rubecula Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 this ci=ould be the most important bame of the season fo us ,,, any chance we will lose this game will ultimate=ly cause us to be demised as a challenging team , we will be beaten by a side from down south that we were expecting to be well avow in the top six at the start of the season , however if we win it will help in belief that we have a great manager at the helm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Pickford Sidibe Keane Mina Digne Gomes Delph Richarlison Iwobi Bernard DCL Before I go on I would prefer 433, but dont believe Silva will play around with the system at this stage and will only really trial it with Gbamin fit and when we are not lurking around the relegation zone. Not the team that I'd be wanting to start with at this stage of the season either, but for the love of god drop Siggy, he has done nothing to warrent starting at all. Sid in for Seamus, Gomes can now pair with Delph in the middle, Iwobi looks like the only threat we have behind the striker. Bernard back in at LW. DCL is used to the system and team around him, now is not the time to be dropping Kean in the shit that the other players need to get themselves out of. If Silva was going to introduce him into the squad that should have been a lot done earlier in the season and with due diligence - if he starts next week and does nothing, then changes back to DCL the week after and so on, so on, that was cause more problems. Keep this squad for the next 3 games minimum until we find some common ground and form. No more Sig, no more Schniederlin. These two players are holding us back more than any others at this moment and need to be as far away from starting as possible.

Bailey Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 When I watched them against Palace last night, I didn't see anything special. In fact Palace, with McCarthy, Kouyate and Macarthur, the latter being a very underrated player in my opinion, more or less put out all the fires but their problem was that bar Zaha they were shite in attack and couldn't hold on to the ball in dangerous areas. The fact they scored two goals shows that West Ham have as many problems as us. They will play 4-3-3, at least one of the central midfielders, likely to be Lanzini will go past Haller but Macarthur was able to simply track him (or Fornals later in the game) and remove the danger. They have some very talented players that on their day could do something special but they aren't a team to be feared, especially away from home. There is no point picking a team because we know what will come from Silva but I just hope he stops playing a number 10 and either moves to a single pivot or to a two up front.

That is the team I would love to see, but the manager is yellow and we will get Gylfi in the prime position doing zilch as usual, were as Iwobi looks our most dangerous player going forward from the centre of the park.

Zoo 2.0 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 West Ham are shit, but one of those hard-working teams that get results against others that aren't up for the fight. I fear that with Hallier in form they'll battle through to three points with a goal or two, I just don't think that we're mentally ready for a game of this ilk although obviously happy to be proven wrong. If Silva was going to be sacked he would probably have gone by now, the post match debrief with the Directors would have taken place today so unless they're spending the night sleeping on it would have expected him gone this afternoon. No doubt the feelers are out (and probably have been for some time) on a replacement. On 04/10/2019 at 13:35, MikeO said: Are you in England Peter? What's the cheapest travel option?

Can't recommend it enough. Estonia is really nice too if you're wanting to spend time in Scandinavia. I'd put them above Denmark/Finland/Sweden although don't think you'd go wrong spending time there either. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that they will shut up shop and frustrate us as we continue to hit every ball high and wide. Cheer up mate, you'll do your own head in thinking like that for the next 10 days !

pete0 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Pickford Davies Holgate Mina Digne Walcott Delph Gomes Sigurdssen Iwobi DCL For me Davies is clever enough to play any position bar up top. He reads the play very well yet Sidebe as quick as he is would make me worry defensively. Would have Walcott in front as Davies doesn't have the speed to overlap and it works give Walcott the freedom to stay forward and power their fullback or better yet exploit him as Cresswell hasn't been the same since injury and is a weak point. Sigurdssen on the wing as it'll get him on the ball more, and Iwobi for his intelligence for making runs. Real shame runs go unreported as his movement is excellent, finishing and decision making is wanting but I think he could be a fan favourite if we up it a gear.
