West Ham Carling Cup pre match thread

Recommended Posts

I hope we play a team to win the match and there'll be no excuse if we don't. Football is fundamentally about winning things not accommodating players. And it's about time we tried to win something other than via the Academy.

Kram always seems to drop deep when he plays so lets see what he is like there....Dodoo sometimes plays striker for academy and Okazaki needs to be tested as an out and out vardy replacement.

No reason we can't win the league cup this year, mix of first team players and players who need game time.

I expect West Ham to do the same, have the big guns on the bench and of requires attack with a fresh Vardy, Kante and Mahrez last 20.

At least 4 more prem teams will be out after this round including either Arsenal or Spurs, with many more facing potential banana skins away at good championship clubs.

I think Southampton, Everton, Swansea, Newcastle and Villa will all fall to lower league opposition.

Hopefully we don't play Simpson, he is a scumbag and I don't understand why he's even getting half a look in. Ship the twat out.

I totally agree , just seeing him on the bench annoys me the woman beating nonse.

I thought the club said he wouldn't be involved with the first team again?

Want the win but can understand some changes being made. Suspect West Ham will do the same. Few people who could well do with having a good game for us.

Some changes but generally strong, want to see Fuchs but alongside our first choice defence. Also see Okazaki when he's not playing the deeper role in a front two.

Don't see why Kram/Ulloa can't form a decent partnership (at least in the cup competitions) as Kram likes to drop deep and get involved in the build up more and Ulloa is more your out-and-out striker, can hold the ball up and finish but not really made for anything more.

 

On another note, does anyone reckon there will be a dodgy channel showing this?

I'll be there, thought the club missed a trick with the ticket prices but hopefully Ranieri takes it serious whilst rotating the necessary players so that we're at the races against Arsenal.

Think Inler needs to start, game time will get him ready for the premier league and this is a good opportunity for him to show he is the classy player we all know he can be

Strangely excited by this. I will be furious if I walk away from the stadium having watched a lethargic performance from an entirely changed line-up. We've been driven and energetic in the league, I expect at least half as much in this game.

This.

Pretty much that. Okazaki for Ulloa on the hour ideally.

With the intention of bringing on Mahrez, Vardy and Kante if required.

You play to win each game. If not, why bother? Start the strongest side you can manage and lets win the damn thing. 

we've got a league game same week, don't get the main squad injured for that is the thinking

True, and Arsenal will be a test even in their weakened state. I suppose I meant that if you can't let a Mahrez or Vardy play, that's fine - but lets not treat it as a second rate fixture, either.
