3 or 4 times Giggs in acres of space, having to cross with the outside of his left foot.

Because we need someone to protect rafael.

Then why isn't Park playing?

It is plainly obvious we are missing him.

I don't know. Please don't shout at me.

I was shouting in general, not at you.

I would never shout at you Sparky

but unfortunately on goal difference. Got a draw written all over this.

I'll go 10quid at for 0-0 at 9/2

Bloody hell, I wish Berbatov would at least try and look interested. All his preening and pulling out of tackles is getting on my nerves.

I wish someone would find space and make an option for him.

Yep. Not a lot going on up front at the moment.

FWIW I think Zola has got them playing well... If Park is on the bench think he should get the 2nd half - we need some pace down the right,

We're a bit outnumbered in the middle, I'd want to bring Fletcher in and go 3 in the middle, freeing Ronaldo up a bit.

Nearly got himself injured by pulling out of that one in the middle of the park.

I'd love to see him played more centrally, real pace up top is what we're lacking, the two hammers centre backs are having it too easy atm.

Strange half that. Carlton Cole seems to be causing 1 or 2 problems but apart from that our biggest problem is the lack of options up front.

Me too. He's getting smothered on the left, always 2 or 3 to beat.

We need some pace and creativity on the other flank.

Would like to see Nani on the right.

Don't know who i'd take off though.

we just need to up the ante.

Yeah but how many times has he made a run past the last defender? So many times he drops deep and slows the game right down.

He hasnt been helped by Tevez being fairly ineffective, and Ronaldo being told to stay tight to the byline.

At the moment, West Ham look almost as likely to score as we do.

Tevez Giggs and Berbatov need to pull there fingers from there arses.

The later 2 being especially lax. Tevez needs to hold the £#%&!er in instead of turning into the West Ham central midfield every time.

Im not overly optimistic about us scoring here. It may take a fluke or lucky break (Berbatovs disallowed goal).

Get Park on and someone tell Ronnie to stop standing still whilst flapping his arms up and down.

Tevez off, Ronnie upfront and Nani wide left?

I think we'll see park at some point. Giggs won't last the 90 mins playing on the flank.
