If we can score early their fans will get on their backs and I can see us scoring a few We rarely score early doors. but yes, it would be great to break the mould today.
lgfualol Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Dont have a good feeling about this one. Would take a draw.

Ashley Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 I really hope we dont make many changes for this. Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Caglar Fuchs Ndidi Preat Maddison Perez Vardy Albrighton However I can see it being something like Schmeichel JJ Morgan Caglar Fuchs Hamza Preat Maddison Perez Kelechi Barnes The latter I'd start against Wigan.
Grey Fox Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 West Ham team news (from the BBC) West Ham have Ryan Fredericks available again after a ban, but fellow full-back Aaron Cresswell now serves a one-match suspension of his own. Roberto is expected to continue in goal in the absence of David Martin and Lukasz Fabianski.
Blanchflower78 Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 I'd imagine Chilwell may be rested, mentally and physically. May be Tielemens out for Choudhury. Other than that I'd expect to see little else.

It may also be that for the first time, the scales have fallen from some supporters eyes in that our previously seemingly flawless manager has been shown to be fallible. I think with some reasoned afterthought, most fans can accept that two very expensively put together teams of experienced international quality players, moulded over 3years, would be reasonably expected to beat a team of mostly young and competitively inexperienced players in comparison with about 12 months together. What was more bemusing was the much previously lauded managers performance personally in terms of team selection, tactics and approach to those matches. This also in comparison to other teams with supposedly less talent at their disposal than us making a far better fist of it against the same opponents. Credit when credit is due by all accounts, but today is when Rodgers will have to start to show the substance behind the media pleasing blarney he trots out with regularity (not meant to sound as a criticism). Undoubtedly he's a great man manager and motivator but managers, like players, can have off days and piss poor performances. Learning the reason why from such situations and adapting when things haven't quite gone to plan are commendable traits in any management, stubbornness and the inability to recognise and personally accept responsibility isn't. Rodgers has a difficult task to guide his team through a very busy period of fixtures now but, so has every other manager, some teams like Wolves, Liverpool, Man City etc for example have had even more things to juggle. Keep the faith, early days.
Raj Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Really good realistic test for us to see if this "dip" in form is real or if it was just against the 2 best sides of the last couple of seasons. Lose this and foxestalk will be in meltdown!!! Win it and we will be back in the title race!!!!(For some people!!!)
somebum Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Biggest game of our season so far. Lose this and the rot will spread a la Pete Taylor early 2000's.
car1os Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Need a performance today and need to show more aggression on the pitch as it’s been missing in the last couple of games. Don’t mind losing to the best 2 teams of the last 3 seasons but we looked a bit scared against Man City and Liverpool, so need to put this right. This’ll be a real test too. 1-2 to us I reckon

willie-bell-in-rothley Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 I think the lads will be back to their best today, weve had the set backs still second and everyone else has had theirs, WHU are poor and i think we can pick them off and get back on track,
ronnup Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 It'll definitely be changes. My worry is the formation. I think we need to persevere with one style especially when things are clearly wobbling. If he makes the 3 or 4 changes I expect (Perez, Gray, Choudhury and Fuchs\Wes) I fear we might end up with some brand new formation too.
Blanchflower78 Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Belief will be a big thing today, need to rediscover it after last few games. Think back to Villa away, rampant! Just hope the last 2 games haven't damaged us more than wed like.
foxfanazer Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 This place is the pits again recently. Some of you really don't deserve our success
Guest Manini Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Really pleased Cresswell is suspended. Always seems to play well against us.

Imagine how shit Tielemans is gonna be Virtually every other team in the Prem is playing their second game in two days. If we’re going to play in the Champions League next season we have to step up to that kind of challenge.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 I'm not sure we can afford to make wholesale changes. We need a victory to reinvigorate us. Maybe 2-3 changes at the most.
StriderHiryu Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Going to this game today although I have a massive fever so not sure I’ll enjoy it! Hopefully we see some Vardy goal scoring fever to make me feel better! The first 20 minutes will probably dictate the type of game we see. We’ve looked tired and lethargic recently and with such little time to rest I think this is likely to be a game low on quality. Hopefully we can grind out the win as the Hammers are in poor form themselves.
lgfualol Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 Reckon M4dd3rZz needs a rest as much as Tielemans. He has been well off the pace lately.
Pliskin Posted 28 December 2019 Posted 28 December 2019 0-3 win. Lads will be wanting to bounce back from the last few weeks and I think we will see another stellar performance. Vardy hat trick. Boom.
