Do people not read other posts on this site? So let's just clarify a number of points that are constantly being mentioned.
Joe Hart cannot play as a loanee.
Sane has 4 bookings including the league cup.
Sane was ill last night and not injured.

OK now let's get on to other matters such how many we are going to win by on the weekend. Rant over!

Eh, he also didn't play Napoli away which is probably the biggest win of the season to date, and we were brilliant.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dave and Gundogan play tonight though, to give KDB a rest before United, and then Fernandinho gets a rest at Shakhtar we've given the entire midfield a game off then.

I wasn’t intending to give a full list of every fame that David had missed, I was referring to the 3 games where in my opinion we had been far and away the least fluid, and it was the 3 games I mentioned, all of which he solely or totally missed. If I recall correctly he came off the bench with about 20 mins left at Napoli and was a huge part in Napoli hardly getting the ball in that time. I think we miss him more than any other player when he isn’t there. That’s my opinion, and you haven’t changed it
 
A little worried for one major reason- Darren Randolph.

He's a decent keeper who was benched for Hart, who has been utter gash for West Ham.

Now they have to play Randolph, who will see this as an opportunity to take back the job. We could see one of those big performances from a keeper because of this, and we'd have probably been better seeing Joe play for them.

We simply have to rotate and prioritise the derby, and it's time Gundogan turns up and delivers. Big week for the lad and last night wasn't a great start.

We must freshen our first team this sunday, but i cant see pep changing too much. Our first team can have rest on mid week so,
............ederson
Danilo... kompany...otamendy...delph
Sane...dinho...silva...debruyne
........sterling....jesus
May be bernardo instead of sterling.
 
After they got their arse handed to them last night, I can only see a 5-5-0 formation from them. No need to play Magic Dave or KDB, prepare them to whoop the rags.
 
-----------------Ederson
Walker--Kompany--Otamendi--Delph
-------------------Danilo------------------
------------De Bruyne----Silva-----------
Sterling------------------------------Sane
--------------------Jesus------------------

They WILL park the bus and we need to be prepared for a long afternoon. I think Sterling will be the hero again because he's the best mover in the team and the hardest to defend against.

It's been a while since we handed out a thrashing and I think that's because we don't often start with a KDB-Silva-Sterling-Jesus-Sane front five.
 
Kev must surely be rested? And for Shaktar as well, preferably. He destroyed United at their place last season. Nice recuperation period, then an encore of that, please.
I wouldn't mind playing the two Silvas together. It seems to me that that's barely happened this season. But I wouldn't play Bernardo wide, he's wasted there. Fernandinho to be rested too – Yaya in as deep holding midfielder. Mangala (with some misgivings, but it is only West Ham…) in for Kompany. We need Vin's leadership for the derby.
That'll do.

Disagree - the changes we made last night affected us. We nearly came unstuck.
 
Start strong and get the game boxed off early. 3 points and a weeks rest for the players starting the derby. Ferna and kompany the only changes as its vital we have them available for the rags. Don’t agree with making wholesale changes last thing we want is to drop points and add more pressure on the derby. Here’s hoping arsenal turn them over and we head into the derby with 11 points advantage
 
Apologies but I don't claim to be an expert or something but I'm struggling to understand why its "impossible" for Bernado to play on the left of attack.

Reckon this could easily be 8-0 or 9-0. Go easy on us lads.

Hello and welcome. Personally, there's a few things that will give me more joy than West Ham bouncing back and consequently staying up. I do have a soft spot for your club and it's not just because of Joe Hart and Zabaleta, I certainly cannot put my finger to it. I was gutted and indeed surprised when I heard that Bilic was eased of his role but more perplexing was your club's decision to hire Moyes. Having said all that, I do believe this is going to be another difficult game for us as your lot would adopted every thing in their power to make life difficult for us. This is the premier league where all of a sudden you see a bottom of the league side not rolling over to a supposed top club. I wish you all the best for the rest of the season (starting from 10th December onwards. Lol)
 
I joined this site 11 years ago after the semi final. The site was full of - justifiably - gloomy City fans cursing their luck and choice of team - i offered an arm around the shoulder and said things would get better. Well looky looky at you now ! Fucking laughably bad situation we are in - I think we are playing at the level of sunderland last year - ie. we would sink in the championship. The club is leaderless, the team is gutless. Only decent thing is the lads- we will be there sunday- Ive already spent about £300 before I get on the train - Im looking forward to seeing the best side in europe (!) and likely the biggest prem goals scored total. I shall drink, laugh and sing and hope for better days #irons
