West Ham United (A) - Sat 16th Sept, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Blue Theatre]

Quite optimistic for this one ( if everyone is healthy)

Some stats : West Ham : After 4 games ; 18 shots conceded per game ( in games against Chelsa and Brighton 42 , 14 on target )

Meanwhile ; we had ; 68 shots (4th in the league) ; ( Brighton 83 , Tottenham 73, C Palace 69)

2865 passes ( 100 more than Chelsea , and 400 more than 3rd Brighton on that list )

57 key passes ( second to Brighton 71)

And we have "solid" defence

Judging from those (very early) stats, looks like it's between us & Brighton for the title, with Chelsea or Spurs an outside bet ?

Maybe Nunes does start this one? Just purely based on he will have not played the internationals and had time to work with the coaches, fitness staff etc

He puts out stupid teams every week for a reaction

Let's see who's fit after international duties...

This.

I wouldn't be surprised if Phil gets a kicking when Waistcoat starts him against the Jocks.

He will if that snide **** Robertson is playing

He will if that snide **** Robertson is playing

Hopefully our players don’t get picked versus Scotland

Hopefully our players don’t get picked versus Scotland

I’m afraid they will. Harry, Hendo and the other big guns need resting.

 

[Ric]

Without wishing to tempt fate and assuming no new injuries, reckon it’ll be something like this:

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Foden
Bernardo
Grealish
Haaland

Going to be a very tough game, and wouldn’t be surprised if we drop points. A win would be an exceptional result in the circumstances.
