Just reading thru twitter the consensus seems to be that
Firpo not hitting the ground running is now a major concern and that he is not offering us anything going forward.
——
Whoever is saying that on Twitter either didn’t watch the game or didn’t understand it.
Going forward was the best part of his game today. Overlapped well and was composed in the box to play two cut backs - 1 for Dallas shot in first half. Defensively he didn’t look perfect but none of the team did
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Twitter does have some hard to please types and maybe because they have seen Firpo own goal they've roasted him unfairly but roasted him they have in their droves.
Who would like the Brentford manager as Bielsa's successor?
That’s the reason I deleted Twitter a while ago, for every positive comment there are 100 negative ones
Just had a look at the highlights, Klich really should have scored there, could have layed it to Harrison as well. Their equaliser was double deflected too…we do get very unlucky sometimes don’t we?
I'm disappointed and gutted that we're having such a bad start to the season. Ultimately... 3 points from 6 games isn't good enough. That turnover is relegation territory. We can put in good performances individuals can be brilliant but its the points that count.
They had plenty of shots on goal that were blocked, law of averages say a few are going to squeeze through and they could go anywhere.
We were seriously lacking in creativity in the 2nd half and as has been the case this season looking jaded.
Dallas has been great for us but looks a shadow of a player lately, Ayling also looking out of sorts.
We need a Hernandez and a new upgraded energiser bunny pronto.
Still think we'll be OK but it could be a long season.
Carajo I did the same for that reason
It was also full of extreme left or right types who are drainers
Life feels less stressful not being on it
I think 38 points should keep a team up this season so if we win next week at home to Watford it's 7 points from 7 games and won't look so bad.

Sorry 6 points from 7. We have lost 3 games to 3 sides who finished well above us last season and will this season too.
On the positive we haven't lost to anyone that finished below us last season so potentially 11 teams we will over the season do well against and gain the points needed to reach safety all be it may be with only a few games to go.
I’m not worried yet, but we do need to get a win. First half we looked good today and Raphinha could have had two.
Second half Klich had the chance to finish them off but somehow it was deflected wide for a corner.
My concerns are Rodrigo doesn’t look like a striker nor a number 10 really. Plus I think Philips either needs a rest or he’s playing on his England reputation at the moment. Slow in possession at times and sloppy with a few passes.
Last ten minutes I said to my lad that I’d take a point. We looked out of ideas and a bit all over the shop.
Give West Ham credit though - they are a well drilled side and play to their strengths.
Gutted we lost though - that’s two games I’ve been to in the PL and we’ve lost both. Fortunately I’ll be watching from Portugal next game.
Putting any stock in the table right now is just silly. Removes all context. Reality is that we have played four of the best 8 teams in the division in our first 6, and acquitted ourselves well against two of them. The two more winnable games have both been at home.
We have a more favourable run coming, and it we are still down there at the end of that, then it.might be worrying time, but I'm confident we won't be
Also Rodrigo was excellent for the first 60 minutes, but we struggled to utilise him as the second half went on.

I like reading comments but my god times were better when that heap didn't exist. Its awful on there. I found supporting a team or sports player was more enjoyable when you weren't dragged into toxic online battles.
Why do you think Bielsa doesn't put Gelhardt on when he is supposed to be the great spotter of talent whatever their age but plays safe and we lose anyway.
Maybe next week he will finally blood this lad like he was forced to today with Cresswell and Cresswell rose to the challenge and didn't let him down.
Gelhardt to me looks a similar temprement and I reckon if he was in the Liverpool squad Klopp would have used him a few times off the bench by now in a league match.
It doesnt seem to be Bielsas way just to give young players game time, Cresswell only got in the side today because Ayling felt something wrong with his knee this morning,
Sure i read a fun fact the other day that Bielsa has handed 40 player their debut and 18 of them were under the age off 22.

A win against Watford is starting to look like an essential requirement. If we do not pick up full points against the likes of them then I will be really worried.

I saw some nice play from him but his job was essentially to score and he was lacking in that department for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I think he will be a good player for us once we realise how best to use him. Personally I think it’s probably with two up top but who am I to question Bielsa?

My issue with it as well. I still dip in for footy updates but try and stay off the political stuff as much as I can.
I’ve found the best way to negotiate idiots is just to block them. Leeds fans too if they start dissing players and tagging them.
