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.

[claret on my shirt]

Shutting up shop versus Southampton, says it all. We are a fucking joke

[Mad Ferret]

Mavro coming on to cost us a goal.

[Keep dreaming]

When it comes to shielding the ball, Paqueta is world class

[stubbo-admin]

The other observation...Guilherme looks perfectly competent as a 19 year old making his first season debut in the Premier League. 

 

[nychammer]

He may be old and injury prone, but Füllkrug is a quality player.

 

Absolutely. We should pass to him more often, he is smart with the ball

WTF why take him off?

Probably been told 75mins is his limit by the medical team.

 

 

yes per the commentators, but why Soucek on when Soler was doing ok in the middle, this will just slow us down even more. 

[stubbo-admin]

...and how shit must Ferguson be if he can't be given the last 15 mins to replace Fülle?

[Dick Shaftsbury]

Fullkrug will be quality next season if fit. 

Kudas really is less than half the player he was last year. Fuck knows what’s happened there. I hope he can get back to form. 

[Mad Ferret]

Dunno how we’re winning this.

Can’t see us holding on.

Agree, I was never really pushed on him arriving. But he’s tidy and has a good footballing brain.

Fulkrug for Soucek?   Is Ferguson injured?

[stubbo-admin]

[stubbo-admin]

Hopefully Guilherme gets some of the same chances Kudus has had with balls to run on to. Be interesting to see him open up the afterburners.

[Iron Duke]

Get Kudus off

[nychammer]

different class Paqueta deserved better, we dont see enough of it though. Same Kudus, just not at his best. 

[Mad Ferret]

Kudus is such a cսnt, hope we sell the prick.

[claypole]

If we can get what we paid for Kudus I would take it

[Keep dreaming]

What is wrong with Kudus? 

[pdcwhu]

If he misses,rollycob calls him a cսnt

[pdcwhu]

Yessssssssss Hazzzzzzzzz 

[Keep dreaming]

Where would we be without our skipper top player 

Rock bottom 

[collyrob]

Where would we be without our skipper top player 

[Elpojohn]

I wonder why we leave it to the second half to start playing.

[Any Old Iron]

As far as  I can recall we’ve not had a really good home performance all season. This is just more of the same - only worse.  
Thank fuck for Bowen!
