West Ham(h) Match Thread

[LFC 6 Times]

looking forward to this one have done superbly against bottom half opposition home and away this season, it finally looks like we have the mixture of players to break down 2 stubborn banks of four. Would bring Sturridge in for downing and play him on the right of a 3.

---------------------------Reina--------------------------------

Johnson----------Carra-------Agger-------------Enrique

------------------Gerrard------Lucas-------------------------

---------------------Henderson-----------------------------

Sturridge-----------Suarez-----------Coutinho

 

3-1 win, Suarez with 2.

[John McClane]

agree with all of that. do it Brendan.

[Guest LFD]

According to the training pics, that will be the team.

That will do for me.

Thought Gerrard was banned for this game after 5th yellow card against Villa.

Nah, he has 5 cards this season but not 5 since Jan 1st.

 

Suarez has to be careful in our next two games as he's on 9 and the next cut off is the 2nd Sunday of this month...

You need to get 5 bookings before the end of Dec to get the ban.

10 by the middle of april for the 2 match ban.

[wevegot5]

Ha ha. Cheers lads. Told all the Pikeys i know he's banned. Can't wait to see their faces when he trots out on Sunday. Won't spoil it for them.

[Dr. J]

Even with expectations face down on the floor I can't seen anything less than 3 points from this match.

 

3-0.

Swap Sturridge and Suarez and that's the team for sunday

[Guest ShoePiss]

Can't wait for this, 5.30am ko after a night on the ale watching the Timbers.

[MLB]

We'll batter them.

Get a grip mate. You'll never make it to kick off.

[kalasoma]

Do we need the 'hope we get beat' tag for this one?

 

I thought maybe Brendan would stick with the same team that beat Villa and maybe bring Sturridge on in the second half. But Sturridge is fully fit now, yes?

[Guest LFD]

Swap Sturridge and Suarez and that's the team for sunday

 

Yeah maybe.

 

I hope they inter change and take turns being wide and central.

[Barnesey]

If Sturbridge plays he must be up top dragging defenders deeper giving the little genius more room to create havoc.

 

Bring it on

Not sure this deserved its own thread but there is an article on the mail website about successful crossing (mail, I know, sorry) which i can't link I'm afraid but it comes as no surprise we have the lowest %

 

It has bugged me for years, seemingly, how shit we are at crossing the ball. Although I guess some of this is due to lack of numbers in the box.

Actually said it during the villa game thread, we may as well have hooked downing early as there was nobody in the box when crossing.

Should be That 11 but not sure downing won't start. Henderson deserves to start but downing gives us better balance on right. Coutinho left suarez behind sturridge, henderson right? Not sure that will happen

[Bobby Hundreds]

Its not on tv is it?

[The Golden Eel]

Its not on tv is it?

 

No fuck sake. Only found that out an hour ago, had been assuming I would be chilling out and wtahcing it, now I'll have to arse about with a stream. Bollocks

[The Golden Eel]

Same team as last week

[Red Banjo]

How the fuck is Downing being picked ahead of Sturridge?

 

Baffling

[LFC 6 Times]

same team as last week, dissapointed for sturridge.
