West Ham Vs Bournemouth | 5.4.24 | Predictions and Match Thread

[stubbo]

So... Bournemouth at home. Potter beginning to underwhelm.

The sort of game suddenky West Ham pull out a performance...but I don't see it. Iraola one of the leagues current shiny coveted things....Potter looking tarnished by his time at the bowl already.

Prediction...0-2 to Bournemouth.

Obviously Fullkrug not 100%

But start him and try get ahead or bring him on when opposition more tired second half?  With this West Ham team start him to get ahead. We dont do comebacks

 

 

Start him
were a better team with him in it 
we know he can play 45, he should be doing that from the start, would then get a 15 minute rest and can come out for the second half and be subbed when/if he starts getting tired 
the way Potter is doing it means we don’t get him on the pitch for the maximum time he could possibly play 
I’ve also got a horrible feeling he’s not gonna get 45 mins today as Potter did the same with Ferguson 

[Tomshardware]

Strangely optimistic about today. 

[fraser]

I'm not convinced Alvarez isn't in a back three till I see us on the pitch...

More square pegs in round holes just play with a fucking striker 

Doing that would encourage forward passes. Not Plodder's style.

[Mex Martillo]

How do you think that will work? Looks like a good old 4-4-2?

[Maverick180180]

Massively disappointed Fullkrug isn’t starting 
thought he was our best player in the second half 
looked like he came through those 45 mins absolutely fine
would’ve expected his time to be increased today but on the bench he starts 
if he doesn’t even come on at half time then I’m gonna be at a loss to understand what Potter is even trying to do

[BoleynGone]

andy, yiu oay for this don't you ?

[Maverick180180]

Glad he’s finally knocking the 5 at the back on the head but how on earth is Ward-Prowse keeping his place in the side?
he’s like the teachers pet

Agree, but to be fair to JWP he is the best passer in the team. I think this highlights our midfield problem together with having to start with Soucek. Not good enough, but no better options really..

Not convinced he is a great passer, he has good stats but doesn’t seem to fancy playing the ball to anyone who’s further than 10 yards away unless it’s a dead ball situation 

[Sir Alf]

A real test for Scarles today but builds experience.  He is another that is not that fast and Bournemouth wide men are rapid.   Hope the 4 man defence does not expose him although like our greatest ever player, Scarles does seem to be able to time his tackles and interceptions exceptionally well.

Win, lose or draw, I think I will just be happy with not conceding more than 1 but looking reasonably solid and more importantly us being able to play from he back thru midfield and not having forwards isolated and not able to get into the game.    

Suspect we will have to wait until Fullkrug appears before we can cause problems for them but hope we are not trailing because we never look capable of getting anything if we concede first.

A back 4 which has not worked out well so far.  3 with the ball, 4 out of possession in midfield.

Assume Fullkrug not up to 90 mins yet so only 2 up top again. 

I would not play Soucek and JWP in central midfield. Both lack pace and in the case of JWP lacks physicality buy is Potter's love child .   But whoever is picked in central midfield it always seems a problem though.

Not the worst side but like I say, yet to see us look secure when playing 4 at the back. Kilman always looks shaky without 2 alongside. 

Oh well

he’s on almost every thread accusing people of being spurs fans just cos they have a different opinion to him 
this is supposed to be a West Ham forum 



 

 

 

 

 

feet has been polluting these boards for over two decades and has never once has put up an interesting, funny, or informative post. Fuck knows why he is on here, apart from to annoy people.

by the way, any streams
I was using Yalla shoot website but it doesn't seem to be loading

[BoleynGone]

I don't want to see Emerson or Ward Prowse. The former can't be bothered and doesn't create anything the latter can't take a set piece anymore. I'd rather see Soucek than JWP, at least a goal is certain. Scarles needs to play not Emerson ,he won't learn anything watching Emerson defend. Scarles needs to take a free kick on the edge of the box and show JWP how it's done.

Areola:Wan,Todibo,Kilman,Scarles. Alvaraz,Soucek. Bowen,Paqueta,Kudus.Fulkrug.
It won't be , Potter will go with the 3 duds in midfield with Emerson at lb, Paqueta behind Kudus and Bowen. Like it's worked ever...

Ah the obligatory fishing emoji post 
given to someone making an assessment on what’s been happening lately 
You must be a spurs fan for doing that 
unlike this idiot, who’s West Ham through and through and can prove it by making ridiculous claims like yesterday when he predicted we will score 4 goals today based on nothing but biased and delusion
 

[twoleftfeet]

300 passes sideways, 200 backwards, 5 shots on goal, 2 on target, 0 goals.

Away win. Semenyo gets one, Bournemouth 2.
