West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[BlueAnorak]

I just think we need our key players for Utd. Sane, Fernandinho, Kompany are all key players. Whether a long trip away in Europe would benefit the likes of Kompany I’m not sure. I agree Sane needs some game time though.

Resting Kompany, Sane, Fernandinho tomorrow is essential. We need them for the derby. Suspended for Swansea but so be it.

Whether it’s the toughest, second toughest or sixth toughest, it’s considerably harder than West Ham at Home when talking about Kompany and Dinho being needed more for the former.

Was only joshing.

Sane has 3 yellow cards or 4 ??I read Sane has 3 yellow cards only !

Agree

He'd be suspended if he got 5 before 2018. One in the league cup as well.

Not sure how wise it is picking players on the basis of cards. They could easily get injured in training, slipping in the house or even travelling in the back of a cab, and they don’t then play in either game. Most important game, currently, is West Ham.

Luckily Pep is aware of it and has talked of potentially rotating those out that are essential for the Derby.

Need to play Bernardo and Foden together today in the centre AND on Wednesday. We need to rotate more in the next three months or risk injury problems
With Sane, Kompany and Fernandinho on 4 yellows they need to be rested too.
So for me it's.

-------------------- Ederson
Danilo Otamendi Mangala Delph
---------------- YaYa/Gundogen
Sterling Bernardo Foden Kevin
----------------------- Aguero

Same on Wednesday but with Tosin in for Mangala with Mangala at left back instead of Delph. Diaz in for Sterling, Jesus in for Aguero and Silva in for Kevin.

Not one single player in the first 11 should be on that plane

I'd agree but I think Pep would like to continue the run of unbeaten games at least. The uproar from the press would be unbelievable if we did that as well.- They'd try and get us a points deduction at the very least - even though you could play anyone from the squad.
