Disappointing end to a quite positive half overall. We should be ahead, let alone behind.
 
Officiating been **** as usual. How that wasn't a pen for the challenge on Valencia is beyond me.
 
Very nice game so far

The " Lucas is a part of the furniture " crank me up.
 
Disappointing to go out, but overall a very satisfying night.

Youngsters impressed against what was on papar a far superior West Ham side, and the likes of Coutinho, Sturridge and Origi returned.

Benteke puts his chances away amongst some others in the original 90mins and we win the game. Just got to keep players fit and we'll improve in the league no end
 
And the difference Daniel Sturridge makes is utterly ridiculous.

Was he lively? needs a good run of games at least 7 or 8 before he will be sharp. Great from an England point of view he can help us to our regular quarter final place in the summer if he can stay healthy.

He just looked a class above.

obviously a bit of rust at first, but his control of the ball and ability to commit defenders is second to none

Will take time, the pros always say the first 1 or 2 matches you do on adrenaline its matches 4, 5 and 6 etc where you are breathing out your **** till you get match fit.
 
Nice game a bit aggressive but nice. We gained some new players today. And a few less games.

Remember a few weeks back when the chances created stat was rubished on here which lead to Sturridge being the major key between being where we are and being top 4 was similar rubished?

Tonight showed yet again had he been healthy, as poor as we've been we'd be up there looking at Leicester instead of ******* around dropping toward the middle of the pack.

Beat forward in the league not named Augero and it's not even close. Just keeping him healthy that's the continuing angst.

God I hope not. Stick with Vardy, Kane and Rooney.

He will go if healthy but he shouldn't. He needs a proper, normal summer of rest and then a proper pre-season. Not having it broken yet again with a tournament.



Cruel game that football. Didn't deserve that at all. But when you don't take chances and concede yet again to your Achilles heal it happens. Real pride night despite the gutting result. Kids outstanding again. Smith is gonna' be a player. Ilori looking more composed than most at the position this year. The non-penalty aside. Stewart solid again. (Disgraceful challenge on him the end the second half.). Tex worked his *** off. Even Ibe was far more direct. Lucas MOTM. Phil getting through what, 70/80 mins? And Sturridge a class above anything on the pitch and still going strong the end. Benteke actually moved today. But he's still *****. His golden misses the difference.

****** off to be out the Cup. Not least in such gutting fashion. But immensely proud of the effort and performance.

But you don't always get what you deserve this game so congrats West Ham.

Thats football.

Now if only the senior pros would play with even half that heart and pride in the shirt Sunday at Villa .....
