West Ham (A) - 27/02/22 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Carsy]

I thought Fabio did well last night helping Nelson to the tunnel.

Agreed. Good to see him starting the repay the hefty investment. Generational talent

Please don’t feed Johnny….

Please don’t feed Johnny….

You got love from Mark. That must feel great...

For me a more important game than the arsenal one. Looking as if arsenal and United will fight for fourth and fifth. Ofcourse we had a slight chance for fourth, but realistically 6th is far more achievable.

A win here would be massive against one of our rivals. Hoping we don’t suffer a hangover from the manner of the defeat.

Semedo will be a huge loss as well, with hoever not in the same postcode and Jonny understandable being rusty

See that Wolves have stayed down in London after the Arsenal game.

There's a 2 for 1 meal deal at Stratford KFC. Protein AND save the pennies!

Southgate is at the game today to watch Kilman and Bowen. Puts a lot of pressure on him given the Ukrainian situation - Mirror says his grandad still lives there.

Our 352 is not that good at all and the bolster in midfield removes any real attacking threat . Raul looks shot at the moment. Bench him and play a three of Neto Hwang Podence up top. I could also go to a back four and have Saiss in midfield .
Sa
Jonny Coady Kilman Marcal
Neves Moutinho Saiss
Neto Hwang Podence

harsh on RAN but the rest won’t hurt him or Raul. This has more attacking threat and stops too much long stuff. Good pace on the counter too .

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Marcal is shit, that’s the issue.

No way does Marcal offer more attacking threat than RAN...Marcal is a last resort imo. Wouldn't mind the rest of your team but would rather Donk or Cundle in midfield rather than Saiss

 

[Alan]

All I can say is that we had better have a little bit of luck. Between the Arsenal match and Charlotte last night, I'm pretty over losing for the week.

Great idea, go into a match that could define our season and go to four at the back with a player just back from a really long injury that hasn’t played in a back four for years. Top it off by playing a player who hasn’t played in midfield for three seasons in midfield. Maybe we should play Ruddy as well….

That hasn't got any extra threat above the usual 343 you've just pushed a centre half into midfield.

I rather shamelessly put Bowen in my fantasy side, so the likely outcome is he gets sent off after missing a pen.

 

[Loki]

I just want it put on record. I hate Bowen!

Hopefully! No offence

Managed to negotiate the afternoon in the pub to watch. Could all be ruined by 4pm!

Bowen's on fire and he's shagging Dani Dyer

Same for me. Westham are a fairly big team so donk will play
