Well after the disappointment of the Liverpool surrender-fest, next up it's the challenge of Man Utd away.

Amorim seems to have found a way to get them winning points, but their old challenges prevail, with unadventurous wing backs, a pedesitrian and hti and miss central midfield, and no consistent chance-creation plan.

Nuno has a reasonable record against Man Utd (I think I read somewhere) and despite the Bookies having made them huge favourites for this, this feels more likely to yield points than Liverpool.  

For us, Paqueta is out. Summerville is out.  Rest of the squad is available.  Will Nuno give Luis G another go in the Sumemrville berth with Paqeta out and few attacking options available, or will he match up Man Utd with a back 3, and keep the improving Magassa in the side?  Can Wilson manage another game in such quick succession?

Predicted Line Up:

Areola

Wan Bissaka  Mavropanos   Todibo   Diouf

Magassa Potts

Bowen     Fernandes    Guilherme

Wilson

Subs: Hermansen, Kilman, Igor, KWP, Irving, Rodriguez, Soucek, Fullkrug, Earthy.

Predicted Scoreline:   I reckon we get something from this, although maybe a win proves beyond us?

1-1 (Bowen, Mbuemo).


COYI!

Starting Soucek indeed is the wrong call. We need to dominate midfield with Magassa, Potts and Fernandes. 

Had little to no hope but thus virtually guarantees a defeat.  Soucek is not equipped physically to play in the PL just like Irvine and Guido. These managers never learn from the past or present.  

Depressing times

Reminds me of Redknapp thinking Impey was good just because he had experience and ignoring the fact he was utter gash

Just watched the Martin Allen Iron cast on YouTube a very good watch.

Füllkrug missing, good. 

He's been missing since he got here. Kraut fraud.

[Alfs]

1 youth product in the team, 4 on the bench.  Nice one, Nuno.

[stubbo-admin]

Man Utd's backline is Ayden Heaven, Luke Shaw, and Mazroaui. 

Could be some joy in the air for Soucek tonight. 

Fernandes will be wide left...lots of build up with Amad and Mbuemo down the Man Utd right, so suspect he's tasked with helping out Diouf.

[Maverick180180]

Starting Soucek shows everything that is wrong with this manager 

[Takashi Miike]

apologies to COYI, he got it spot on

[Elpojohn]

1-2 to The Happy Hammers, Callum Wison brace.
Cheers

Cheers Stubbo. Would have like to have seen a left attacker there rather than Soucek. Leaves me a bit disappointed as it seems to suggest another Liverpool esque setup and performance in prospect. 

Can't really work out what the formation is going to be. I hope Fernandes not pushed out to the left where he'd be wasted. Magassa surely not playing CB to make it wing backs with Bowen and Wilson up top?

Very positive about the bench though. I do like that he's doing this. I think we will need some of those players.

[Far Cough UKunt]

Hope Kante gets a look in?

[fraser]

Füllkrug missing, good.

Tonight could be Match of the Shot.
can the mighty free scoring Hammers manage a shot on target for the first time in 2 games.
Probably not.

[Pub Bigot]

Is tonight’s game on a Thursday so fat yanks can watch, or because of fixture congestion? 
 

[BRANDED]

I hope we have a shot on goal.

COYI

[Mad Dog]

And a centre forward, some more legs in midfield would be nice, a winger that doesn't break down every 12 seconds and has an end product... and a whole load more

[Gary Strodders shank]

3.2 united 

We will score but concede more 

We need another centre half and leader.

 




 

[zico]

Not ideal but I'd stick KWP at left back and push Diouf further up.  Not convinced by Dioufs defending but he does have some pace and if we are going to get anything then Wilson needs crosses and Diouf isn't going to do that if pinned back all game.

[Massive Attack]

There's some miserable cunts on here. I wouldn't want you lot in the trenches with me.

Win - Didn't deserve it, bad opposition, Nuno got lucky

Draw - Should have won, Nuno parked the bus

Lose - Nuno out, we should be winning these kind of matches.

Pretty fucked either way poor old Lopetegui/Moyes/Potter/Nuno



 

Even though that didn't happen for the Newcastle win, Everton draw, or loss against Arsenal where he got rightly praised for much of it.

If Nuno doesn't want justified criticism for much of the rest, then it's up to him to sort his shit out and to get us performing better. It's not the fans fault for calling it out when it has been totally unacceptable like the shocking team sheets/tactics/subs he did ir didn't choose from.

Just heard Remi Moses has died.

RIP

I've just heard he's still alive and kicking

[Tomsdad]

I'm beginning to care less and less and I really would like Nuno to come good, but can't see anything from  this.
3-0 sorry

[greenie1]

Would love us to win, but in reality I reckon we will lose 2-0.

[BoleynGone]

Is he trying to push Soucek in the team, Soucek is the least likely replacement for liar Paqueta.
Not sure about the validity of this post.
The mentioned youth have been with the first team squad since Nuno took over.
want to see Earthy start and Marshall as first choice for Wilson.
Would love to minutes for all the other too.
Bring on the kids.
