West Ham (a) Pre-Match Thread

[super_city_si]

strong team please, treat it the same as a league match

 

[DClarkMiamiU]

probably want to work on a plan to deal with not having Dinho for the following 3 EPL matches (and god know how many more, with his Red record lately)
-figure also that we can't keep running Yaya out there for 90 mins.

Willy
Sanga Kol Ota Clichy
Stones
Sterling Silva Garcia KDB
Aguero

 

[cibaman]

The match is on BBC.

Send Brian Kidd with a squad of kids.

Fuck them until they give us some respect.

They would love that

We haven't got a game for 8 days after this one. strong side. No fucking about. January will be a boring month if we go out of this.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We must go for this , and play an attacking team with pace , energy and some youth , BRAVO - STONES , OTTO , CLICHY - STERLING , GARCIA ,FERNANDO , KDB , SANE - IHEANACHO , AGUERO , either we win 5-0 or lose 0-5 but we have some amazingly talented forward players so lets concentrate on our strengths and let the Hammers worry about us.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

For a selfish reason I hope we put out a strong team because I'm going and have work at 9am next morning. Especially after the Chelsea debacle last season! A long rendition of fuck the bbc to the David silva tune would be nice

 

[stan bowles]

Yaya has to play. We are too light physically without him against their powerful squad.

 

[carlosborba]

Anybody knows why Fernando wasn´t on the bench against Burnley?

Cheers

 

[Jacob Smith]

Caballero
Sagna Otamendi Kolarov Clichy
Fernando
Sane (if fit) Garcia Silva Nolito
Agüero
​

Think we could do with Otamendi and Kolarov as they're strong in the air & both looked solid yesterday. Sagna could be banned thanks to his sense of humour but he'd also be useful for his aerial ability.

Reward Garcia for his League Cup performances with another start and let Fernando have a game to settle in because he'll be required to do Dinho's job while he's out. I think we'll win but it'll be tough: 2-1.

 

[rnblade]

I'll settle for a scrappy 1-0 to us now.

 

[Edin blue]

Anything other than a win is unacceptable. We don't need replays or even worse to go out at this stage.

 

[Bluep*ss]

We will need the luck that the Swamp Donkeys got on Monday. Jones hard into the tackle and the Hammer gets a straight red.
and the blind Liner who missed Ibra being offside.........maybe the same liner that was at Spurs 12 months ago...
I am fearful of this game - Hammers have been improving of late.
Would love for City to put on an Olympic !! - performance - and win 4-0

------------------------Bravo
Sagna------Otamendi------Kolarov------Clichy
-------------Yaya--------------Garcia
Sterling---------------KDB-----------------Sane
---------------------Aguero

That would be my team, Pep will probably play Caballero though. Garcia should get a game with Delph, Fernando and Fernandinho, all either injured, suspended or not good enough, if he plays Silva, then Garcia probably won't get this kind of chance to start again all season. Bring Sane in too if he's fit, pace on both wings works best for us.

Posts like this make me laugh. Entitled much. We are playing away from home in the FA cup against a premier league side.

All be it a shit one

 

[aguero93:20]

Really don't be needing to give that twat Oliver a chance to send off Aguero or De Bruyne in this one.

 

[lionheart]

West Ham looked back to their best against the Rags (who were very lucky to win) so expect a very tough fixture. No need for major rotation as next game not until 15th so simply play KDB, Toure and Sterling for 45 mins rather than make wholesale changes. I fear for Otamendi's style of tackling after what happened there at the weekend. We don't need another suspension. My prediction is another 1-0 defeat like those against the Scousers and in the League Cup.

Yes thats true however would you be ok losing to them? I'm not sure many fans would be. Its the best chance of a trophy this season.

ah come on now, unacceptable? seems a bit much. WHU are hardly shit and the cup tends to be a bit of a leveller

I'd be careful mate, I got absolutely fucking destroyed on here for saying the same thing a few weeks ago.
