FOREST (a) post-game: we did really well to keep the game tight away at a good side. Then created plenty as the game opened up #WHUFC #WestHam #COYI

CHELSEA (H) post-game: not much hidden in the expected numbers. We were terrible at both ends #WHUFC #WestHam #COYI

Tonight's team comparison. I mean the shape is similar but they've been much better than us.

The Lopetegui line tells all. Did he actually do OK? Was he or the squad the biggest problem? Is there any hope for Potter

Is our press really more intense than City's? They, of course, really like to keep hold of the ball #WHUFC #WestHam #MCIWHU

Attacking numbers have been on the slide recently. Defence had been improving slightly before Liverpool #WHUFC #WestHam

The 70/30 is starting to reflect the IRL table. Still a little worrying for us but more so for the bottom 3 #WHUFC #WestHam

Good as Liverpool are, this was pretty painful. Expected us to have at least created a bit more #WHUFC #WestHam

A fairly equal match on xG. We managed to take the best chance of the game. That ended up being the difference #WHUFC #WestHam #SouthamptonvWestHam

Leicester team styles comparison. They press with more intensity (who doesn't) and are more patient in attack. We've been better at creating chances though. Overall, 2 teams struggling so far this season #WHUFC #WestHam #COYI

Heatmap has 1-0 or 2-1 to Leicester more likely than any West Ham win but we overcame similar predictions v Newcastle last week #WHUFC #WestHam #COYI

My own model has Leicester as decent favourites this eve #whufc #westham #COYI

Not moved much in the square of stress this week, following Arsenal but the mid table sides have pulled away a little. Need to distance ourselves from the strugglers this week #westham #whufc #COYI

Newcastle review: rode our luck a little first half, got a goal and improved second half #whufc #westham

Newcastle preview: rolling average xG performance fallen off a cliff. Need a big improvement in defence and attack this eve #whufc #westham
