West Ham (a) Pre-Match Thread (League)

finally bravo has been dropped

 

[@BluePhil8]

I like Bravo but no one is undroppable and he has looked shot of confidence while Willy has slowly become more and more consistent since the cup final.

Shocked Pep has relented though!

PRAISE JESUS

FOUR Attacking midfielders! Very attacking but I wold of liked Dino in that line up for abit of stability

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Me too,john is a bit soft for me

he managed pretty well last time we played them.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Omg I am so excited about this game! Attack!!!!

 

[babyape]

Woooah that's a bold team. Let's have it!!!

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Finally getting the balance into the team!

I fully expect silva in a deep role.

Hopefully Stones has taken his benching on the chin and ups his game.

 

[Peggy's a blue]

Worries me that Yaya could be isolated otherwise good side :-)

 

[St.Pauli support]

Wow. What a statement from Pep. All in, I'd call that.
He really wants it today...
Come on Willy!!!

 

[Akiva]

I wonder if Pep honestly believes they are going to sit back like the last game when we hammered them? This lineup is as close to purely offensive we can realistically get this season.

Should be interesting, but you have to wonder if West Ham won't try a more pressing game like they did against Palace and Boro.

EDIT: To clarify, Pep's not doing the wrong thing by playing to our strengths (attack) and he's made some bold, yet commendable, choices here. Just wonder if this isn't exactly what WH are expecting.
