Re: West Ham vs Manchester Utd Official Match Thread

Zaba has been a fantastic player, love him but if he is up against Daniel James or Marcus Rashford, I don't think all his experience will counteract their pace, that said Cresswell has been poor and looks slow. The other option is Johnson who we all want to be the answer but the reality is we don't...

Re: West Ham vs Manchester Utd Official Match Thread

Hoping for a performance like the one against Man U at home last season. The performance on Monday night was a bit flat and the team selection seemed to be one most would be happy with. Our right hand side looks particularly poor. Yarmalenko looking off the pace and pace is about the only thing Ryan...

Re: Watford vs West Ham Official Match Thread

I'll go with that if all fit, I think there is a bit of pressure on Haller to hit the ground running. The idea to play Antonio and Haller up front together is an interesting one and their centre backs would not like it but I fear we would be overrun in midfield, definitely an appealing option if we...

Re: Watford vs West Ham Official Match Thread

Another game where i fear us getting completely overrun in the centre of midfield. Doucoure and Capoue will have a field day. Fabianski Fredericks, Blabuena, Diop, Masuaku Rice, Noble Antonio, Lanzini, Anderson Haller Madness that will still relying on Noble to be our savior in midfield. If he's no...

Was Pellegrini's starting lineup inexplicable?

Even considering the injuries I was aghast when I saw the starting lineup, looking at the forum I don't think I was alone. Being without Haller made us look less of a side already but the changes to me seemed bizarre. Masuaku came in at left back, not many would disagree with this. Masuaku and Cress...

Re: What if Rice picks up an injury?

A decent back up defensive midfielder would be nice, or indeed just a midfielder. You know one that is adept offensively and defensively, a footballer who can tackle, run with the ball, pass well, track back, get forward, win headers, we seem to have one defensive midfielder in Rice, 3 attacking mid...

Do we have too many technicians?

In the wake of the 5-0 defeat at city (which I can expect a whole load of grief for tomorrow after telling everyone we would turn them over) we will all be hoping that it’s just because we were against one of the best sides in the premier league. We are all excited about having some technically gift...

Re: Leicester home (Match Thread)

Fabianski Zaba Balbuena Diop Cresswell Rice Noble Antonio Masuaku Anderson Arnautovic Yes Zaba is not quick, but he does know how to defend which is quite important as a defender and Fredericks has yet to convince me that he is competent enough at defending. Most people recognise that Arthur Masuaku...

Re: Phil Jones

I think Diops performances have deteriorated the past couple of months but I think he is decent and has the potential to be a top player, Mourinho described him as a monster earlier in the season after the game against Man U but for me he has to replicate his early season form which I think he can, ...
