West Ham (H) - Sun 28 Nov 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[blue ranger]

I reckon Zinch could start at left back as he only played 60 mins vs PSG, thus giving either Cancelo or Walker a well earned rest. We have another tricky fixture on Weds evening. KDB is still suffering mild symptoms so will rest longer.

I’ve got a sneaky feeling Ake will start at left back as West Ham are a huge team.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Pep will use the squad over the next 3 games, the players who started vs PSG won't have energy to play in all of them.

Think Laporte, Zinchenko and Jesus are bound to start vs WHam, hopefully Foden is ready as well. Maybe one from Rodri and Bernardo will be rested, same with one from Walker and Cancelo. We should be careful not to run in the ground Rodri and Bernardo, they have been fantastic so far. Can see Palmer getting another start.

So, Pep will probably take some risks today. Villa away won't be an easier game, and we will need fresh players for the next two games.

Yea no time for careless whispers.

Snowing and well icey here in Glossop. Assuming the weather in town is more mild?

No wonder the wife said she would watch the kid and I could go to the match (her turn for city today). Gonna be bloody cold.

Was it West ham that was postponed a few years ago because of bad weather?

You assume wrong. Pep tells me it's Laporte for Stones today.

February 9th last year with the storm coming which was a weird coincidence as my Dad died that morning and me and my wife had flown over to watch the game. Weird few days.

Notwithstanding the possibility that we may score the most, we're still likely to continue the drop we experienced last season from seasons prior, which is chiefly due to no Aguero and Sterling misfiring.

Good point , Sterling is the main factor , we need him back to his 20/25 goals a season level.

Snow from Bury all the way down to the stadium, thick and heavy. Don’t have a game related pun on hand. 3-1 City.
