Happy Days

[Tomshardware]

That was a superb goal.  English sides not doing too well this week.

[happygilmore]

Man city 3 down already. Tie over.

Pep might drown in his own spit.

Haaland non existent these days but will he bag his usual couple of goals against us
 

[twoleftfeet]

Fuck me City are being destroyed 

[Browno22]

Not AWOL tonight ferretspur?

Think Nuno will go 5 at the back, no way can he drop Mav after Monday. I'd like to see Kante start but don't think it will happen;


              HERMANSEN
AWB  MAV  DISASI  TODIBO  DIOUF
         SOUCEK  FERNANDES
            BOWEN     TATY
                 FELIPE/WILSON

[twoleftfeet]

We need Man City to keep in touch with Real Madrid so that they rest a few. 

[kylay]

Summerville having a knock for City and Villa, missing international duty, and coming back rested for the run-in might not be the worst thing to happen. Certainly would rather he stayed healthy. We're going to be in quite a spot of bother if it's any longer than that.

[Sir Alf]

As an aside and opinions and all that but even though Taty has scored 3 headed goals, he is not anywhere near as effective for the overall team as Pablo who has yet to net? 

He makes some touches and passes here and there but generally on the periphery of the game? Perhaps since he’s been up top centrally alone is the issue? Maybe just perception and stats say different? 

Dont get me wrong he starts because we dont have a decent alternative but the “young athletic carthorse” that is Pablo really helps us with his pressing and physical presence even if he is awaiting delivery of a banjo with which to hit a cows arse

[El Scorchio]

There was talk that Summerville came on because Traore was injured or had some fitness concern. Would be classic West ham if they were both out but you can only deal with the cards as they are dealt. 

It was mentioned on the commentary on Monday that we've banned Traore from lifting weights 

Out of material then I see. 

Saying that, you have been for months.

[fraser]

Could Taty play left with Pablo up front in a 4-3-3? 

Soucek, Fernandes and one of Potts, Magassa or Kante behind them.

[dealcanvey]

what not be surprised to see 3 cbs against City now that Summerville is out

[Mad Ferret]

Hammer News has Summerville out for City and Villa , Diouf in front of Scarles on the left could be an option,   

Mayers over Scarles.

[Manuel]

Far from ideal but injuries are part and parcel and we have had a good run in recent times. Just have to hope he is back when they say and he doesn't get the Alan Devonshire flu again.

I'm backing Traore to step up.

[Tomshardware]

Traore on the left if Jimmy is out.  

[Mad Ferret]

Ajala (or any other youth player) is not gonna come on against City and make any sort of difference.

Be real.

[BoleynGone]

Miike,
Kinda agree if no Summerville,though it did look like a bang on his leg and not ligmant,painful for a bit and he'll probably have a big bruise for a few days.5 days recovery.Traore was much better however he needs to help out the defence a lot more or he'll be off after 16 mins. Traore should be up for it if selected,he can charge his ego against Semenyo.
We need alternatives and having Ajala gives us another option. Bet he'll be up for it if on the bench.
The subs will be extra important and Soucek has looked knackered after 75 minutes,we now have Kante who could come on and give much needed energy. Can't see Pablo lasting much more than 65 minutes either. Wilson or extra legs in midfield,Potts over Magassa for me.

[Takashi Miike]

luckily there's a break coming up, I'm not against the big lump starting again wide left. he looked potentially dangerous a couple of times on monday but lacked the final pass/shot. get josh on the bench as another option

[fraser]

Scan shows Crysencio Summerville has a minor calf injury. West Ham confident it’s not too serious but looks like the winger will miss some games

He was taken off at half time in the Villa cup match last year purely as a precautionary measure and we didn't see him for the rest of the reason

 

 

Cornet also has a minor calf strain but hopefully he will be back soon. 

[onsideman]

I couldn't understand why they didn't take Summerville straight off? I thought maybe keeping him for penalties, but didn't take one. I thought bringing Potts on would've been ok.

 

We'd used all 6 subs

Bowen Kante Fernandes Soucek  Diouf 

                    Pablo 


Think Diouf will be better option out wide than Traore. Leave him as a impact sub.  Think Pablo works better up top alone than Taty. Again options from the bench for us. 

Kante keeps his place after midweek,  anyone starting Magassa after his cameo the other night needs to go specsavers. 

Be tough without Jimmy, we have to be wary of our GD next few games without him. 

[Mex Martillo]

I'd fill the midfield and have just the one forward.
