West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[Marvin]

WHU are in a sorry state. Relegation a real danger, wage cuts threatened if they go down, best players leaving if that happens - Hammers could be playing Leyton Orient in a few years. And now they've taken away a supporter's season ticket for wearing a shirt calling for the board to be sacked. Could morale be any lower? I hope they stay up but Sunday is highly unlikely to be a step towards safety.

But they have some good players and this is crunch time for them now. Antonio, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Cresswell are decent players. Sometimes Masuaku plays very well. Their best players have been injured. I am hoping Anderson is out. He's the type of quick dribbler that can cause our defence problems.

If we can get past the parked bus and not spunk away our chances, we should come away with a win. UNLESS, we do the usual 1 attack and concede, then it will be a tall order to break down their 10 man defence, it’s proved so hard for us to do so many times this season.

No - I will always care about our games.

This. Shouldn't matter who we play or for what, the whole point of football is to entertain. I love watching us play our (mostly) beautiful brand of football.

This please:

Ederson

Cancelo - Fernandinho - Laporte - Mendy

De Bruyne - Gundogan - Bernardo

Mahrez - Aguero - Jesus​

Ederson
Walker Dinho Laporte Mendy
KDB Rodri Foden

Time for us to hit some rhythm ahead of the Madrid game.

Swap Bernardo for Mahrez.

Just play with intensity from the 1st minute is all I ask.

However determined and motivated WHU will be, this is one weekend where City really should be fired up ourselves. I can see City scoring 5 or 6.

 

[Father Paul]

More dodgy defending and more poor finishing resulting in a scrappy 2-1 victory.
