West Ham 5/4 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tredman]

Saiss has to take on an beat Antonio today, otherwise it will be a repeat of earlier this season.

I wonder if we'd have played with 5 though.

I've been thinking for a while that when Podence comes back we will play 4231 again, shame we never get to find out if that was the plan or forced on us

To quote a bit of a cyber-ism, a bunch of our team are "due" a goal

Bench back to being like a Grange Hill cast meeting

Chance to shine Rodney ,Chance to shine.

Think Donck is going to be very important. Without him at their place they cut through us on the break so easily, think he had to start in midfield regardless if Joao was fit

 

[PuntsWolf]

I like the line up offensively, but Antonio could have a field of a day with that back 4.

Tore us apart in a 5 running into vacated channels and no midfield protection.

It’s more how you play rather than what you play.

Jose
Adama
Coady

all to score with a 3 2 win makes you a very rich man for a fiver

 

[Tredman]

I can see there being some massive gaps between the front 4 and back 6 today.

 

[Tony Towner]

I would have played Donck at the back, Vitinha in the middle and Podence out wide given the options. Can't see us conceding less than 3

 

[Paul]

I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised tonight, just wait and see

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Have we abandoned Adama and Neto being "inverted"?

That's what we have to guard against today.

They're missing Rice and Neto and Podence should have some space against Noble and Soucek.

Don't you have any other channels on your TV?

 

[AndyWolves]

We wanted 4231 didn't we?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We wanted 4231 didn't we?

Just a pity we only seem to play it when we have a half a team missing,

 

[Kenny]

We wanted 4231 didn't we?

And all it took was an ACL and a positive Covid test to get it. We are blessed by the God's of forced football tactics indeed

No

Not with the car running judging by your normal matchday posts
