UH-HO its Mike Dean

Well, it's the battle of the CLARETS!

Keeping an eye on Haller. He has impressed me with his technical ability and an eye for the goal.

My money on him to win the game tonight

Sorry Villa!

What a poor decision that was to send off Masuaku just now. Nevertheless-come on Villa!

Great decision. My respect for Mike Dean has gone up.

Enjoyed the match. Bit messy but evenly balanced. West Ham looked more composed, we created the better chances. Our defence was rock solid. Further forwards we had good moments but things often weren't quite clicking.

Draw was a fair result. And we're out of the drop zone. Just.

Why was it a great decision? Do you not agree Wesley should be banned for such a ridiculous dive? Mcinn and mings could have been off too.


Ah that is why your respect for him has gone up, because he gave you most decisions

To be fair McParland it was the wrong decision. Wasn't a 2nd yellow but didn't help us anyway, we were actually worse playing against 10.

Let's start with the positives. Defence is good. Engels and Guilbert are quality and should get national team call ups if they continue to perform, Mings colossal again. Marvelous Nakamba looked assured in the DM role though did make a couple of sloppy passes. McGinn again stood out.

Negatives - no goals again. Too early to write him off but Wesley just doesn't look a threat. Don't think he'll get more than 10 this season if we're lucky and we'll be in desperate need of a striker in January. Our wingers not good enough, El Ghazi too obvious and Jota too lightweight and lacking enough quality at this level. Hopefully Trezeguet comes good. Grealish trying too hard and his creativity is lacking at this level compared to the Championship.

Next five games are:
Arsenal (a)
Burnley (h)
Norwich (a)
Brighton (h)
Man City (a)

Need to be aiming for 7 points imo, assuming we lose at Arsenal and City we need to be winning the two home games and getting at least a draw at Norwich.

The fans are turning up and supporting the team, over 40,000 in all three of our home games so far. Need the team to start winning some games and proving they can stay in this league and compete.

Had to watch on tv as Monday Night thought all defence were good.

People have a go at Wesley but service was atrocious.

Mcginn excellent and for first game I liked Marvellous.

El Ghazi and Jota were awful can't see how Hourihane isn't getting a go.

Also Grealish very poor at times, to me just seems a little casual.

Onwards and upwards hopefully and Mike Dean bless him was shiiiit.

UTV

Won't hear a word against Mike Dean. He showed great objective judgement Some refs would have chickened out of the second yellow. Not Mike.

Thought Grealish was fine until he was in the final third, and then invited too much pressure. Looking forwards to the Arsenal game. They will be on the attack, which should create more chances.
