West Ham Match thread

[Fugitive]

All shit, moaning and general footballing chatter in here.

[Unrighteous]

Thank god, Fuge. I was thinking that he'd have finally have won the match thread.

[StevieH]

Meireles and Spearing in central midfield on Saturday please Roy.

I'd be more than happy with that but we all know that Poulsen will start. How fucking very depressing.

[redsoxs]

Injuries will be a worry with are present poor performances

 

Torres??

Gerrard??

Cole

Agger

[llego]

Wait what? Torres is injured?

[paddyberger15]

Ace thread. I always prefer the Kanwar free ones.

[scania94]

Didn´t he play for Spain yesterday?!

[Kurt]

Wait what? Torres is injured?

 

Torres picked up a knock against Stoke, so it depends on how he responds after playing 45 min yesterday.

 

The major doubts/already ruled out are...

 

Torres

Gerrard

Johnson

Cole

Agger

Skrtel

Wilson

Kuyt.

 

If all are out It will be interesting to see how we line up, I guess Roy would pick something like..

 

Reina

Kelly

Carra

Kyrgiakos

Konchesky

Spearing

Poulsen

Schelvey

Jovanovic

Meireles

N`Gog

 

If that is the team, we will be in big trouble. Hopefully Torres and/or Kuyt will be available.

[Guest LFD]

I'd like to see:

 

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

 

Kelly-----Carragher------Skrtel-------Aurelio

 

Johnson----Shelvey----Meireles--------Cole

 

--------------Ngog------Torres-------------

[Unrighteous]

Johnson and Cole are still injured, LFD. Torres is a doubt, and Spain/England can go fuck themselves for risking our key players.

Oh right.

 

Well if Torres doesn't play, I still fancy Ngog to finish any chances - the problem is with no Cole or Gerrard, I'm not sure we have anyone to supply the striker who plays.

[Unrighteous]

Pacheco could give us a late spark, but Hodgson won't play him.

[Tyler Durden]

I'm not confidant against any team in the league this year, bore draw.

And when you say 'league', you mean all 4 divisions aswell don't you?

[Guest PurpleNose]

Think they may insert one.

[gaz181]

If we press them from the start and get an early goal we'll win comfortably, regardless of who's out injured. If we sit back though.......

So... you're saying we're fucked?

[Wor Horse]

Betting on West Ham will be like free money. No way we're winning this one.

[Code]

I wish we had signed Scott Paker in the summer instad of Poulsen and Jones, I guess that would almost have covered his fee.

[Guest LFD]

In hindsight maybe I would play Soto - I don't think we need his ability in the air defensively against West Ham, however he might be our biggest threat and most likely scorer at corners.

 

Might be worth a cheeky bet on him being first scorer.

'Fraid so mate. Not looking forward to it at all.

[ngogswilly]

1-0 to us.

 

Long punt from Reina bounces over Greens head.

[ctkeepercoach]

This may be just the nudge that Roy needs to be sent packing if the result is poor. He'll of course blame the injuries and other factors, so it shouldn't be his fault and he shouldn't be judged for 80-100 games now that he's had this little setback....

Whats the latest on Gerrard's fitness?
