West Ham (A) 27/9 Build up

[Premier Quality]

could be a tougher game than I thought....

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Are we giving them one of our players to make it fair?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They can have Rodders if they want.

 

[Freddeno]

Can Semedo start right away so we can move Traore higher up?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yes, of course he can.

I doubt you will ever see Adama there again.

 

[Kenny]

Yes, of course he can.

I doubt you will ever see Adama there again.

Only way it happens is if we lose Semedo & Hoevre through injury

Are the rules in the Prem League on Covid different to the EFL? 1 Grimsby player has tested positive and their game v Cheltenham at the weekend is off. Yet West Ham get 2 players and the manager it goes ahead

Is it because all Premier League squads are being tested but not in the EFL? On that basis Grimsby don't know who might have it whereas West Ham have players with negative tests?

 

[Freddeno]

Yes, of course he can.

Nice

Someone was paid money - real money, not chocolate coins - to write/put that graphic together

Yes, it costa lot of money.

There's a regime in place for the Prem, but League clubs have basically been left to fend for themselves- hence Spurs having to sort tests for Orient in the week. Grimsby have no idea how many of their squad might have it asymptomatically, but West Ham can have a high degree of confidence that no one who hasn't already been diagnosed doesn't have it.

3 points would be immense but i think it will be a draw

Yep, think this will be tougher than a lot of people think. Thought WHU looked OK against Arsenal after being awful against Newcastle. Think they 'won' the Arsenal game on xG. But let's unleash Adama and Nelson from the kick off. "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war."

yes, Adama is "The special one"

Don't think a draw is a very good result for us. West Ham aren't very good, we are a much better team than them I expect us to win.

I agree. If we have aspirations of improving our points/league position again, these are the games we need to be winning. West Ham aren’t great. Look at the two sides -

Patricio > Fabianski
Semedo > Fredericks
Boly > Balbuena
Coady > Ogbonna
Saiss > Creswell
Vinagre/Masuaku
Neves > Soucek
Moutinho > Rice
Neto > Bowen
Jimenez > Antonio
Traore > Fornals

Apart from possibly LWB, we are better than them in every area of the pitch IMO. Of course, anything can happen in a game of football, but we should be looking to pick up all three points.

Most importantly we've got a better manager/system as well.

Anything can happen in a game of football of course (just look at Albion having 3 shots and going 3 up Vs Chelsea in 30 minutes last night) but if we don't come away with a win it'll be points dropped.

100% agree.

 

[Freddeno]

i would be disappointed as well, but being a bit realistic it could just be a draw. We have too good record against them to win again i think...so we must slip a bit now..draw

No sign of Podence in the training video from Thursday, wonder if he’s injured?
