"Antonio up front for the Freiburg game? I can't see that, they'll sit deep and doubt we'll be hitting them on the break."

[happygilmore]

"I think he will want Antonio up front for the freiburg game, so might just give him a half an hour today. Burnley are too shit surely, to beat us....you would think"

[Coffee]

"Thanks, Charley. ""Oh and Burnley yet to win this year."" Words of impending doom."

[fraser]

I would also like to see Phillips and Antonio start. Don't care if Phillips replaces Soucek or JWP. I fear Moyes will go as full strength as possible.. Oh and Burnley yet to win this year.

[Manuel]

"I would start Antonio and give Bowen a break. Phillips will start, hopefully for the pointless JWP. Dreading seeing old man Cresswell out there with his perfect barnet. Leave Zouma at home. We're shit, but they are diabolical. 2-0"

[the exile]

"I agree that Phillips should start. A couple of weeks ago I would have been quick to say that Soucek should make way but now I would drop JWP, who seems to have gone right off the boil after a really good first half of the season. If Cresswell is in at LB I would play Aguerd as left-sided CB - his pace will be needed to make up for Cresswell. Areola Coufal Mavro Aguerd Cresswell Phillips Soucek Alvarez Bowen Kudus Paqueta"

We can't risk alvarez getting booked on sunday as we will need him against villa.

[Sir Alf]

"Phillips has to be a starter ahead of Soucek or JWP. Both peripheral and Soucek is like tye team in some ways. Has a couple of half decent games and then back to anonymous or stinking the place out . Likewise JWP. At this time, I revkon its JWP that makes way. The other thing that will backfire is bringing Cresswell back in. We are an old and slow team and Cresswell makes it even worse. I would play Aguerd at LB but thats too radical I know. I suspect we wont find this easy as some might think. They will dominate possession but like Freiberg lack a cutting edge but our defence with Zouma and Cresswell looks very dodgy. I would like him to to with the following. Not ideal and largely the same players but he only uses 13 or 14 so limited on changing things :-( ———- Areola Coufal —-Stavros— Ogbonna — Aguerd ————- Alvarez ———Phillips Kudus——— Soucek — Paqueta —————- Bowen ————-"

[Meerkat]

No way should Cresswell start - but he probably will .

[zebthecat]

Theoretically we should absolutely stuff them as they are a terrible team but...

"Worried about this game, Sutton has tipped us winning 2-0."

[Mike Oxsaw]

It would be typical of West Ham to find a way to fuck this game up. For any chance of European football again next season we need to be matching Man U point for point from now until the last game of the season and grabbing with both hands any opportunity to leap-frog them in the league. Can we do it? Who the fuck do you think I am. Bob the Builder???

(although I don't expect Moyes to be that cavalier)

[scott_d]

"We will need to be careful. All of their players, to my knowledge, are professional footballers who have 2 feet and 2 arms. Therefore, Moyes will pay them the respect they deserve as any kind of approach to their goal could be catastrophic. Hopefully we can hold them off and scrape a 0-0 draw and with a stroke of luck, perhaps even grab a winner."

[charleyfarley]

well none of the players should need any rest
