West Ham (a) pre-match thread

Familiarity breeds contempt, on here.

Oh dear, Garcia, Gundo and Rodrigo and Mahrez again. I expect we‘ll play as well as we did on Wednesday, hopefully with the same result.

 

[flook]

whats the issue with Ake? anything been reported? Tough afternoon coming up :/

 

[Saddleworth2]

Shakes head and sighs.

Just why is Foden not being selected?

His form was poor prior to the last game, he needed taking out and needs to earn the spot back... good management from Pep

When Foden and Torres came on against Porto we looked so much more energetic and instead of going with that again we just revert to what preceded it

You do wonder what goes on in his head these days. Goes on about fatigue etc, always chops and changes when we’re playing well. Has options to change things after a slow boring performance against a very poor side midweek and goes unchanged.

I don't understand this line up again. Is pep giving them a chance to redeem themselves?! Gundo did say he needs more playing time to get fit.

Soucek vs Garcia. Dear god.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Only bonus is strong bench for last 30 mins.
