West Ham (H) pre match

Recommended Posts

I'm feeling positive. I think with all that's gone on that there'll be a renewed vigour.

 

but I might revise that 20 minutes into the game! ;)

Can’t see us getting anything, unfortunately. 
 

We’re in really poor form and look a little lightweight and fragile. Midfield is quite timid and ineffective when we aren’t playing well. 

 

(Obviously hope I’m way off the mark and that we come out all guns blazing and zip the ball about).

I think Nacho deserves another chance from the start and therefore I'd sacrifice Maddison out wide for the sake of a 4-4-2 as Vardy isn't quite at the droppable stage and could do with a goal. 

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Caglar

Evans

Chilwell (focused and with a point to prove)

 

Albrighton

Youri

Wilf (Hamza if not fit)

Madders

 

Nacho

Vardy

 

 


I disagree Mike - we don’t need proper wide men, it’s clear to me now. Let’s just go strong through the middle with round pegs in round holes.

 

 

 

.............................Kasper

..................Evans..............Soyunco 
.............................Mendy..........................

 

..............................Youri

Ricardo..............Madders...........Chilwell

..............................Perez

.............................Nacho 

..............................Vardy 

 

 

Its just frustrating I can’t get Barnes through the middle as well in that direct line up...

He links up better with Chilwell than the other wingers and we need Youri to find some form.

 

Whilst I agree it's not ideal, Maddison is still a threat even out of position.

Maddison has been shit in every single game he's played out wide. There genuinely hasn't been one good performance from him when played on the wing.

think we need to go 3 at the back and geta bit more protection for Chilly- Fuchs as third CB, tell hamza to sit in front of the defense...madders and tielemens in the middle with iheanacho and Barnes either side of vardy

 

 

EDIT: scratch that. might get in a bit of trouble. :whistle:

 

 

Barnes to the bench and iheanacho and vardy up front.

Mines still next to me in full glory in the lounge! (Ron is an 8 footer from Welford Xmas tree farm) It’s not dropped any needles and lives on so I’m not throwing it out until it actually dies!

You’re just not trying hard enough, that’s all. Drop Ricky and play Barnes as a 10. Simple.

I think someone else has hinted at this but as the win away at West ham was only a matter of weeks ago, why would you not pick the same team?

For anyone who can't remember or CBA to look for it, here it is.

 

Kasper

Justin

Morgan

Evans

Fuchs

 

Gray

Albrighton

Hamza

Mendy

 

Nacho

Perez

 

Also note that the two goalscorers started (Gray and Nacho), so we didn't rely on the subs.

I'm not saying it's the line up I'd pick but at the least- bearing in mind how we've performed for most of the matches since it's a good argument.

Let's have a good home performance please lads. I would be very worried if we do not come out of this game with 3 points. I know others are dropping points but we need to keep that gap between us and fifth.

As long as that!?

Schmeichel

 

Evans

Soyuncu

Fuchs

Ricardo

Barnes 

 

Praet

Tielemans

Maddison

 

Vardy

Iheancho

 

Give Barnes the licence of that whole left hand side to drive at Zabaleta with speed, Fuchs can shuffle across on the cover. 

 

Praet is more than capable of playing the holding role, giving Maddison & Tielemans the freedom to go and express themselves against West Hams middle 2 of Rice & Noble.

Don't think this will be a roll over like the last game. Moyes seems to have got a bit of steel back into them. They will come and play deep, happy to let us knock the ball around in front of them and look for the draw or snatch it on the counter or a set piece. I hope that we can get a bit of our earlier tempo back though. If we go ahead we should keep pressing and go for the throat rather than thinking it is job done. As much as I want Nacho to continue his good form, the thing I really want to see is Vardy back amongst the goals. Every striker will go through a barren patch at some time during the season, and this is his, hopefully a lot shorter than his scoring run.

This forum is going to have an absolute meltdown if we lose this.

And rightly so, how can you possibly justify any positives, with anything other then a win?

It also results in the left back being completely hung out to dry because he doesn’t drop back to help out, often drifting into the middle leaving the other team 2 on 1 against the left back
