Man Utd vs West Ham | PL | 11.5.25 | Predictions & Match Thread

A game not dissimilar to last week's encounter with Spurs, against a team that has had a terrible season by their standards.
There are many parallels to us, with them hiring a new manager that prefers to play a back 3, and it not going well at all...but with most of the fan base hanging onto the fact they're 'not his players'.
Sadly though one of either our opponents last week or this week will end up playing in the Champions League next season. Whilst we'll end up with a squad decimated by the loss of our saleable stars, punts on a load of unknown foreigners, journeymen, and lower league hopes, and Cock Piss Potter clinging to Premier League survival.
Anyway, this game...with Man Utd having played Thursday, we should have the edge in terms of energy, but at the same time they have a reason to stay sharp, and we have a squad more than likely already on the beach, along with on going rumours of squad friction and divide.
Prediction:
Away at Old Trafford, Potter's side are in an undesirable patter of draw-loss-draw-loss....and last time out was a draw.
So...predict a limp defeat here. 0-2.
Lineup.
At this point it feels somewhat immaterial who pulls on the shirt, but likely a lot will depend on if Paqueta is in the right frame of mind to play with more of his Kangaroo Court Case looming.
Areola
Todibo Mavropanos Cresswell
Wan Bissaka Soucek. Paqueta. Emerson
Bowen. Füllkrug. Kudus
Feels like only two positions are debatable...does the error strewn 40m Kilman keep his spot over equally error strewn Mavropanos, and is Paqueta good to go. Other than that the team looks like picking itself.

Good form, relatively speaking. He has done better than others, that’s my opinion. At least we have a focal point. Kudus on the other hand offers absolutely fuck all.
Nice assist mind you

I was prepared to give Potter time, but frankly his selections are beyond baffling and I’m fed up with him.
Fullkrug is in and out every other week despite in good form. Means our best player not playing in his best position even if he does do a good job up front. Kudus picked every week despite being shit all season. Then there is Guido, who fwiw I don’t think is as shit as people say, but Potter has shown no signs of wanting him in his side yet and he throws him in randomly today! What are you learning rather than giving Orford a go (if you’re not going to play Alvarez).

Ridiculous line up. Cresswell, Coufal Rodriguez won't even be here next season. Slow as fuck midfield with better players on the bench.
With a combined age of 98yo just with those 3 alone. The future of West Ham looks bright, epwcially as we have zero Academy boys on the bench straight off the back of winning a Trophy. Genius management...
Oh well, at least the Press Conference meltdown is going to be another entertaining watch.
And at least we can understand his perfect English, if not his brain dead methods.

You'd think considering how poor the results have been under him, with nothing to play for or lose and Man U with eyes only on the Europa final, Potter would simply play his best team and try and win the game.
He has no common sense along with being not a very good manager with us to date.

Well the Alvarez stuff is clearly true then.
Bust up with Alvarez and Fullkrug and that's just the one's we know of. Great man manager when under zero pressure to achieve anything..

I think he’s taking the piss.
That or he’s showing how bad he is and how bad some of our squad players are giving him more leverage in changing it.
