West Ham Vs City Pre Match Discussion Thread

[Ducado]

Well its the start of a long list of away fixtures that cumulates with Newcastle in the League Cup.

Have not really seen much of West Ham, but I can imagine what they play like with Fat Sam as the manager (The Fat Sam who could manage any club in the world including Real Madrid) I can't imagine it will be good to watch

We have to get over our poor away form and this run of games will give us the chance

Score predictions and all discussion in here please

Saturday October 19th 2013 5:30 kick off, so it will be on Sky

Our away form to turn around starting here with a 0-2 win.

Negredo and Yaya.

West Ham have looked totally average to me. Without Carroll out they have no goals. That Maiga (spelling) is awful from what I've seen.
Am expecting a nice big away win ( oh no I hear you all say). keep the faith.

If Dzeko starts over Negredo I will fucking lose it.

Time to start a run on the back of yesterday's performance, so three points are a must.

A must win game, considering we have Chelsea away next.

A win at West Ham and a draw at Chelsea will be a very good return, considering away results so far.

We've seen off our bogey team, let's get rid of this ridiculous away curse.

I got the score right against the blue scousers, so I'm going for another 3-1 win for the mighty blues, come on City!

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

In my opinion this game is a make or break game.

The league is taking shape and we need to keep in touch with the form teams at the top.

A win away at West Ham would give everyone a lift and It could be the platform the rest of the season is built upon.

If we were to lose I can't see us being able to put any kind of title challenge together and it will be about us lot trying to get in to the top 4.

Like someone said already after West Ham is Chelsea away, so it really is a MUST win game.

We have enough talented players to win this one, we should have won at Villa and I suspect the team formation will be the same with two up front. IMO I would revert to having just one up front either Negredo or Aguero but in midfield it would be Yaya, Fernandhino,Milner, Silva and Nasri which should provide enough midfield support to provide cover to the defence and support the attack. If we need that bit of pace up front then swap Navas for either Nasri or Milner. By having Milner and Fernandhino it would allow for Yaya to play behind the striker in an advanced role without him having to worry too much about defensive duties.
