Rustynail Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Think we will set up the same way as the first two games. Kaspar Castagne Evans (Amartey if Evans injured) Soyuncu Justin Mendy Barnes Tielemans Praet (Maddison if Praet injured) Perez Vardy I can see Under being on the bench and getting about 15-20mins, much like we've eased Maddison back. We might see him earlier, depends if Perez can be effective or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper stands deep in his box a lot and someone in Defence usually doesn’t pick up the loose man Do we not use zonal marking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect him to "do an Okazaki" in many games and be withdrawn quite early as he gets tired. Pleasing to hear about his quality though. Someone like Mahrez or Salah in our current team would bag a ton of goals. Under is a clinical finisher and if gets the chances Barnes makes for himself, he can easily bag 10-15 a season if he stays fit. Will be interesting to see how he performs for us.

Popular Post Deeg67 Posted 2 October 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 2 October 2020 (edited) Thank goodness with Praet - I was quite worried things could be pretty serious the way BR was talking. Probably our most indispensable player so far this season in terms of all-around impact. Edited 2 October 2020 by Deeg67 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxtonfox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I see Wesley and Cengiz being on the bench for this one. Not sure they will be coming on either, it depends on the situation. If we're losing he may throw on Cengiz, but I can't see Wesley being put on at all unless there are injuries to Evans or Caglar; or heaven forbid a sending off for one of them! Hopefully we can negotiate this match reasonably comfortably without too many alarms before the international break. However I would point out that West Ham now have belief, pace, height and strength; attributes that we have recently not been able to deal with too well this year. Who's the ref for this game?

TeamRocket Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I say stop them getting any goals for 15/20 min by then we'll know what they are about and then smash em with a clean sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhYesNdidi Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I can see us having 60/65% possession, so need to be patient and let our quality show. If Tielemans is on form, he’ll dominate the midfield. Just need to take our chances and hopefully we can handle the long ball to Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been so fun watching tielemans slot in inch perfect passes and playing up to his potential. I just hope if Maddison is back in the starting XI that it doesn't cause him to revert back to last season's form.

Evans seems to be picking up little niggles here and there and didn't really have a pre-season so I imagine if we are comfortable it would be wise to take Evans off for a bit and give Fofana a run out Referee: Andy Madley. Assistants: Eddie Smart, Adrian Holmes. Fourth official: Simon Hooper. VAR: Graham Scott. Assistant VAR: Marc Perry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Kasper Castagne - Evans - Soyuncu - Justin Mendy Maddison - Tielemans Perez - Vardy - Barnes Can't see Under starting just yet. Reckon he'll be given his phased game-time like Maddison has this season. Just hope that when Maddison and Tielemans play, they aren't restrictive of each other. Especially for the latter who's been one of the best players so far and has started in great form. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? we are a much better team than West Ham. Bar our top 4 competitors, we dominate most games we play. West Ham will be sitting back (just like most teams do against us now), it will be up to us to win the football match. Cannot imagine there will be the space in behind or in between their defence and midfield as there was vs Manchester City for us to exploit. First goal is key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 The key thing is for us to deal with their height and physicality. They have some seriously big and strong players. Given our relative lack of height and physicality that could be an issue defending set pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 (edited) Judging by what Rodgers has said. Kasper Castagne Evans Cags JJ Madders Mendy YT Perez Vards Barnes Under on for Perez 55, Praet gives Madders a rest 75ish.
