West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[Ric]

Think we'll line up like this:

Caballero
Zabaleta
Stones
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Nolito
Sterling
Aguero

Looking forward to it, after something of a damp squib on Wednesday night.

Is poyet fit?

Gus Poyet's now the Betis match. He retired years ago. Hope this helps.

That does seem to be his preferred 11 at the moment Ric.

West Ham will be up for this. They'll have a point to prove after going out of Europe.

I thought we got stoke at a decent time before they'd found any rhythm at home.

This will be our toughest game so far I think.

I'm probably tempting fate here, but I think it's a good time to play them. They're missing a lot of players through injury, and their fans seem gutted about the early European exit. Looking at their forums there's a lot of discontent, and very little confidence about the game on Sunday.

All of which means we'll probably lose.

I would have though Kolarov instead of Clichy?

Why weren't they up against a mid table Romanian side.... in front of their home crowd... on a European night... with a new stadium lol? I think it's a slim chance they risk Payet/Lanzini. Think they will wait until after the international break so there isn't any setbacks. It's early days and their record signing is already out for 4 months, they don't want to chance ruining their entire season unless they are suddenly 100% fit overnight.

I hate Sunday 16:00 matches almost as much as Monday nights. Give me my city fix now.

This season is the worst in recent memory. It's fantastic watching us, as well as watching the man on the sideline. I could watch match after match. Wish we were the 12:30 Saturday kick off.
