West Ham (a) Pre-Match Thread

Wouldn't suprise me if it was a back 3 tonight

 

[bellsouth]

Hard to predict the team tonight, but have to reckon Garcia is a defo probably Nolito too. Wouldn't be surprised to see a very strong bench

 

[george22]

I hope Aguero starts tonight and we go at them from the off. I'm predicting KDB to be on top form, and Navas to beat the first man from a cross.

First man ever?
(Sorry couldn't help myself)

Eccles supporters group have got at least 15 already there, might be another 2 going later though. Then I've heard from another group Winsford way who are on a bus on their way so that would equate to another 25 at least. Plus I've just heard from a friend who is on her way with 3 other people. So the numbers are growing. I reckon we might have all our allocation filled.

That would be great going, superb effort to everyone going tonight.

9 days till the next game and a few substandard performances recently, strong team please.
Come on city.

 

[wattle]

Willy
Sagna Stones Otamendi Clichy
Toure Silva (playing deeper Iniesta role) or Fernado if we're being more cautious if fit
Sterling De Bruyne Nolito
Aguero

No pissing around. Our best chance of a trophy this season

Come on City

 

[St.Pauli support]

Dinho being out, I would expect a back 4 behind Garcia and Yaya:

Caballero​

Sagna Ota Kolarov Clichy

Garcia Yaya​

Sterling Silva Nolito

Sergio​

Kola bit more physical than Stones maybe.
Not sure about KDB, he might get on later.

Be loud and proud you Blues!!

I'm looking forward to this game. Not much pressure on us and It gives us an indication on how much further Garcia (providing he starts) is in his development. We still have to play a couple of our key players though.

 

[BlueS]

We want to win this one right?

I think their ground will play into our hands, lots of space.
Hoping for a solid City display and a pitiful Hammers roll over.

1 - 3

We cant play on the running track mind, that would be a throw in

Huge pressure as its by far our best chance of a trophy this season.

 

[Jazzman]

Will a red card in this game lead to a ban for PL games?

West Ham are under more pressure. They are home, have exited the Europa League earlier on and are not doing greatly in the league either.

They have no real pressure on them winning a trophy though. City have won just one trophy in the past two seasons which is a pretty poor return considering the investment.

It does

They aren't a Bournemouth, Watford, Burnley Leicester ( they are current League Champions and are in the latter stages of the Champions League). Their owners expect them to do well in at least one domestic trophy and playing in a brand new stadium.

So they'll turn in a Barcelona-esque performance !

 

[kaz7]

This will be a hard game where we really will have to fight for the ball especially at the back where it'll be balls in the air to Carroll
We'll give them a goal on 14 mins

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Can't wait for the game tonight. Hopefull for a response from the team towards the shit we got from the press etc concerning the nothing story over Pep that they ran with.

Some nice attacking football, goals and a clean sheet please : )
