West Ham United (H) - Sat 4th Jan, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (GMT).

It'd be nice if the new year could be a fresh starting point for us. Still think we have a lot to work on after that Leicester win though.

It is a chance to put back-to-back wins together which would be nice after the recent run.

How many new signings can we register in time

 

[youngbob]

Ortega
Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis
Kovacic
McAtee, Foden, Grealish, Savinho
Haaland

Give Gvardiol, De Bruyne, and Bernardo a rest. Don't see us winning this because we need signings to solve the problems we have, and West Ham will do us on the counter with Bowen at least once, but if we can keep this unbeaten run going then we can start to rebuild the season.

almost a week off ,no reat needed ,you can give them some rest against Salford. Really need to put in a winning run of some kind.

3-0 City on Saturday.

3-0 City on Saturday.

A must win game and I think we will do just enough to get it.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

……………Ortega………………
Lewis Akanji Ake Gvardiol
……………Kovacic………………
Savinho KDB Silva Doku
………….Haaland……………..

3-0 city

 

[handsofstone]

They are so bad at tracking runners off the ball.... so they will have no problems against us

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

They are crap watching this.

I think we will win this one fairly easily.

3-1

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Looking at how utterly shite they've been this evening I'll go for a win.
That said we'll continue to be pretty pedestrian and struggle with our press as we simply don't have the personnel for it until we get a couple of signings over the line in January.
Mcatee has to be shoehorned in surely??

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Our 1-match long win streak will continue!

 

[Manchester_lalala]

We’re shit, but West Ham are hopeless. Should be two wins in a row.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Ortega, Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Mcatee, Savinho, Haaland

 

[Goater101]

Hoping to see a couple faces back.

If so I’d go Ortega; Walker Stones Akanji Ake; Kovacic Bernardo Mcatee; Savio Haaland Doku

 

[Really_here]

Early days but today's win seems to have boosted the "win" votes for this one 8-)
Welcome back

 

[Zenmanc]

If McAtee didn't earn a start after today's short cameo (his self pass down the line was the initial move that resulted in the second goal) I'm not sure how he's not already planned to be shipped out or doesn't ask for a move.

 

[uwerosler28]

There is no chance Mcatee starts this as long as Pep is still in the hot seat , needs at least 4-5 cameos like today before he gets considered for a start.

Look shit against the dippers

Good chance West Ham manager will be sacked before the game on Saturday

McAtee must play instead of Foden on current form
