West Ham United (H) - Sun 19th May, 16:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Rammy Blue]

I'd go with almost the same team, but with Grealish to start. Doku to come on with circa 20 mins left and hopefully have some fun with the damage largely done by then.

I think Doku first at home in this game, then Grealish later on to close the game out.

Let's not forget the positives going into this game: it's completely in our hands after navigating the tricky Spurs fixture, we've got a virtually fully fit squad apart from Eddy, we're playing a mid table team. And, it's Pep vrs a manager who has already cleared his desk. Not saying I won't be nervous but the challenge could be so much worse if circumstances and fixture list was different.

NO complacency by the fans.

Many seem to think it's all over and won........it isnt !!

We need to trip the metre,no debits,no credits.

It's a one off cup final with no escape route, penalties or second chances.

Win and we're Immortal Champions, lose and.........

We need to guard agin expectation and entitlement and get right behind the lads with a ferocious,fervent atmosphere.

This is not a friendly testimonial....its shit or bust !!

Pep will be wary of their transition potential. I reckon Kovacic is more likely to start than those two.

Then unleash Doku and/or Grealish as they tire.

Is this from an anthology of Ian Hollowayisms?

Dirty Dyche's Desperados will fuck them over with their shithousery.

Hope so. Dyche would certainly enjoy that

I’d play:


Ortega

Walker Akanji Ake Gvardiol

Rodders

Bernardo Foden KDB Doku

Haaland

There's a small chance, say, 5%, that we don't win the game: due to a red card, hitting the post 5 times, conceding goals from deflected shots, etc. But there's a small chance that Arsenal don't win their game too.

Get behind the team no matter what. Fans can decide the title if we struggle on the pitch.
