[El Scorchio]

Oh and I imagine Wilson to score from off the bench will be like buying money.

[Any Old Iron]

Not expecting anything out of this apart from a defeat. But if losing hastens the departure of the Dago dullard who we have been saddled with then I can just about live with it. 

[Keep dreaming]

Let's hope Paqueta and Antonio will show up tonight...

[El Scorchio]

We are getting massively turned over here I fear. 5-0.

As an aside, their bumlicking of Isak to try and get him to sign a new contract is pretty cringe. Funny if he just leaves anyway.

 

[stubbo-admin]

Forgot they had Pope. Always plays a worldie against us. 

 

[Keep dreaming]

Is Rodriguez benched because of his notions last week?

[Sir Alf]

How long before we concede?

5, 10, 15 mins or perhaps a "skin of the teeth" 45 mins holding them and then the collapse as they put on reinforcements 2nd half

Barnes always scores against us, Isak is quick and strong so as long as we can keep it really tight in midfield.... oh wait...

Just cannot see a way out of this if Soucek is the holding midfielder.  Paqueta needs to transform into Rodri !!!   Oh yeah, he has but its the injured version of Rodri

Hope we've all got strong constitutions because what is about to be served up could be upsetting

[Keep dreaming]

Difference is the manager.

I'd have backed us to give them a good game under Moyes but not under this fraud.

 

 

"I will always back the manager of West Ham..."

Oh, that tune changed rapidly....

Has Isak passed away or something...

Worth noting this team has 5 of our summer signings starting, with a further 2 on the bench.   Very little of what Moyes built left here.

Be interesting to see how Soucek does in the DM role tonight...he's got the positional sense and intelligence to play the role but lacks the pace to get out and cover for overlapping fullbacks (so hoping we've re thought that and going to keep the full backs deeper to allow the more progressive mids we have to push forwards and support the attack.

Wan Bissaka staying in the back line, with Emerson inverting would be a decent start.

[BRANDED]

His nuts would have frozen off by then.

[Bamber]

I'd like to see Guillerme given at least half an hour to see if he's a player. Hopefully we're still in the game if he does get a chance.

[stubbo-admin]

So who's going to get hooked at half time? My money's on Soler and Antonio

Almost certainly. And maybe Wan Bissaka or Emerson to complete the set.

[kylay]

We don't really have a defensive mid playing tonight and I don't really see how we out-gun them. That looks like what we are set up to do though. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose.

[riosleftsock]

Let us know how the toilet job goes.  I can hardly wait now....

[yngwies Cat]

I'm fixing a broken toilet tonight 
Can't be arsed watching another shit show 

 

[stubbo-admin]

Well the Toon fans generally seem happy with the line up and crowing about strength in depth on the bench.

Let's just hope we show up!

[stubbo-admin]

[Mad Ferret]

Really great looking line-up.

Bring it on!

[stubbo-admin]

Well it's the closest we have to a mobile, ball controlling midfield (except for maybe Alvarez for Soucek...but Soucek is more disciplined to play alongside the other two). 

Fair play to Lopetegui for having the balls to go on the offensive here.

[stubbo-admin]

Confirmed 

[stubbo-admin]

Ex's unconfirmed lineup has a midfield of Soucek, Soler and Paqueta. 

[Cabbige Savage]

we will play like parapleejiks agayn
