West Ham (a) pre-match thread

[valleyblue]

Hi, for those of us who haven't been able to make to the olympic stadium yet & will be doing for the First time on Sunday, has anyone got any recommendations for parking?

I think ideally would like to park up on the outskirts & get the tube in, but willing to take best advice.

Cheers

Park in Westfield shopping centre, it's a 10 min walk to the stadium. Enjoy the game!

I think we'll..... hammer them

I think Pep is keeping the side motivated by taking into account their personal motivations. Laporte wants a run of games to push for WC selection. Otamendi is certain of his place and has had a long hard season.

How does John fit into that framework for selection?

He's injured.

 

[chesterbells]

He's injured.

Ah,ok. I'd read a fair bit on here and elsewhere that there was some doubt about that, and actually the issue was that Pep had lost faith in him/may be looking to move him on. Obviously I hope that's wrong.

55 points in front of West Ham United, wow I still find that unbelievable.


1-4 to City

Give David the week off. Let Danilo compete for his world cup place. Mendy on for half an hour (maybe for Fernandinho and let Delph play at #6). Youngsters on the bench to come on if and when we're 2 or 3-0 up.

4-1 City.

I like that idea. I think Mendy can do 30 minutes at most. Let him get match fit in stages, he seemed awfully heavy legged on Sunday. WestHam 0 City 4

Big pitch so keep the game stretched.

The pitch is the same size as every other pitch.

If like to see Delph trialled in fern’s position, bernado and Foden in silva’s position and three at the back. But only one change per match left to keep strength and confidence. Be good to see these options before having to use them in must wins.
3-0

Yes, and its noticeable that Pep emphasised his hope that Stones plays the last few games to be fit for the WC. I'm sure that Pep is intent on breaking the records but he must also believe that tailoring his selections to take into account players' WC aspirations can only help.

 

[Woodman1801]

Does Bravo not need to play the last 4 games for his medal?
