West Ham United (A) - Sat 14th March, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Frankie lad]

Probably because with Arsenal likely to beat Everton at home, even a draw for us is probably going to see us out of two competitions in the space of 3 days.

We then have Arsenal in the League Cup final next weekend.

Lose that on top of the first two and it's pretty much season over on the space of 10 days.

We will win at WH.
Not writing us off for next Tuesday either.
Im not an optimist I’m just used to the rollercoaster.

[St.Pauli support]

With many players fit now the bench will be too small for them all.

Be interesting to see who'll be left home.

two of Ake, Stones, Lewis, Khus, Ait Nouri enough for bench.
OReilly was out of the Forest match squad now fit so one more than Lewis will be left out I guess. Stones my guess.
not sure if Alleyne is injured or not but he aint featuring much. poor guy we brought him back threw him into deep end and now wondering if he would be better off playing at Watford gaining match experience.

 

[Goater101]

The Rodri/Bernardo pairing has too stop now. You either always play NOR alongside them or Nico G comes into the side.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The fighting team who beat Newcastle!

Don't underestimate Everton their away record is very impressive, won 4 of the last 5 away & away record is only bettered by arsenal this season.

No wonder we were beaten. A huge hole in midfield.

Compare and contrast with our best teams under Pep, where there were invariably four players in the centre of midfield.

Doku, Rodri and Haaland off the bench with 30 munutes to go.

 

[alexmcity]

Rodri can't start 3 games a week, it's too risky. Doku is back from injury, it's risky for him too.

Pep and the team haven't written off the 2nd leg vs Real. We'll need Rodri and Doku from the start at the Etihad. Against W Ham they may be more useful as subs in the 2nd half.

More importantly, where are people drinking before the game?

 

[Master-Lotus]

If Haaland plays we lose.

 

[sarcastico]

Going to be funny to see how the Haaland bench advocates react if it indeed happens and City lose here.

If anything, he shouldn't start the Madrid game.

Alleyne is fit again and played with the young lads last week.
His time at Watford should not have been interrupted. It was a short term gain for us.

More importantly, whose round is it?

Thank You, but we will not have any Gerry & The Pacemakers songs on here!

Minus Savinho.
