West Ham Online

"Team, for me: Areola Wan-Bissaka Todibo Kilman Emerson Paqueta Rodriquez Kudus Summerville Antonio Bowen Score prediction: 0-2 Villa."

"some of you lot need to calm down, he's gone with players that know each other, i like he hasn't thrown all the new signings in straight away"

"I maybe expected one or two more changes today but he's obviously going with some continuity to begin with, we'll gradually see the new boys integrate, expect to see some subs, that's how new signings are introduced innit as subs?"

maverick180 7:45 Sat Aug 17 Re: West Ham vs. Aston Villa - Team and score predictions What a disgraceful line up Rodriguez who’s supposed to be the less fit of all the new signings makes the team Was looking forward to today Now absolutely livid sorry you been in training sessions?

Well I thought it would be a sub par lineup but wasn't expecting this atrocity. I'm somewhat less interested in watching this game now as we surely lose with that lot. What's the point of doing business early if we just play all the old retreads he's identified as not being good enough? Fucking dense that is. What a load of bollocks.

"Blimey, it's been a long time since May and i had forgotten how dramatic people can be on here. Look on the bright side - plenty to come off the bench, which is a luxury we certainly aren't used to. daveyg and Manuel - exactly which youths were you expecting to see today?"

Here’s hoping that the lineup for the last 30 minutes differs significantly from the starting lineup… just have to hope we haven’t given them too much of a head start!

Where's the Brazilian? 20 mil?

Violator - that’s what happens when you change nothing from last season We’ve had the best transfer window we’ve ever had But to look at the starting line up you’d say it’s been the worst

Optimism has fucked off sharpish

"Mavrapanos gives me nightmares, as does Soucek receiving a pass inside his own half."

"It's disappointing, but he loves a sub.. Let's see"

"Interesting line up… kind of wants some continuity from last season when we wanted wholesale changes haha! Only real change are for injured or terminally fucked players (Alvarez and zouma) On a positive note, if they play shit we have replacements for every position on the bench. Something we never had. Psychologically it’s a good line up in that regard."

"They had pre season to show him what they were about, and they delivered their usual standard of dross Bilic went all out against Arsenal in his first game, Payet was quality and we deservedly won No guys no glory This bloke has already pissed me off and we ain’t kicked a ball You could say that’s ridiculous and I should give him a chance, but I already know that the likes of Mavropanos, Coufal, Soucek and Antonio are going to let us down as they always do Great job done by Steidten, shame our new manager has decided to piss all over it and throw our first game"

"Looks old and slow in some areas, as per usual, but I suspect he is saying to the usual's to show what they have before he makes changes."

Shit line up and not a yoof player in sight. Fuck off.

Was Moyes allowed to pick the team for one last time?

"Our squad isn’t good enough to have better players sitting on the bench They ain’t gonna get up to speed doing fuck all What was the point in pre season???? Coufal and Mavropanos where absolute gash, but today they’re going to be brilliant according to Lopetegui, might as well of stuck with Moyes is he’s this thick and negative"

"No Aguerd. Must be off,pity he was looking fine and happy. bit worried of the age and no youth. Have we really changed manager ?"

"Disappointed not to see a couple more of the new signings in the team, but I expect they'll come on later."

2-0 Villa

What a disgraceful line up Rodriguez who’s supposed to be the less fit of all the new signings makes the team Was looking forward to today Now absolutely livid
