West Ham (h) pre-match thread

[brummie blue]

So no Hart because of the loan, so Adrian plays, who will no doubt have a blinder, wanting to keep his place. And Zaba will score of course. Still thinking 3 or 4-1 to us.

Nice touch from West Ham to make Zabaleta captain,hope that’s the only joy he gets today oh as well as a warm welcome from the fans..

Someone better get word to Leroy; don't you dare go tackling people!

I hope Delph does play midfield and has a blinder (along with EM).

Who the hell is upfront for West Ham? Looks like two banks of 5 with that team.

We'll be against a 5-5-0 for about 90% of our matches until Pep leaves. Teams are now just aiming to take advantage of set pieces rather than actual attacks.

It'll be his reaction to zabba crunch that will get him as thats what he gets booked for usually and being gobby to the ref

He has, get early goals and get key players off

I think we’ll murder these today.

If we’re 2 or 3 up at half time I would drag Sane off even if he is kicking or screaming. Too important to us to be missing for the derby.

Looking at their team, they have no intention of coming to play football. It’s damage limitation and defensive exercise.
