A narrow and nervy win

I take a draw if offered. Intrigued to see how we set up to accommodate Erling. I would not be surprised if we go exact same as last week. Stones and Foden maybe in for Ake and Jack.

i think when the three subs came on against liverpool we were a lot much better.. i would start them against west ham..

Bowen ran our defence ragged last game at the London Stadium. That is why the inclusion of both Rodri and Phillips might be prudent. However, that reduces our attacking threat. Early season and all that fitness yada yada this will ebb and flow but a 1 - 3 result would be a nice starter.

Best way to ground from Euston?

Walk to Euston Square, tube to Liverpool Street and change there for a tube or overground train to Stratford.

Just watched the highlights of the game at West Ham last year. I’m amazed how much I’d forgotten about.

First of all, thank god that wasn’t Zinny’s last involvement for us! Secondly, Taylor waving away a stonewall penalty. He was in the perfect position yet was shamed into going to the monitor.

Alti fan, by the way.

Tbf we had 66 year old Fern in defence with a patched up Laporte next to him with no Walker & Cancelo in bad form.
Not saying he's a bad player, he's good, but it won't be the same especially if Walker plays.

Weve not had a opening game at home since 2016!

Last opening game against west ham we won 0-5

That’s because we ask to play away first game to give the pitch more time following summer concerts.
