Devoured by Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers 3 West Ham 0

Not the reaction we wanted at all. As Pellegrini said, "it would be impossible to have played any worse" (though I'm sure we could try). Minor injuries keeping Cresswell and Nasri out didn't help. The only positive was that Fabianski had a great game and the Hammers kept it goalless at half-time. Though Masuaku was lucky not to concede a penalty and Jonny headed a fine chance wide. Wolves took the lead through a free header from a corner after Snodgrass lost Saiss. The second was a case of Jiminez getting in front of Rice at a free kick and Jiminez's second and Wolves' third was scored on the break to finish the game. 

Wolves are looking a quality side, but the Hammers didn't create a single chance and that's not good enough. The side don't look any further ahead than they would have been had Moyes stayed, who would probably also have made it to mid-table. To compound the problems Arnautovic limped off with what might be a broken foot. Three defeats in a row and resting players at Wimbledon now looks pointless. The players are looking tired, there's still a massive injury crisis, and surely a signing or two might help the squad before the window closes.
