West Ham (a) pre-match thread

That team should be good enough for a few goals

Surprised no Angelino on the bench to be honest. Hope he is up to our standard desperate for him to do well now he has returned but he didn't have the best pre season now he is dropped for the first game.

Don't know if he's "dropped" as such, we've got Cancelo our new big money signing and Otamendi our backup centre back taking up the two defender spots on the bench. I'm sure Angelino will get his chance.

Make or break season for both mahrez and Jesus....neither have been at a level consistently to make themselves undroppable when the time comes...

Its games like this where Pep has shown faith where they need to repay that faith.

Hopefully you’ll remember that and you won’t be slagging off Jesus every few minutes for a change.

I don't slag him off,i get annoyed when he is offside,a big difference

 

[Neville Kneville]

Hopefully Mahrez can continue his form from AFCON. Could be a big season for him with Sane's injury meaning much more game time.

Today should give us a good idea of what is to come.

I was thinking similar,for Foden too.....a blessing in a very shitty disguise.

Surprised with that XI, but still a great side nonetheless.

Certainly a bigger role to play than last season with Sane being out so let's hope he steps up to the plate

Spot on....he is dreadful at staying onside

 

[George Hannah]

You could make a strong case that all our bench except the new lad should have started this game.
