West Ham (A) Pre-Match Thread

[Dax777]

Hart

Zabaleta - Otamendi - Demichelis - Clichy

Yaya Toure - Fernandinho

De Bruyne - Silva - Sterling

Aguero


Personally I would play Navas ahead of KDB because I think he needs a rest and I would play Fernando using Yaya as an impact sub but I think Pellegrini will play the team above.

Great chance to go top of the league.

3-1 City Aguero hat-trick

Agree that's the likely starting squad.

Very tough game this. But I think we can win this . Close hard fought victory 1-2 .

 

[Chi-town blues]

Only if one of theirs is just about to shoot, to put them off. They could shout anything really though, it's the timing which is critical. And being really close to make them jump. No point doing it from 20 yards away.

oh ! Ok maybe get some of the old school vibes going on as well;)

I normally feel like I have a pretty good idea of the team Pellegrini will select, but predicting the midfield now is virtually impossible. There are so many permutations, especially with one eye on Wednesday, that I've almost given up trying to work out tomorrow's team.

At a push, I'd go:

Hart
Sagna
Otamendi
Demichelis
Clichy
Fernando
Toure
Sterling
De Bruyne
Silva
Aguero

I'd be inclined to chuck in Fernandinho at the expense of either KDB or Silva. West Ham are a very athletic and physically imposing team, and a bit of muscular graft in response might be required. Silva, KDB and Ya Ya together away from home leaves us too unbalanced IMO (in terms of attack against defence)

you'll need some more juice in the machine if it is yaya and nando in a two again

Would you drop Delph after MOM ? I think it should be Ferny and Delph. I thought Nando was our 2nd best player last time around. For me it would be similar lineup with Delph in for Yaya.
