West Ham Online

Apologies for being late to the party with this one.

Bowen and Todibo late fitness tests. Kudus and Alvarez out.

Fabianski

​​​​​​Wan Bissaka
Todibo (Mavropanos)
Kilman
Emerson

Soucek v.capt.
Rodriguez
Soler

Bowen capt. (Antonio)
Antonio (Ings)
Summerville

Subs:
Areola, Coufal, Cresswell, Mavro (Casey), Paqueta, Irving, Orford, Ings (???), Guilherme, 


Suspect we win this one as Everton are devoid of pace or ball possession skills, so their threat on the break is reduced. Could also see a dull 0-0 where neither team want to lose.

1-0 Antonio

Injury time goal to grab a Desmond...followed by an open-topped bus celebration through the streets of Newham and then all back to Rush Green for tea & cakes.

That midfield is the worst in the PL, Steidten needs sacking.

I suspect it will be 1-0 or 1-1.

Thanks for letting us know who the vice captain is. Very important that.

Think we will struggle to score without Kudus. If Everton keep it 0-0 into the second half we will get nervy. They are shite though so if we don’t win this we are fucked. Going to a be crap game either way, unless both sides are so bad it becomes an accidental slug fest from defensive errors.
 

Here we are again! becoming a bit of a pattern shit performance, shit defeat looking like we have not progressed then somehow, we manage to scrape a win, ala ManU and the pressure eases.

Can we do it again? On paper this is maybe the easiest to do so, or maybe not the bounce back against Ipswich was maybe easier.

I was firmly of the opinion of giving Lope until Christmas until the Forest Embarrassment so lose this and i think its P45 time as its clear we are not progressing in any way and it's going to be more of the same and with such a talented squad its not acceptable.

Hope we win, but all it does is kick the sacking down the road a bit as i don't think he's going to turn it around in a consistent way.

Happy to be proved wrong BTW!

1-0 West Ham though............

The club and the ream is a mess and Lop has lost the dressing room.  1 - 3.

1-2

0-2.

1-1

3-1 to us...Everton are so bad that even if we don't play well should still be comfortable in his one if only with some individual brilliance 

a turgid 1-1 

4-1 to Everton I’m afraid 

0-0 draw 

I'd try coufal right mid in front of AWB. Midfield is totally lacking in energy/passion and at least he'd give it everything and is our best crosser of a ball

0-2 both managers sacked.

Calvert Levin gaming new confidence with 2 shit goals unless we try something else..

.....................Areola
Bissaka Todibo Kilman Creaswell
Guilherme Rodriguez Irving Summerville 
...................Ings Bowen

I'm dreading it!!!!

Bowen is out, by all accounts.

0-2

BORE DRAW. 0-0.

Must win so we will win.
Have to say after last weeks bizarre team selection I am at a loss and see no point to predict the team.
I would like to see this.

Fabianski
Wan Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson
Soucek, Paqueta, Rodriguez
Bowen, Antonio, Summerville

Squad getting a bit depleted by red cards!

Thanks Stubbo

Rumours about a Bowen late fitness test.

If so,we have the chance to go for the tinyiest front three you ever did see.

Summerville, Ings, Guilherme 

Everton to score.

                                             Fab
AWB                Todibo                        Kilman            Emerson
                                             DM
                            Soucek               BPM     
Bowen                                                                      Summerville
                                           Antonio

That's the way I would play it but have no clue who to put in midfield as we are so bad in there at the moment Soucek suddenly becomes a shoe in.  Need a DM who can sit and clean up allowing the full backs to get forward and a ball playing midfielder to compliment Soucek.  At his best I'd put Paqueta in there but he is so out of sorts maybe Soler?  Is Irving a DM?>  No confidence in Rodriguez if I am honest.  Almost tempted to put Mav at the back and stick Todibo or Kilman in midfield as we have been so bad in there.

I think Julen will be more adventurous tomorrow, the back five will go and we'll look a bit more coherent. That, can only happen though if he plays players in their correct positions. Jimmy has to start, Soucek should also return and hopefully a striker so Jarrod can do what he does best off the right. 2-1 win
