thought he was excellent today,always looking to move forward either by passing or carrying the ball forward. I bet alladyce was relieved when hughes subbed him.Thought we lost our impetus when he left the field,although gcam could have sealed it for us!

He did play very well but not my MOM Walters/Moses the thing with Bojan is he seems to have a lot of the ball and 70% of the time doesn't do a great deal with it,undoubted talent but needs to up his percentage and he also needs to up his work rate it lacks a bit for the prem.
Hughes mentioned he has got him working on his strength so he's only going to get better.

Diouf cannot play as the lone striker he was the only disappointment from our attacking play today, he's a wide forward in a front 3 not a lone striker his first touch is no better than Cameron fucking Jerome. What utter rubbish. The reason we looked so good today was that we actually had someone up front with a bit of movement and the threat of pace. Granted his first touch isn't as good as Crouch's but we wouldn't have put in a performance like today with Crouch in my opinion. And as for Bojan. Class. He has all the makings of being a top player for us. He just quite clearly needed a bit of time. You can't play as a lone striker with a poor first touch, I'm sorry he's a decent player but a lone striker he isn't. He's the best option we have on the right whilst Odemwingie is injured mind .

Form is temporary class is permanent!
The clowns on here only know plodders and technically inept shit like Whitehead who mock a talent like Bojan Ffs!
Well played lad.

Was a pleasure to see his performance today. Always looking to move forward tight control and quick passes. Even muscled Song off the ball a couple of times. Can see him only getting better.

He has 1 half decent display and the wankfest begins Seriously though,it was his best performance so far but he still has a lot to learn about premiership football.He does get caught out by the pace of the game and needs to release the ball quicker.He got into some good positions but failed to make the most of them ( he wasn't the only one mind ).He doesn't look like a prolific goalscorer Still it's good to see him improving.

Thought he had an excellent game and if he carries on like that he'll be a superb addition.
It was always going to take him a while to get going as the Premier League is so much quicker and more physical than anything he's encountered before.
Hopefully this is the start of better things.

I thought he was MOTM he gave the ball away 0 times today he was tackled a couple of time to dispossess him other than that cracking game. His first touch was outstanding and vision for a simple pass is excellent as for West Ham bossing the midfield that's nonsence they were outplayed in all depts.

Jesus the bloke played 80 minutes where we did well for 60 and threw away a 2 nil lead in twenty because we were too open .
Hudson like others saying he will be going to a top 4 nonsense he he had had in decen game needs few to cement a place
Diof on the other hand is beginning to build some impressive goal stats over a period of games
We got the point we desperately needed today and some encouragement in the first hour but threw away 2 more points at home is the bottom line

Hughes mentioned he has got him working on his strength so he's only going to get better. I'm going to disagree with you here Squeekster, I think the main reason Moses and Walters were front runners for MotM today were because Bojan uses the ball so intelligently. He picks up the ball and turns on a sixpence moves away from the opposition and then plays a neat ball to switch play out wide which ultimately got Moses on the front foot. He simply has to start for me in that number 9 role. defenders hate players that free roam which ultimately makes room for other players. Superb today.

If Bojan can cement a place in the team then we may start to see a return to form for Arnie as well.

You cleared missed his touches round the corner to Moses to put him through twice! Crouch has a better first touch but Diouf is quicker, covers more ground, works harder, pressures defenders more! Plus the threat of his pace in behind helps Bojan as it gives more space as there defence has to defend deeper than if Crouch played!

Bojan deserves a wankfest of the highest order! He was brilliant today and was very strong on the ball. Loved how quickly he moved the ball and he was our attacking fulcrum. We created chances and held onto the ball (60%-40%). Bojan was at the center of all of that. I have seen our future, it is Bojan!

He played exceptionally well individually but as a unit we lost a lot of balance. Combined with Nzonzi it is virtual suicide. West Ham bossed the centre of the park in the second half and lay a road right through us. I really don't know where to go with him/it because he is a wonderful footballer. Completely disagree with the part about West Ham bossing the midfield. They bossed nothing for 90 mins and were completely outplayed. You are right. We were superb today and if we had put our chances away we would have won the game quite comfortably

Bojan, today, a stand out performance in a stand out performance team effort today. Must start against Spurs next week, partnering Diouf. Some on his balls (Bojan) were magic today. Once the rest of the lads cotton on to his game, we'll be almost unplayable. Hard to fault anyone today, in fact I won't. SJW, won every ball in the air and on the deck. Sidwell, defended midfield well, he was a satisfactory Whelan replacement and allowed N'Zonzi to maraud.Moses played out of his shirt, as did Diouf. Shawcross a different class when he isn't man marking. Wilson played well, didn't do much wrong. Pieters, pretty solid if caught out of position a couple of times. Cameron, played a true defenders game as well as adding to attack. Bego, played his usual game, and is going to concede now and again when defence don't v[clear. My i]opinion, a really encouraging game, and bodes wellfor the future if we can tighten efence up a little. My ratings.
Cameron 8 Ryan 8 Wilson 7 Peters 7 SJW 9 Sidwell 8 N'Znonzi 8 Moses 9 Bojan 9 Dioiuf 8 Bego 7

Exactly right, Diouf's pace changes the way the opposiiton defence play, with Crouch last week Southampton were able to push up and press him, they can't do that with Diouf and this creates space for others to play in. Credit to the management, today showed us a glimpse of the future and I assume how they expected the signings to fit in. They should be brave and stick with this front 4 in the line up, Bojan was exceptional in terms of passing, ability to beat a man and control.

Confidence probably helped. I'm told Alan Hudson used to play like that, picking the ball up all over the pitch and running the attacking play. Looking back, I think you're spot on, mate.

I thought he played well there's a real directness to his game.
Though he did back out 2-3 challenges where his speed would probably mean that he'd win the ball easily. He needs to go out and have a few drunken fights with Charlie Adam + Glen Whelan to toughen him up and get a few battle scars.
Though the really cynical side of me says he should've brought the man down for West Ham's first and taken a booking, I'd bet my last pound that Adam or Whelan would've done.

By saying "he seems to have a lot of the ball and 70% of the time doesn't do a great deal with it" what on earth do you mean. He ran the game today, I can't remember one lost pass. He made space, demanded the ball, moved it and made space again. He made himself available and tracked back all day long. Which percentage and work rate is it that he lacks for this league exactly?
