All i can see is a loss TBH, Will need a MASSIVE turn around in form for us to get anything and although Leeds are not great, they have plenty of heart and at home especially seem to lift their game.

Not so much depressed but more apathetic to it this time around, maybe its the mystical West Ham way to fuck things up?

But COYI anyway..............

Pacey young attackers take on a Dad's Army defence. Only one winner

No chance of a win if Moyes is in charge. One of them on thewesthamway put a tweet out saying he's gone that's our only hope here

Perkins to get the winner.

Probably worth copying the Brentford thread.

Will be same comments after the game.

I watched Leeds play Monaco over Xmas break. Monaco tore them a new one with pacey attackers and accurate passing and crossing.

So, Leeds will beat us comfortably as we're slow and can't pass or Cross.

Another loss by 2 goals.

Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

I’m looking at it like this: Moyes will still be infesting the space so this will be a wonderful opportunity for West Ham players and fans to connect and explore their inner gimp together.

Ball-gags and talcum powder at the ready, chaps.

Areola
Kehrer Dawson Aguerd Johnson Emerson

Downes Rice Fornals

Bowen Antonio

Proper wing backs, energy in midfield and pace up front.

Sir Alf 3:50 Sat Dec 31
Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

Good selections their Feet. Watching the team yesterday, Paqueta actually did better at his defensive duties and closing down for 60 mins but then got very wasteful in tge last 30. Again the fans all saying early second half with us creating nothing and Brentford making subs to protect their 2 goal lead, bring on Downes and Fornals and actually put Antonio on for Bowen who had also faded to being anonymous. We could see it at the 60 min but the 2 professionals who’s job it is ( Moyes and tactician Nevin) frozen in the headlights.

Getting Aguerd and Zouma back will help but will probably take a game or two to get up to speed. A take or two we don’t have and Moyes has to be binned surely

Ron Eff 4:07 Sat Dec 31
Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

Line up should be pretty straightforward.

Areola

Kehrer
Emerson/Cresswell, both equally as bad.
Dawson
Aguerd

Downes
Rice
Fornals

Benrahma
Bowen
Scamacca

Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

Johnson should be in ahead of Cresswell and Emerson.

Maybe give Ashby a game before he goes.

Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

I can see Moyes sticking with the 3 at the back. But no doubt he will balls it up by playing cresswell what he sees in him is a mystery of Bermuda triangle proportions. I'd go .
Areola in goal a back 3 of aguerd Dawson kehrer with Ashby at RWB And I'd give Scarles a go at LWB rice fornals and paqueta in midfield.and a front 2 of Bowen and scamacca . Moyes will obviously shit himself as usual and go defensive .

nychammer 5:11 Sat Dec 31
Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

2-0 leeds. Its as predicable as night following day until Moyes is replaced. On to the next.

Where's the energy there then? Rice been playin like his dog just died, Fornals slower than creeping AIDS and Downes the sideways passing extraordinaire. Not exactly Dynamic. The only thing the abject cunt Moyes got right was a Rice and Paqueta midfield pairing, the rest of it was a dogs arse of a lineup.

I'd go:

--------------------------------Areola

------Kehrer-----Dawson----Aguerd--------Johnson

--------------------------Rice------Paqueta
Bowen----------------------------------------------------Benrahma
----------------------Scamacca
-----------------------------------------Antonio

We will of course lose.

Re: ⚽ Leeds v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

Proper relegation dogfight now. Everton and Leeds did well today and Wolves looked good at times against Man U. I think we have to hope we find some defensive solidity from somewhere and that Bournemouth, Southampton and Nottingham Forest get fewer points than us. I think it’s all about Aguerd and I think we should go back five from now on. Not optimistic at all. The team needs a break but they also need to show a lot more fight. I’d drop Scamacca and Antonio (both duds) and play false nine in Bowen for the rest of the season. Back to defensive, counter attacking football. Rice works like a dog but has very little influence further up the pitch. We have a potentially better defence than Soton Forest and Bournemouth. That’s where Moyes’s focus needs to be. Too many stupid goals. Oh and pay Ashby what he wants and play him and Johnson instead of Cresswell and Soufal
