West Ham supporters feel strongly about the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
Some might say that a point at Selhurst Park is never a bad result, but most fans were left disappointed.
They believe Nuno Espirito Santo’s side missed a huge opportunity to extend their lead over Tottenham.
Most supporters have even suggested West Ham are more likely to go down now than before the weekend.

West Ham fans feel ‘worse’ about survival chances
West Ham have been in fine form lately, giving them a chance of avoiding relegation when it had looked inevitable.
Therefore, Monday’s game against Palace was seen by many as an opportunity to build even more momentum.
Also, Palace had played in a Europa Conference League quarter-final just days earlier and had partied into the night.
Nuno picked an attacking 4-4-2 line-up, but the players lacked creativity in the final third and could not find an opener.
The 0-0 draw means West Ham are only two points ahead of Tottenham with five games to go – a precarious position.
Hammers fans on TalkingPoints are actually less confident of staying up than last week, despite not losing ground to Spurs.
Jamie Carragher says West Ham need 40 points! Do you agree? 🤔
Spurs drew 2-2 at home to Brighton (arguably an easier game than Palace away) after conceding a last-minute goal.
“[I feel a] bit worse, because the goals weren’t coming,” a concerned supporter commented ahead of West Ham’s match against Everton on Saturday.
“We were tight and organised, but there was no one player who looked deadly in front of goal.”

“Worse. This was a must-win game,” another said. ”Spurs will beat Wolves in their next game, whilst we will be lucky to get a point against Everton.
“This will put us back in the relegation zone, and games against Brentford, Arsenal and Newcastle are unlikely to yield any, so this will leave only Leeds as a potential three points.“
A fan wrote: “I fear that we missed the boat by not capitalising on our first 45 minutes superiority and taking all three points.”
However, one more optimistic Hammers supporter is not worried about relegation due to Tottenham’s struggles.
“Much better,” they replied. “I can only see Spurs getting three more points, so we only need two more points to send them down.”
