over the international break if West Ham lost. They avoided that but, other than the fact they picked up another point, inching their way towards safety next May, was a featureless goalless draw really so much better?
“We deserved to win with the chances we had, especially in the second half,” said Lopetegui. “We kept a clean sheet and had enough chances to win the match. The first half, we lost 45 minutes. We can do better with the energy and the attitude. We have to have the personality to make the right decisions.”
There were mishit passes, misplaced passes, misconceived passes and passes to nobody at all. When the press box monitors went off in the first half, it felt like an act of kindness.

Had there been slightly more pace on the pass, or had Doucouré been prepared to take on the shot first time, he might not have had the opportunity.
