West Ham vs Southampton | PL | 19.4.25 | Predictions & Match Thread

[stubbo]

So it's the worst team in the league against the 4th worst team in the league...should be a cracker!

It would be very West Ham to scrape a 1-1 draw, or even worse, fall to a scrappy 1-0 defeat, but I'm hopeful we'll be better than that.

Prediction: 2-0

Expect Potter to go for a ball playing lineup, all be it not what we would like.

Areola

Wan Bissaka Todibo Kilman Scarles

Soler JWP Paqueta

Bowen Kudus Guilherme

Would obviously like to see Füllkrug start, but sounds like he won't be risked. Can't much see the point in giving Ferguson any game time since we know he's not staying...so hoping rather than Soucek coming in, he gives Guilherme the nod.

COYI.

Say what you like about the midfield, but Moyes had this forward line (swapping out Fullkrug for Antonio) looking like they'd get two or three goals per game with only 30% of the ball.

So our forward players are not the reason we can't score.

How many of these players will be here in August?

who’s gonna buy any of this shit?

[collyrob]

We are so shit to watch. We need a complete overhaul on our midfielders. I wouldn’t keep any of them

[stubbo-admin]

God this is dull. Painful to 'keep tabs on'...wouldn't go as far as calling what I'm doing watching as so easy to be distracted from this shit.

[dealcanvey]

Who is this Flyn Downes lad. He looks alright. 

[Keep dreaming]

Out of 10:
Desire -0
Mentality - 1
Skills- 3
Stamina - 2
Strength - 1
Ability - 3
Determination - 0

The players should be fucking ashamed by this
 

[Sir Alf]

As suspected, too slow and not physical enough all over the park.

Southampton should be at least 2-0 up. We are slow and weak especially in midfield as usual

[nychammer]

we need to sack the practical joker putting Gorilla glue on the boots

[Any Old Iron]

It’s no wonder we’re 4th bottom playing such dull, pedestrian shit against a relegated side. In fact Saints are showing more desire and could be leading.
Trotter our HR manager is fucking hopeless

[Mad Ferret]

Dreadful so far.

[Keep dreaming]

Slowest and weakest midfield in the PL history 

WTF, have they just been down the pub or something?

[LJC]

Just watching sky sports news and they just said every game is a bad game today and thank god for the Scottish premiership. 

[stubbo]

Bowen doesn't look at the races. No space in behind, and our movement not good enough to open up a well organised defence.

[nychammer]

we're really inviting soton to score here. WAKE UP 

[Takashi Miike]

just sell the club sullivan, and take the shiny teethed northern fraud with you

[Mike Oxsaw]

Seen more excitement watching a game via Teletext.

[Keep dreaming]

Everything going in slow motion here. Looks like Paqueta, Fullkrug Kudus, Soler, Coufal, Emerson have their minds elsewhere. Awful start

[LJC]

15 minutes in at home against the worst Premier League team ever, 1 shot.

Fuck off Potter.

[stubbo]

The draw at 7/1 seems very generous. 

Having checked, you can't get anything like 7/1.

 

 

Just a typo. Should be 7/3 or 7/4 I believe.

[THUNDERCLINT]

15 minutes in at home against the worst Premier League team ever, 1 shot.

Fuck off Potter.

[Solidbond1]

No goal assists from Paqueta in 37 matches , I just heard . What a great no 10 . 

[nychammer]

unlucky Fulkrug, nice move and good save. 

[Iron Duke]

I reckon Fullkrug goes to the Turkish barbers

[Alfs]

The draw at 7/1 seems very generous. 

Having checked, you can't get anything like 7/1.
