West 'aaaam away

[bouncebrigade]

How about Pacheco?

[MLB]

Despite beating Chelsea, West Ham really aren't very good at all. I fancy us to get a result in this one.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

We've struggled against this type of team. I'm glad Lucas is back.

[the walsh]

difficulit game think it will be a draw 3 points would be great

[Guest LFD]

We have got a game before this!

[kalasoma]

I hope we don't take Lucas to Italy for the Europa League match. I want him fit for Sunday. We need someone in the middle otherwise I think they might run right through us.

[Evelyn Tentions]

A lot of folk are suggesting Gerrard, Shelvey or Sterling as strikers which is all valid but missing the point completely.

They are already IN the team, Luis is out and we have to play someone else to replace him.

If Shelvey or Gerrard, then do we bring in Sahin or Suso, if its Sterling then Assaidi would seem logical. The alternative is to do a straight swap and bring in Morgan (my choice) or Pacheco or Ngoo.

As long as it's not Downing or Cole.

[Guest LFD]

I'd play Shelvey upfront and Assaidi wide.

 

Shelvey did well upfront against Young Boys.

[LFC64]

Might be worth throwing Sterling up as a striker.

 

I'd like to see Sterling central rather than Shelvey. For all Shelvey's merits and promise Sterling's first touch is better.

Shelvey will offer much more physical presence though and will be better at bringing other players in in that particular system. If you're going to play a "false 9" then Sterling really isn't your man.

-----------------Pepe-------------

Johnson----Skrtel-----Agger--Enrique

------------Lucas--Allen------------

Sterling---------Suso--------Assaidi

-----------------Stevie-------------

 

need another win, get some momentum going!

 

would expect the team to be something like

 

--------------Pepe---------------

Johnson--Skrtel---Agger---Enrique

-----------Lucas--Allen----------

Suso-----------Stevie------Sterling

----------------Jonjo--------------

 

wouldn't be disappointed with that mind but would prefer the time I put

[LFC 6 Times]

Think Lucas will have an absolute field day and boss the fuck out of the middle of the park, we're going to need a moment of magic from Stevie, Glen or Raheem to win it I think, Rodgers tactics will be of the utmost importance.

[The Golden Eel]

I'd just replace Suarez with Morgan and play the same team as last weekend otherwise. No chance that'll happen though.

I'm sure Shelvey will get the job and it's not like we have many alternatives but I think he's better suited to playing off the central striker.

 

If we get enough shirts in the box when it matters then it might be irrelevant who plays 'central'.

[TheHitman]

So far we have faced 9 of the 10 teams above us WestHam will be the 10th. We have had four losses and five draws, yet to get a win. It would have been a tough game with Suarez without him it will be even more difficult. Not because they have good individuals but Allaydyces teams are efficient.

 

Fortunately we are pretty good at dealing with the aerial stuff, although I reckon they will target Pepe as the weak link. We need to be careful about giving away stupid free kicks to this mob.

[sir roger]

I've seen a fair bit of West Ham this season & they always seem to be the poorer of the 2 sides involved, but always get a result. I do think they will end up in a lower-middle finishing league placing & hopefully the slide starts on Sunday.

 

I agree with the Hitman that we need to give as few free kicks away in our half as it is a grock-fest on a par with Stoke once you do.

@AMorgan94: Chilling in my hotel room watching X factor, hopefully we get a win against west ham tomorrow!! #biggame

 

Looks like Morgan's in the squad.

 

I would start him.

Not sure I would start him but I'm glad he's in the squad. He could definitely come off the bench and get a goal for us.

[STARDELTA]

Early thread but I'm wondering who you lot of bastards think should start instead of Suarez as he got his 5th yellow today. I'd love to see Morgan get a go myself, with Sterling & Jonjo supporting. Is Morgan up to it though? Looked good in the Next Gen in the week.

Old Stock, your a fuckin ass hole calling us Reds a lot of bastards! go support man utd.

[russ1979]

I would like to see suso starting in suarez's position
