West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[Fordyboy46]

Whenever we have a break we're always crap in that said fixture before it, so I'm going for a 1-1 draw. And please Pep can you stop with this persistence of playing players who are not going to get any better or have nothing left to prove, Otamendi and Gundogan to name two, it really is pointless to carry on playing them. Foden and Garcia should be starting every game from now on, now the title is well and truly over.

Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Garcia, Laporte?, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Foden, B.Silva, Jesus, Aguero.

Subs: Bravo, Mendy?, Otamendi, Gundogan, D.Silva, Mahrez, Rodri.

I remember when we used to completely blame Claudio for the 1 shot 1 goal thing. I mean his shot stopping wasn't great, but the team has clear issues with this phenomenon.

I was thinking exactly the same. It is indeed a bizarre phenomenon because I’ve never seen this happen to one team before.

 

[Kenward Garg]

Hope we do not get a penalty, they will have to do “rock, paper, scissors” to select a taker.

Anybody prepared to predict a clean sheet?

I’d love too but this season has been bizarre. One shot: one goal.

 

[Marvin]

Massive game for the Hammers. They really need something from it.

 

[come-on-barney]

Foden, Garcia and Jesus.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Put our chances away, we'll win by 4 or 5. Keep missing them and anything could happen.

Time to get our CL eleven some playtime together:

Ederson
Walker Fernandinho Laporte Mendy
Rodri Bernardo
KDB
Mahrez Aguero Jesus

If we want to play 3ATB just change Walker to Cancelo and play Rodri at RCB. Sterling need to prove he means business

 

[Dave Yeoman]

Surely it’s now time to give Phil and Eric Garcia a run of games in the PL starting line up... starting Sunday

Clutching at straws pal even though you're 100% correct, Pep loves Gundogan and Otamendi far too much to leave them out.

If Laporte is fit:

Ederson
Walker Ferna laporte cancello
Rodri

Kdb Bernardo

Mahrez (unless sterling is fit) Kun jesus

 

[simon23]

Rodders for Gundo for me.

Agree....gundogan ia part of the issue

I really like Bernardo in the deeper playmaker role, his control in tight areas means he rarely gives the ball away, and Jesus is playing so much better than Sterling at the moment, so this team gets my vote.

Don't forget Cabaellro

Obviously if we take our chances with the amount we create we'll win. I think Raz being out will help and we'll be more clinical. Have to be aware of the sucker punch of course.

 

[sir baconface]

Fuck this shit.

18-0 City.

Is that shots to goals ratio?

 

[razman]

No raz please

 

[JONZMCFC]

I personally think we'll win regardless of who plays. West Ham are really shit.
That being said, a statement must be made. Benching Sterling, Gundogan, Otamendi(if Laporte is available) is a must. Jesus, Foden deserve to start

 

[mosssideblue]

No raz please

Is he not injured?

 

[MillisleBlue]

Circle the wagons time and trust in Pep to find a way round - or through - the Hammers.

Gundogan was our best player yday, penalty aside.
