West Ham (A) - Sun 15th May, 14:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

Hopefully Laporte is okay. If not, our defensive situation is increasingly worrying.

A tricky situation with the defenders but West Ham have lost twice to Utd. The lads should know what is required

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Again, could we not lock this till the morning so I can at least enjoy this evening?!….

Yes absolutely!!!!!!Ive been so stressed imagining the worst, relieve myself tonight (well at least City took the piss) and am now back worrying about West Ham and their set pieces.
But this City squad and manager look to have the bit between our teeth

What makes you think Laporte will ge ok? Didn’t hear Peps interview, did he say anything?

I’m just going through personal experience as regards Laporte, I suffered the same type of tackle whilst playing last year, and the next day I was fine running etc, haven’t seen Peps interview but that’s what I expect him to say.

Hope you’re right pal

If laporte and ferna are out, two options. Its either Rodri or egan-riley. It would be Gundo in the 6 if Rodri moves back to defence, or we could keep him in his right position and play Egan-Riley with Ake. I think the lad has looked alright when he's played but this would obviously be a big step up in stakes.

We can out score any team in the Prem, they'll score 3, we'll score 4. Tough match but we are the best team in the country by a country mile.

 

[The Black Shed]

Can't see the hammers doing anything other than nine behind the ball when out of possession and ping it to Antonio on the transition. They've got some big lumps that can cause damage at set pieces, so we have to be mindful of not giving away free kicks especially on Cresswell's side. One thing's for sure though, they won't play better football and I can see us winning again, and winning well.

This one could be a real banana skin but after today's performance I am a little bit more confident. The team really want to win the league
