I think the difference between WH and QPR was that WH players know EXACTLY what the manager wants from them. Love hime or hate him, Big Sam has a way of playing and if the team buy into it and do the pobs asked for them they become hard to beat.
Having said that - MH got it wrong and took too long to address the fact that 5v4 in midfield wasn't working and our wide players may as well have been a few feet further wide sitting in the stands. I don't mind starting 4-4-2 at home, but when it is failing miserably, you have to adapt fast and MH was too slow.
I think the game was won and lost in the dugouts to be fair.
West Ham will stay up - definately.
