West Ham 1-1 Brighton - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between West Ham and Brighton.

Here are some of your comments:

West Ham fans

Manny: The stats show we had a fair share of the possession, but Brighton were the better team. Julen still doesn't know his best starting XI. Mavropanos is not a Premier League player. Kudus is always better on the right. Paqueta is a waste of time. Brighton looked fitter and were stronger everywhere. Bowen and Wan-Bissaka the only players to emerge with any credit. A lucky point, as it could have been a thrashing.

Rich: It's sad to be relieved at getting a point. It looked like we were playing for the draw towards the end, but there are enough creative players in the squad to mean that this is not acceptable.

John: I feel sorry for the players. The manager is constantly changing players and formation, which creates chaos within the team. After Bowen and Kudus came together to equalise, the mood of the team and fans lifted, so what does Lopetegui do? He changes to a flat back five, which creates a hole in midfield and a disconnect between defence and attack. Most of the substitutions were head-scratchers. Lopetegui needs to leave, as soon as Christmas is over.

Matt: Mediocrity is what Lopetegui has to offer. He is a decent guy but his selections and substitutions are holding us back. I would give Graham Potter a go while the season still has prospects. Summerville should be a starter.

Brighton fans

Linda: Disappointing. We should be scoring so many goals with the performances we are putting in, although the passing is not always good enough. A few shots from outside the box wouldn't go a miss, as we appear to be trying to walk the ball into the net from two yards in, through a bank of opponents.

Robert: It is now becoming increasingly frustrating that we have no killer instinct. We create many chances but fail to capitalise on them. Then, as soon as we score, we make a stupid mistake and seem to get punished every time. So many points dropped now from our lack of taking chances and failing to keep a clean sheet. Time to get the tin hats on, get out of this rut, build some confidence and fight for every point. They are capable of much better, let's hope they find the belief to improve. Come on, Albion.

Dan: Another game, another mediocre performance from Brighton. Hurzeler needs a plan B, otherwise his high-pressure style might drag us down because all the other sides know how we play.

Dave: Absolute rubbish again! We need to sort this out.
