West Ham (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Personally I think it’s one change too many but with De Bruyne playing we are still full of creativity. Big big game for Torres today. Needs to take his chance.

I'll give it 2 minutes before the match day thread calls Sergio shit.

Even that’s generous.

Why's that?

Every game we play is "the most difficult yet" lol

Good team. That front 3 is dangerous, but I do worry about the pressing.

 

[SiMCFC]

Perfect team against a physical West Ham, Silva, Rodri, Foden, Jesus, Cancelo all hopefully rested is fantastic imo.

Bit unfair on Bernie he's been on fire.
Fully agree with Sterling being dropped, shocking recently.

He has, but a rest maybe what he needs.

Agree re Sterling

Bit surprised Foden not starting as he didn’t play in CL

Mendy on the bench again.

I wonder what the plan is with him. He's the one player in the squad who's not involved or playing well, but he must be doing pretty well in training for Pep to keep putting him on the bench and we've not heard of any trouble with his training or effort etc.

Perhaps he'll make an appearance if we get ahead early on in a game. Can't sell him if he doesn't play at all and in this covid affected season he could be thrown into the starting XI at any moment.

quite some bench that.

We usually have a strong bench but that’s a STRONG bench today. And the starting 11’s not bad either.

Tough game for all sorts of reasons but if the hammers are not at it today we could run amok. Would love to see what Sergio does with a few decent chances.

Bernie hasn’t been playing in the front 3...
