Popular Post Jimmy Posted 6 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 6 April 2021 (edited) I’d go for a midfield diamond in this, Maddison behind the 2 strikers Praet and Tielemans either side of Wilf Edited 6 April 2021 by Jimmy 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glebe_sydneyfox Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 Cracking game this will be. I've got a lot of respect for what Moyes is slowly building at the Hammers. Rice injured is a big bonus for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aus Fox Posted 6 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 6 April 2021 They outclassed us at our place because they won the midfield battle, we didn’t have Ndidi they had Rice. This time we should have Ndidi and they are without Rice. Turns the game completely on its head. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_77 Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 6 hours ago, SixtiesFox said: As I said, they are a big, solid, well organized team and they caught us on an off day. Fair play to them. They deserved to win on the day. But one-off games are not a reliable indicator of which is the better team. Any team is capable of beating any other on a given day in the Premier League but over a season class will tell. I would argue that our record over the last two seasons suggests we are better than West Ham. A win at the weekend would further underline that claim and it would go a long way towards cementing our position in the top 4. Wouldn't you agree? I’d say West Ham’s project is a bit behind ours but that there isn’t a giant gulf between the two sides; they are a quality team this season. A win this weekend would be massive, no doubt about that, but I think it’s too early to tell what that does for our long-term status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardyfox86 Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 We need 12 points from the next 5, don't care how they come but a win here would relieve alot of pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, sorry, I think you missed this, but Leicester City and Manchester City already received their bye's into the 2021 FA Cup final. The semi final's were decided by their football forum's optimism, arrogance and rep points. It is a City vs City lockout. People already have tickets and everything, yeah it's an actual thing.

Fox85 Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 Due to the way things have worked out and the run Westham are on, this is the most important game of the season if we lose this or even draw it will leave us with a hell of a lot of work to be done to achieve top 4.. We need to get atleast 12 points from our next 4 games while taking 3 of those from Westham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 (edited) This game is must not lose. Would happily take a point before those four games of West Brom, Saints, Palace, Newcastle. Edited 6 April 2021 by AKCJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 Going to be one of those nervous games. I dont think top 4 is decided whether we win, lose or draw. However, a defeat adds pressure especially if Liverpool win (i think they'll be 4 points behind us). If we win, it sets us up nicely for the next four games which, on paper are definitely winnable.

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 6 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 6 April 2021 Ironic that we play West Ham in a pivotal game on 11th of April, reminds me of another West Ham game on the 17th of April 2016. It ended 2-2 and seemed like the end of the world, dropped points, star striker suspended for 3 games, just remember whatever the result on Sunday, its not the end of the story....... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather all 3 were out for this game. Rice is already confirmed as missing isn't he? Hoping Antonio misses the game tbh. Out of all West Hams players I think its him I'm most wary of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is 12 from our last 8 games will make it very difficult for the rest of the league to catch us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrefelderFox666 Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 It would be great to get at least a point from this game. However, as long as we get 9-12 points from the 4 games that follow (tough but not too much to ask for a Top 4 competitor), then we are well on track.

Sharpe's Fox Posted 6 April 2021 Share Posted 6 April 2021 Sorry but if we don't win this we don't deserve to be in the Champions League. A game away against a team in great form trying to be where we are. This is a game where a proper side asks "what have you got on us?" and not only gets a result but puts in a performance that really gives West Ham a footballing lesson. Big, big mental test for our lads come Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
