West Ham (a) pre-match thread

[WARBABY]

Posted it before, when a player turns City over ( The Kernaghan moment) we buy them instead of questioning our weaknesses, now the Mendy moment.

Just like Denis Tuart when he turn us over playin g For Sunderland

No atmosphere?

no fans. Its usually a flatter performance when its the early kick off anyway but probably exacerbated by the lack of noise in the stadium.

To those predicting a 5-0 thrashing I respectfully suggest you watch their second half showing at Tottenham. It will be a tough battle and frankly only Walker seems to have the balls for a fight these days.

Fucking garbage (the second half of your last sentence)

I'd do the following not only for West Ham but going forward, injuries permitting:

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Ake
Rodrigo
De Bruyne Bernardo
Sterling Aguero Ferran
​

By default, De Bruyne plays deeper and partners Rodrigo pinging balls into opposition dangerous areas. Bernardo to be the main playmaker.
I think this will solve the puzzle of playing both together and because most teams defend against us, De Bruyne playing deeper should be our default mode and the implication would be that the creativity from both players is not hindered.

If the opposition decides to play football, we unleash De Bruyne on them in attacking positions while Bernardo reclines to support Rodri and so KDB will have space to wreak havoc.

I believe this plan will work.

​

Belgium use Kevin in that way. As opposition teams tire, Kevin pushes further forward. I agree with you.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Aymeric Laporte
Nathan Ake
Benjamin Mendy
Kevin De Bruyne
Fernandinho
Gabriel Jesus

All out of tomorrow's game? Am I missing anybody! Our injury records are absolutely ridiculous.

Going to be a tough game this, I think we'll edge it.
WHU 1-2 MCFC
Antonio for West Ham
Sterling brace for us.

Come on blues.

Bringing back memories of Jon Macken

Bringing back memories of Jon Macken

And Mick Horswill

And Mick Horswill

Now you have a good memory. I remembered he was at Sunderland but couldn't recall where he went after us. I googled his clubs and saw that he played with a team called "The happy Valley of Hong Kong"

Said prior to Arsenal that I felt the season started there, I’ve got my enthusiasm back (despite the frustration of armchairitis)

can see the spring in the step back, and we’re only in 3rd gear thus far

A 3-1 win tomorrow, Bernadooo
