West Ham Online

How are we all feeling about this one?

Man Utd played in Europe midweek...we've had another week of JL educating/bamboozling the squad with his philosophy.

Kudus is banned....chance for Summerville, and there's a backdrop of Terzic rumours, growing concern, and 'leaks' from the usual sources about how long the tenure might go on.

With all that said, I reckon we beat Man Utd 3-1, who are also a basket case with a manager seemingly in similar lack of alignment to the club and squad.

Team:

Areola (last chance saloon,)

Wan Bissaka
Todibo
Kilman
Emerson

Rodriguez

Bowen (c)
Alvarez
Soler
Summerville

Antonio

Subs:
Fabianski, Coufal, Cresswell, Mavropanos, Soucek, Paqueta, Irving, Guilherme, Ings.

Predicted Result:

West Ham 3 : 1 Man Utd

Goals: Bowen, Antonio, Soucek


 

I would agree with the team but, not necessarily with the result. Big game for Jimmy a chance to show what he can do.

1-1 

Defeat incoming would be thre most likely based on what we’ve seen ( or not seen ) so far this season.  High line, trying to play with a slow central spine in midfield doesnt work and exposes us to teams that are quicker in the middle of the park, can press well and counter ( transition ) quickly. Which is a lot of the Premiership

If we lose then we are deep in a rut and the shit will properly hit the fan, but win and then with Forest and Everton next up we could also see a revival. I think both of these are as likely as the other one, so will wait to see. The Mancs coming back from Turkey should help us you'd think.

Not fussed what the team is, it's all about attitude and being organised. Not bothered about Kudus missing out though, and Paqueta can fuck off.
