West Ham (a) pre-match thread

[Bill]

Anyone using trains check all lines. Loads of closures.came down last night. Crazy at times

And if it's a 4 goal win, we,on here, will be pushing the goal difference angle after only 1 game.

Who is this “we” you speak of? ;-)

Come on city !

 

[Ric]

Think the team pretty much picks itself today:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Silva
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Sterling
Jesus

Slight chance he could stick with Bravo and Otamendi, who both did well last week but it’d be a surprise. He’ll presumably want his strongest XI sharp and ready for Spurs next weekend.

 

[Chris in London]

Are we bothering today? I thought after last night we’d just give the title to Liverpool and concentrate on defending the League Cup.

thought aguero may start....but Jesus does look more sharp

I think in terms of sportsmanship we have to honour the fixture. Send the trophy up the lancs.

I reckon Aguero will be given half an hour as sub. Big decision next week as to who starts though. Think Jesus will be more involved this season.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Do we expect Cancelo to be involved?

I know our recent record against West Ham is excellent but I think they have a good chance to finish in the top 10 this season.

It could be a tough opening fixture.
