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

Here are some of your comments:

Palace fans

Flora: We played so poorly and were constantly losing possession through poor passes. We desperately need to replace Olise as we are leaving Eze with too much to do. Mateta didn't seem fit and Edouard was not on form. Disappointing.

Clive: Two games, no points - not a good start. We have sold Olise, Andersen, Ayew and maybe even Guehi! Why? Before the season started, the chairman said this season would be very exciting and asked if we could 'be another Leicester City and win the title' - well, maybe with the team we had and if we actually added to it! A new stand or a great team? I know which I prefer.

Moggy: Mateta looks tired but he will hopefully bounce back. I would prefer Sam Johnstone in goal instead of Dean Henderson. I didn't think West Ham were better than us, but they scored and we didn't.

Colin: Bring Hodgson back! Toothless. That is what you get when you sell your best players. Glasner got it all wrong and, the way we're going, it will be relegation. I've supported Palace for 60 years, it's the same old rubbish. Parish needs to get a new striker. He told Glasner a load of lies by saying: "We will buy you players". He did the same with Hodgson, but Glasner will just walk away.

West Ham fans

Mark: Julen Lopetegui's style of posterior football is refreshing and it is giving West Ham fans more enthusiasm. With the new signings, we will soon start to see more positive results. After a hard game against Aston Villa and now an easy trip to Crystal Palace, it looks like we have a great chance of achieving what we deserve this year.

Dave: It was all a bit frantic I thought. I'm really pleased to get the win and that Kilman and Wan-Bissaka contributed brilliantly to the goals, but there is still room for improvement, particularly in possession. We still give the ball away too often and we never really had control of this match until we scored.

Simon: Aaron Wan-Bissaka made an instant impact after coming on and he really seemed to liven things up. It is still too early to tell what the new manager will do, but a clean sheet is always welcome.

Chris: Good for Tomas Soucek making it difficult for the new manager to drop him. Everyone wrote him off as unsuitable for the new system. He probably isn't the best fit in reality but he gives his best every time he gets on the pitch, which makes all the difference.
