Flat full-backs, goalkeeping mistakes and eight without a win on the road

Here are five things we learned from a disappointing Sunday afternoon in East London.
-
Shay Given disappointed
The former Newcastle goalkeeper was in the Sky Sports studio and he grimaced as he criticised Pope for West Ham's first goal.
But it wasn’t how he allowed the effort from Paqueta to squeeze past him that left him disappointed, but his decision to punch the initial cross from Crysencio Summerville rather than catching it.
"What I would say is I was really disappointed he didn’t catch the first one, the original cross," Given said on Sky Sports.
"It looped and because of his size and stature, and because he’s so good at claiming stuff I think he can probably catch it. There’s no one really challenging him.
"It’s a relatively good punch but then again, Paqueta shooting from there, Nick will look back and think he should save it really. It moved a bit to be fair, it moves and dips a little bit right at the death but he will still be disappointed as a goalkeeper."
