West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[Mike N]

For helping us take fourth spot and doing for the Rags' CL qualification chances?

Forgive me, I was thinking of our team not some other mob I have no interest in.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

I think there's a better chance we sane tomorrow, maybe from the bench. Vinny and gundogan were both serious injuries so best be conservative imo

We will see tommorow hopefully a nice suprise with sane debut

 

[Jonsilfab]

We were so unlucky to loose that. Was that de bruynes debut?

No, he made his debut against Crystal Palace, when he came on for the injured Agüero.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Last season we ended up losing after having God knows how many shots on their goal. Start fast, press hard and prevail. Going to go for a 3-1 win on this one

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

After good starts for both Chelsea and the rags, we need a win tomorrow and I think we will get one. 2-0.

We lost last year mainly down to defensive lapses, particularly Mangala

Dimitri Payet will play no part for West Ham tomorrow against City. [@ExWHUemployee]

 

[Ric]

Bonus if Payet is out.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Bonus if Payet is out.

I'll be amazed if Bilic risked him, especially with a 2 week break next, would seem like a pointless risk considering I expect them to try and park the bus tomorrow.

 

[Proy]

That is a huge bonus for us. He's a quality player is Payet and I wanted him here in the summer.

I'd imagine they'll be pretty conservative this time. If they go toe to toe it will be a long afternoon for them.

My first game of the season and I've just booked flights hotels for Gladbach. My season starts tomorrow absolutely buzzing for this.

Fairly optimistic Sane might get ~15 minutes. An heroic debut at Old Trafford would be pretty special though :)

 

[citytilllidie]

They'll park the bus and hit on the break. We'll need an early goal, to get them to venture out. Hope this possession thing doesn't bore us to death!

enjoy blue 5-1 city!

 

[No1maters]

Bonus if Payet is out.

A lot of there fans think he is leaving and that's why he's not playing. They say the club don't seem to be being completely honest about his injury situation

 

[@BluePhil8]

Sorry West Ham, going for a 7-0 win today, agree with Ethan's line up.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Missing key players, played on Thursday and the pressures on us to keep up with United/Chelsea. Should be a comfortable win this.

 

[Josep]

Important to see progress in the midfield play - lets see how much the players hv taken on board the new ideas.

We will see more and more parked buses, esp at home. So matches could get "boring". But it isnt our fault if the opponent shows no ambition. It is still our responsibility to break them down though. And no-one breaks down parked buses better than Pep!
