West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[Grassland Blue]

why would you risk them being banned for the derby when we have a squad to cover,at the moment we have a slight advantage with pog banned

A SLIGHT advantage?!
Maybe slightly more of an advantage, which is what you probably meant!

Nothing to be gained by rushing him back before he's ready. Hopefully Vinnie can stay fit for the next few weeks. If not, we have to trust the Mangler to fill in.

In the mangler we trust,gulp ..

Exactly! The world expects them to get nothing, goal difference is often important at the end of the season and no-one enjoys a busy holiday season getting 4 or 5 put past them! This Hammers team is already a bit fragile, they have players missing, and Moyes can’t afford another shellacking, so he’s doing what he can to not get one! Don’t blame him and just hope City are getting more used to what to expect from bottom 19 teams and have plans to address “the bus.”

All this resting players is nonsense, apart from Ferna possibly.
A team needs to be picked to win the game first of all.
If as a result of that, players can be rested that's fine.
I am all for player rotation, but let's get the game won, keep the winning run going, keep the team spirit high and the steamroller rolling along.

Do you think this team can’t win the game, Pep has thrown in the towel on this game?

Come on, now....which is it? Nonsense (line 1) or that’s fine (line 3)???

We’d better, because he’ll be playing in Shaktar, too!

We ought to give Wee Davey a warm welcome today. He did excellent work at the Meccano set, which should be recognised by our fans.

Just got this awful feeling that KDB, Sane and Silva could miss the derby through injury or suspension today. Worried to feckin' death

As all good therapists say - don't worry about things that night never happen!

Th

There is an argument for going all out for the 3 points tomorrow and destroy West Ham say 4 or 5 -0 by playing our strongest team . If we get beat by the rags next week we still have an effective 6 point lead .... Is that preferable to a possible draw tomorrow with a weakened squad and next weekend defeat at a resurgent rag mob on the crest of a slutchy patch.

This, every time!

Bollocks to that I’m more worried about pep taking them over to Shakhtar (bar De Bruyne suspended) play the likes of toure gundogan and b.silva and a load of youth team players..

 

[Grassland Blue]

Should we not play other key personnel in case of injury?- no, we should play our strongest line up to get it won and what will be will be for the swamp game

Is the correct answer!
