Well after the disappointment of the Liverpool surrender-fest, next up it's the challenge of Man Utd away.

Amorim seems to have found a way to get them winning points, but their old challenges prevail, with unadventurous wing backs, a pedesitrian and hti and miss central midfield, and no consistent chance-creation plan.

Nuno has a reasonable record against Man Utd (I think I read somewhere) and despite the Bookies having made them huge favourites for this, this feels more likely to yield points than Liverpool.  

For us, Paqueta is out. Summerville is out.  Rest of the squad is available.  Will Nuno give Luis G another go in the Sumemrville berth with Paqeta out and few attacking options available, or will he match up Man Utd with a back 3, and keep the improving Magassa in the side?  Can Wilson manage another game in such quick succession?

Predicted Line Up:Subs: Hermansen, Kilman, Igor, KWP, Irving, Rodriguez, Soucek, Fullkrug, Earthy.

Predicted Scoreline:   I reckon we get something from this, although maybe a win proves beyond us?

1-1 (Bowen, Mbuemo).

Had little to no hope but thus virtually guarantees a defeat.  Soucek is not equipped physically to play in the PL just like Irvine and Guido. These managers never learn from the past or present.  

Depressing times

Reminds me of Redknapp thinking Impey was good just because he had experience and ignoring the fact he was utter gash

Steidten, Sullivan and Lopetegui spent £150m or so on Kilman, Todibo, Guilherme, Summerville and Fulkrug 18 months ago - just one of them deemed good enough or fit enough to start tonight.... 

We can get a result, they really aint all that. 

A shame that Bilic was so inept, as he is very charismatic character.

Roy Keane looks terrified of Bilic. Acting like a little mouse.

With that team i'd go 4132 but that's probably why I'm not managing anymore! Just hope he doesn't stick Fernandes on the left.

The Martin Allen irons cast is a good watch. Trying to work out if he is an intellectual nutter! 

Well up early for this one, with yesterday's results we need the 3 points to stay in touch with the clubs above us and away from the dross below.

Just hope the right West Ham team turn up, both clubs seem very inconsistent, so fingers crossed ManU have one of their shockers.

He aint one and cant hold it up or anything but can perhaps cause a nuisance of himself.

Hope you are right ScottD and Magassa, Potts and Fernandes are the midfield

Just watched the Martin Allen Iron cast on YouTube a very good watch.

1 youth product in the team, 4 on the bench.  Nice one, Nuno.

Man Utd's backline is Ayden Heaven, Luke Shaw, and Mazroaui. 

Could be some joy in the air for Soucek tonight. 

Fernandes will be wide left...lots of build up with Amad and Mbuemo down the Man Utd right, so suspect he's tasked with helping out Diouf.

Starting Soucek shows everything that is wrong with this manager

1-2 to The Happy Hammers, Callum Wison brace.

Cheers Stubbo. Would have like to have seen a left attacker there rather than Soucek. Leaves me a bit disappointed as it seems to suggest another Liverpool esque setup and performance in prospect. 

Can't really work out what the formation is going to be. I hope Fernandes not pushed out to the left where he'd be wasted. Magassa surely not playing CB to make it wing backs with Bowen and Wilson up top?

Very positive about the bench though. I do like that he's doing this. I think we will need some of those players.

Hope Kante gets a look in?

Füllkrug missing, good.
