West Ham (H) - EFL Cup Quarter Final, Wed 20th Dec 2023 (8:00pm)

[No2]

Should be a good game, I reckon Moyes will go for it, he's got that trophy winning feeling now. 3-1 the reds, Darwin hatrick.

[El Rojo]

A big step towards the cup if we win. 

 

While it's tempting to name reserves, once again we were a bit disjointed on Sunday after playing a weakened team a few days previously. Go as strong as we can for this and for Arsenal. 

 

Surely we deserve a bit of luck with Mac Allister and Jota. Any word on them?

[Aventus]

We're potentially looking at a semi final against Port Vale, Middlesbrough, or Everton. Why would we want to pass up that opportunity? 

[Scott_M]

Sounds like they’ll all be back for Saturday. 
 

As long as his leg isn’t hanging off, I’d have Mac Allister on the bench tomorrow regardless. He’s a great penalty taker. He’d be worth bringing on in the 97th minute just for his subsequent penalty. 
 

[bossy]

Just win it. I’d be very happy with a win and a great performance, but I’ll take any success. Come on Red Men!

[NoelM]

 

Most reports saying Mac Allister out of Arsenal and Burnley games.

[Kevin D]

Book writing twat.

[TheHowieLama]

Best case for this is a win and Nunez in with a couple golas/assists to boost his "per 90 minutes" stat but still leaving his "in the league" stat to look shit.

That is important.

Agree. Till we face Everton and all the Drama Quims will be shitting themselves.

[No2]

Is there extra time in the QF?

Nice one centurion.

Repped for the Life of Brian reference but your hatred of Nunez is a fucking shocker. 

 

 

 

 

Great race the Romans. 

[Creator Supreme]

Stig mate, he's shite. No matter how much you back him, and to be fair most Reds are, he's not going to cut the mustard here.

 

It will be cruel when he gets put out of his misery, but enough is enough.

[BeefStroganoff]

What do they do in training? Doak has hardly kicked a ball.

[Fugitive]

I didn’t realise we were playing tonight and forgot we were still in this competition.

Shit myself then, I'm supposed to be taking my lad to it.

442 Smash em early and use the bench to rest players. 

 

[Anubis]

After Everton last night we now need to win this so we can continue laughing.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The Liverpool script makes me think we get beat tonight. I think I'd just go strong selection and have players play into form. The experimentation would be Szobozlai out on the right and Salah in the middle. Trent and Szobozlai where they are currently playing just seems convoluted.

I heard  Mac new year earliest, Jota back in training and Grav not as bad as first thought and he could resume training today.  Nothing on Thiago or Robertson . Doak apparently needs surgery

West Ham will cause us a lot more problems than we had on Sunday, but our performance level should improve too. 

[El Rojo]

Wataru Endo paid off my mortgage on Sunday. 

 

If he does the business again tonight, my kids get to go to college. 

 

He's literally changing lives.
