Hope it's Foden and Alvarez instead of Mahrez and Grealish

West ham are very quick in full back positions but players can be dragged out of position grealish and mahrez are better for doing this imo also with West playing so deep we will be forced to put plenty of crosses in box again mahrez and grealish have the better delivery from crosses

Ederson

Walker Stones Dias Cancelo

B.Silva Rodri KDB

Alvarez Haaland Foden

Wish we would try grealish on the right. I know he's not played there previously that I'm aware of, but with haaland in the middle I'd love to see foden on the left and grealish on the right.


I'm so fickle with Mahrez. Sometimes I think he's our most important attacker and other times I think he's selfish and a detriment to our build up.

Think we should learn the lesson from start of last season. Spurs were crap but we were stupidly open and always going to concede a counter when the midfield faded after 40 minutes. Rodri-Phillips together to combat their physicality, Ake left back to deal with Bowen. If they get aggressive just send direct to Haarland.


Draw would be fine WHam had an excellent record vs the top sides at home last season. Can see us trying to play our usual game and shipping a few though.

We know we won’t change how we play and West ham will play those balls over the top to Bowen they will get chances we will too we need

Strange. You’re negative but then accuse me of supporting that lot. Lighten up. Football is not all one way and would be so boring if the opposition didn’t have some of the game!
How much easier would it have been if Mahrez had of just scored the penalty to make it 3-2? But how much more exciting was it in the end that he missed?
