West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[mosssideblue]

It’s absolutely obvious that the squad is definitely deep enough to change two players and beat West Ham but probably not deep enough to have those two missing from United and beat them.

Because United are better than West Ham.

It’s not exactly rocket science.

No its not rocket science nor is ensuring we rock up there with an 8 point advantage. It's all ifs buts and maybes and arguments have been put fwd from both camps. me I am firmly in the camp of WH is the more important game due to rags winning. If we can do that without key players, great but that is a risk only pep can decide whether he wishes to take.

If he were to play those only one booking away and they get themselves booked (not through poor reffing), who is to blame Pep or the player?

The starting line up on Wednesday should not include a single player who will start at the swamp

Agree with this but I suspect pep might not

If Gundogan starts he really needs to have a good match. Gunna be crucial we get good performances out of him or Ferny will be all used up. Still think getting another mid might not be a bad idea at the January transfer window,

Sounds like they have a lot of injuries at the moment. No excuses not winning this one.

Pre match embargo extras, starts around 28 secs

No, I wouldn’t mess with the formation mate, although he could do, but the personnel can change. There’s no point having a squad if we’re not going to use it. Would you risk Vinny today with his injury record, baring in mind it’d be his 3rd game in a week?

I should have used the term 'personnel' rather than 'formation'.
The two players you are suggesting we should play could weaken the formation to such an extent that we end up losing the game.

Is Sane on 4 bookings? Thought he was on 3.

Get full team out apart from Sterling and The Prince. Smash 'em 6 nowt.

Your last paragraph is surely making the point that those 3 players shouldn’t play

That makes less sense than those wanting the strongest side. You’re saying to rest two players not in danger of a yellow banning them for the derby and play the three tha are.
