Why did Pellegrini withdraw Felipe Anderson?

[RalphCoatesComb]

Thought he presented some kind of threat then he was oiked off.

Pellegrini, next to get sacked?

[cricketfieldclarets]

Because for the second season running he was terrified of and unable to take on Bardsley.

[MT03ALG]

He was frightened of Phil

[Lancasterclaret]

Really?

He was as anonymous as they come

[RalphCoatesComb]

Really?

He was as anonymous as they come

He was no worse than any of the other toffee Hammers

[ksrclaret]

Because he was an utter disgrace. Ducking and shirking out of challenges and showing a general disinterest in working for his team.

It took some doing, but he was the worst West Ham player on in terms of effort and attitude.

There were far worse that him wearing dark blue today.

[Swizzlestick]

Probably because he was bloody awful.

[ksrclaret]

There were far worse that him wearing dark blue today.

In terms of errors and mistakes yes, but not in terms of attitude.

[Murger]

Because he was pap.

[Bosscat]

Bardo had him in his pocket (AGAIN) 2 seasons in a row

[CoolClaret]

Because for the second season running he was terrified of and unable to take on Bardsley.

My exact sentiments

[Stacky_claret]

Because he didnt look remotely interested

[EarbyClaret]

If you are coming off the back of three poor results West Ham are the perfect opposition to put things right

[Paul Waine]

He was frightened of Phil

I was listening to the game on BBC Radio London. The West Ham supporting commentators/pundit said that Phil Bardsley had let Anderson know he was here in the game last season.... and Anderson was playing today and showing he remembered that challenge.

[ClaretTony]

Second time he's played here and second time he's offered virtually nothing

[SGr]

Probably the most underwhelming display from an opposition player I've seen this season. Spent the whole game 15 yards outside our penalty area playing 5 yard passes, didn't even attempt to cause Bardsley any issues 1v1.

[bfcjg]

Second time he's played here and second time he's offered virtually nothing

You can't knock his consistency.

[Hibsclaret]

He was taken off for his very bad impression of a professional footballer

[TVC15]

He was a waste of a shirt.
The likes of Noble must be embarrassed that they have players like him with so little fight in them.
Anderson had a very good first few months for them and he murdered us down at there place last year. Since then he has been rubbish. How can a player with his ability be on their bench as much as he has been recently ?

My confidence skyrocketed when I saw Noble going off. It’s not his quality, it’s the fact he wouldn’t have allowed them to just lie down the way they did after going one or two goals down. They were completely devoid of leadership second half.

[DCWat]

He’s a quality player - when he fancies being. Today was not one of those days. I’m surprised there was any surprise that he was hooked.

[Burnley1989]

I agree he was terrible but in his day he’s top class

[Burnley1989]

I saw Rice bollock the keeper CB when he had nodded behind and the keeper should have shouted

After his **** up, their keeper pulled of a series of top drawer saves.
