West Ham Match thread

[gaz181]

Torres, Kuyt, Johnson and Skrtel all passed fit.

[Mr Nando]

To be fair they have played well most the season in contrast to the turgid shite we've played, they have actually played better than us and try to attack whilst playing on the ground. They just don't have the luxury of a player like Gerrard to get them out the mire like we do. They are due one, think they've only lost 2 all season despite being bottom they've drawn about 9 or something. They won't be as easy as the table might have you beleive. They have a decent manager and if we start they way we normally do will smell blood.

 

True and they managed to draw at Stoke and beat Spurs.

[dennis tooth]

How many of our players played in friendlies last night I wonder?

 

Surely more of our players would have been playing than West Hams?

 

Our squad is going to be depleted and a bit tired too most likely.

 

Another reason we won't win, good point, we look shattered thanks to Roy's tactics, less ball=more running, less rotation and less focus on general fitness and sharpness under Roy. Another reason he is out of his depth and hopefully will get sacked after this.

[PaulMcC]

West Ham are that bad, we'll win.

I think our players are going to be shattered. Its been 4 games for some of them in 10/11 days is it?

 

As for the result. I have no idea. Going on the past few games coupled with Gerrard out and our players coming back from midweek Internationals would point to it being either a bore draw or West Ham victory.

 

But under Roy I've just given up trying to anticipate whats going to happen.

[Trucker Paddy]

Pepe

 

Kelly

Skertel

Carragher

Konchesky

 

Maxi

Merelis

Spearing

Jovanivic

 

Kuyt

Torres

 

That team will win

2-0 West Ham.

Hodgson sacked.

Of a Tuesday.

I hope we win and he gets sacked.

[Red Banjo]

I predict frustration and negativity.

 

I hope for neither, but i have zero faith in the team going out and attacking. And unfortunately i can only throw blame one way for that.

 

Fail

[Unrighteous]

West Ham are that bad, we'll win.

 

And we're shitting golden doubloons at the moment...

[Monster Masch]

Meireles and Spearing in central midfield on Saturday please Roy.

 

Same. I'd even give Jovanovic a game up front beside Torres in a 4-4-2 formation. I know he's been brutal but he hasn't played his natural position and I'd love to see something different. Ideally, I'd try Pacheco beside Torres but we know that is not going to happen.

 

N'Gog has a stronger case than anyone at the moment and has been making an impact from the bench recently.

Spot on Gav. Should be seeing something different.

[cmuller]

With so many players potentially out it's hard to pick a side so I just want the starting XI not to contain Babel, Poulsen, Konchesky and Skyrtel.

 

I'd like to see Pacheco and Shelvey given a go in their proper positions but the manager will probably go with ineffective experience.

[18-5]

West Ham are quite bad but with our form and injury list I cannot really feel confident.

 

Also, how good a job did Zola do to keep that shower of shit in the premier league?!

[Chinandeler Bong]

Id go -

 

REINA

 

KELLY-CARRA-SOTO-AURELIO

 

JOHNSON-RAUL-SPEARING-MAXI

 

KUYT-TORRES

What's wrong with Skrtel? He's been one of our better players this season.

[Chinandeler Bong]

He is becoming a bit of a liability with his antics in the penalty area.

[Monster Masch]

He is becoming a bit of a liability with his antics in the penalty area.

 

Yeah all them penalties he's giving away.

[MLB]

I'd go:

 

 

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

 

Kelly Kyrgiakos Carra Aurelio

 

Johnson Mereiles Spearing Kuyt

 

--------Torres N'Gog

 

 

I reckon we're more likely to see Kuyt up top with Torres with Maxi on the right and Jovanovic on the left.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Yeah all them penalties he's giving away.

 

I said Becoming.

[Code]

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

Kelly - Carra- Kyrigiakos - Konchesky

---------Meireles-Poulsen

--Maxi--- Pacheco ----- Babel

-----------Torres------

 

Subs:

WHO CHANGED MY THREAD TITLE??????

 

MYPOST IS A DISEASE AND PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A MYPOST FREE ZONE.

 

LOOOOOOOOOOUD NOISES!!!!

[Red Banjo]

I said Becoming.

 

I agree. Its unreal how he's got away without being penalised yet.

 

And he's getting more and more reckless. It needs to stop now.

[RobC]

I feel the same about Skrtel, it's only a matter of time before refs start giving penalties against him. I bet if we get Phil Dowd he'll give one just because he's seen Skrtel holding on TV.

He looks like he should dominate in the air and chip in with goals from set pieces like Nemanja VD itch, but he seems to have gone backwards.
