I'm not a great fan of Moyes style of football and I think a different manager could get more out of this group of players, but it would have to be someone special as there are no guarantees in this game, and when we are no longer in Europe we will realise what a big miss it is and what a great achi...

11 yellows and 2 red for a game with 34 fouls (according to Sky)…… that’s some going - 1 yellow card every 3 fouls!! Seriously out of his depth in this game Yes, but there were at least 5 fouls on Mik that should have been given. As Joe just said 'the ref was good for them' - appalling refereeing

Mik interviews well, he was hard done by tonight

Heroic failure, great effort from the lads, very proud Hammer tonight

Ref gives us the benefit of a free kick in the 93rd minute when it is meaningless

If we can't win the tie, I really, really hope we finish their unbeaten run record, we have been playing against 12 men here

Pingpong got it over the net

Our defence has been magnificent

It was a foul, if it wasn't a foul it was our ball - and they get the throw in!!

Agreed, Johnson will inject some energy and pace

You can see the energy draining out of them, it was a momentous effort first half

Ings for Antonio, maybe 80th minute?

The longer it goes on the more nervy Bayer will get, we will get more chances

Yes, he's brilliant but unpredictable, loses the ball in dangerous areas (which hasn't happened tonight) and must be hard to play off

Bowen had so much more time there

Zouma's been rock solid with decent distribution

Our press has been a revelation tonight

Do they have kill Antonio before they give him a foul

We won't us the bench unless we have to - who is going to improve on what we are watching

Yes, all you ask for is that they give it their all and they are doing that to a man so far
