West Ham United (H) - Wed 3rd May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

We'll have to take risks with team selections having Madrid in mind. Guess our plan is to field a strong team vs W Ham in order to secure a win and put Arsenal under pressure before their game with Newcastle. We are likely to field a more experimental team vs Leeds.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Every game is a must win now, every game like a cup final. Have to pick the strongest available side for this one, if we really must rest anybody then do that in the Leeds game.

I’m with you on this Semper.
Imho we have a strongest 15 not 11 so a couple of variables just to freshen up a bit.
Bernie defo starter and hopefully Sir Phillip is ready too.Maybe play Laporte too.
No good resting too many as it will be moot if we drop points.
Hope Nathan and KDB not out for too long hopefully.

Shame we can't trust Phillips for this one

It's time we gave the lad some game time. He's not a junior, he's a £40+mil man, fully seasoned international player.
I'm not Phillips biggest fan but Rhodri is running on fumes at the moment and we need him for bigger games than this.

Expecting another difficult slog of a game. I think we’ll win but will take patience.

As a few have said above would be ideal if Phillips could step in, but he won’t, clearly isn’t trusted at all.

Get the game won early & we can make 5 subs around the 70th minute.

You're having a laugh. The only way we make 5 subs at around the 70th minute will be if 5 players suddenly double over ill on the pitch and even then Pep likely would have them carry on.

Think the rules state we can only sub upto 3 at any one given time.

should be able to rest some here and the fans can make the 12th man,bring the noise and lets push them over the line

 

[M Gaudino]

I’ve triple captained him (I also just bought KDB for this week whilst selling Salah) so you’re probably right.

free yourself from the tyranny of fantasy league. its rubbish
