He’s not barely played since Everton away last season and can’t seem to get any run of games. Praet has been quality this year so hope it’s not as serious as it seems. Not much been heard from the camp on what’s wrong, seems strange. I don’t like our system today , I think we will struggle . This (not Man City away) is a sign of how far we’ve come. Has a feel of Brighton at home last season, bit disjointed. Can’t see us winning but hope I’m wrong. The positive vibes from this post have made me extremely confident today. 😂

Madders has just come back from a long time put and a tight calf isnt surprising and I think it's better he is rested and niggles are allowed time to get better than making the situation worse. Nothing to worry about!
coolhandfox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Midfield battle will be interesting, West Ham is big and powerful. Youri and Mendy are going to need one of the CB to step in and make it a 3!
Fightforever Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 I think the 3 atb is becuase of west ham having a lanky set piece threatening squad. Hopefully we can still attack though.
Dr The Singh Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Antonio going to be all over Justin. Alot of high balls to the back post
Clever Fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 These are the games we struggled with in the past.

Farrington fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Expecting to see Under get a run out later on.
st albans fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 The superstitious amongst the boys not happy that West Ham have lined up on our side !

Babylon Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Tricky one this, with all the injuries and West Ham being one of those mental teams that can turn it on now and again. Still positive, as we have enough to win it. But not as confident as I was before kick off.
Bazly Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 I'm a tad worried looking to Perez to make things ahppen and a largely past it or unknown bench.

And don’t forget that when you have had and an injury like Madders it is likely to put strain in other parts of the body due to over compensating. It will take a few weeks for him to get back to full fitness. as for the set up I disagree, West Ham will come to press down the flanks, overlap and get balls into the box for the likes of Fornals and Bowen to pick up the scraps. So a three at the back will hopefully prevent that from happening, and allow us to get our full backs and wide players to overlap. And cause havoc. Not being funny, but no defence in this league will want Barnes, Vardy, Chestnut and Justin running at them. Not to mention Perez in and around to pounce on any lose balls. I’m confident we will win this. 1
