wouldn't be at all surprised if Fernando and Dzeko play though

Why have 2 keepers on the bench?.

Hart

Zab

Kolarov

Navas
Ya Ya
Fernandinho
Silva

Kolarov and Dzeko will be playing.. hard to be optimistic.

Think he'll pick this as well, our defence is gonna be dodgy as fuck especially with big sams hoof the ball and set pieces.

1-0 hammers

We won't lose this, West Ham are worse off than we are at the moment.

Aguero knows the golden boot is possible now Costa is injured and he will be well up for it.

So West Ham will play a blinder then.

Aguero can only do so much, his recent blip has been because the team's been shit and he's had no service, meaning he's tried to do too much himself by dropping into midfield.

usual 4 4 2 on paper but really a genius 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 formation and the same tactics zabba bombing on and navas getting in the way, mangala rushing out at every oppurtunity, toure in an advanced position when we are defending but dropping deep and catching his breath when attacking, silva on the left wing but wandering in, dzeko posing for his madame tussaud dummy and sergio wondering whats going on, Lampard to make an appearance as a clive dunn super sub with 30 secs to go

*(milner)* denotes positions Jimmy will play when brought on

Brilliant!!

What an absolute waste of time Bony has been.

An utterly ineffective purchase in every way possible: -

Very large fee paid and high wages trousered by player/agent/selling club ..... check
Absent for 6 weeks playing somewhere else ..... check
Turns up not looking fit, then completely ineffective when on the field ..... check
Gets injured and out again ..... check

Time to jog on my little Rag friend.

Oh dear - ok then rednose, go ahead and tell me what a superb impact hes had?

Maybe sticking with Jovetic and avoiding pissing him off would've been a better course of action, given Bonys contribution has been little above zilch.

We knew he was away at the AFCON so signing him was plain daft. Like Ya Ya, hes come back knackered out and completely ineffective. Edin as usual will be slagged off but again will have to be relied upon by us with the injuries elsewhere. Perhaps if we slung the odd decent cross into the box Edin might look a better striker - just a thought.

Any Aguero injury drops us right in it again, with Bony and Jovetic once again injured.

If you genuinely believe that is a similar comparison, then you haven't been watching Yaya recently.
