupidity made the 2nd half one of the most uncomfortable I've seen in a long while. only one team was ever going to win that after the red card.
It was a decent game when it was 11-a-side. Gayle's inexplicable moment of madness made the second half a non-event for us. It was just a question of when they would score and despite the good defending we all knew they would eventually get that goal.
Still no draw, I've forgotten what sharing the spoils is like.
Yep the first half was decent, and then everything changed with the red card. We really need Wickham or Chamakh back quickly. Gayle does some things really well, but I never feel confident with him leading the attack.
I'll be quite pleased if Clatternberg never comes back to Selurst.
West Ham played the best ansd deserved to win - simples
Come on youuuuuuuuuuuu Ironnnnnnnnnnnnns!
behave... you only won cos we had 10 men... when it was 11 a side we were the better team...
not sure what was going on with gayle... from the 1st whistle he looked like someone that had been given an extra adrenalin shot or something, he was running around and going in to challenges like a loon... and it ended up costing us the game...
Leicester have shipped goals for fun this season, the biggest disappointment is that it's taken us to go a goal down to start having a go at their defence.
Poor result. Honestly can't fathom why we didn't have a right go at them from the start knowing how leaky their defence has been all season. That said it's now only 1 goal from open play in 6 matches which is a concern. Makes you wonder even more why we let Murray go, especially when you see some of the abject shooting from our wingers.
dunno what pards was going on about in the after match interview saying we did well apart from that one mistake, it's been pointed out how crap leicester's defence is and we did nothing on an attacking front until after they scored and even then it just looked desperate a lot of the time...
... for me it's time to drop bolasie, play punch & zaha out wide and put cabaye in the hole behind the striker. then bring in ledley or jedinak to partner mcarthur... hopefully wickham is back next week too, at least he knows how to hold a ball up...
Whilst we didn't threaten until the end, that would almost certainly have ended 0-0 were it not for that one ****-up. Although we should have had at least one penalty again today...
People talk about needing a striker, but we signed one and just got shit luck with his injury! We do need Wickham back quickly.
I'm as much concerned about our creativity though. Bolasie's back to his inconsistent worst, and Puncheon's completely out of form.

Yep, agreed. and taking up Bandit's point above maybe it's time for both Bolasie and Puncheon to be dropped/rested and Sako and Zaha to start with Cabaye pushed forward in to the Puncheon role and either Ledley or Jedinak to partner McArthur?

Gayle sent off right at the end, stupid challenge considering he was already on a yellow. we're going to be really up against it now.

I think I'd like both Ledley and Zaha on for the second half.
Bolasie had a stinker.
the sooner Ward & Souare are back in as full backs the better.
23 league games now without a draw!

So if we live in Denmark, or have a large satellite dish, we could watch it live?

good to see Ward back & on the bench.
awful defending and lacklustre in general. a stroll for City.
