Got nothing to say about that game, sounds like woeful stuff. First away game for Benitez and I'm sure he'll be glad to get away from SW6. I wonder what sort of team he'll put out. I'd take a point from this game, tough place to go to and the Spammers will be right up for this one. We have to be direct and get right at them. I'd actually give Marin a start, play Hazard in the middle with Moses on the left. Bring Mikel back into the side. Can't afford to lose this one.
Well... we may be leaving SW6... but our away fans will make our voices heard. Although recently we have been poor.. i'm looking forward to this. It's my first visit to Upton Park and it's a big derby. I agree and Oscar shouldn't start. He hasn't been great recently. I would also drop Romeu as he is poor and put in Mikel. We need to show desire and willingness to win or we will lose. Keep a clean sheet. Score some goals. And everyone is happy.
No way. We'll get more chances here so will West Ham. I think they'll nick it, not confident but with Luiz out we have a chance.
Oscar is probably first in line for the cut. Wish Lamps was back tbh. Back 4 should stay the same but with Luiz out for Cahill (rotation more than form). Midfield I'd actually say Romeu again and Ramires, but have Romeu slightly ahead of Ramires. Front 3 I'd play Mata, Marin, and Hazard. Sadly it looks like Torres again.
Torres looks as if he has been declared persona non dropable from them above. If so another giant balls up to add to all the others courtesy of Buck, Gourley and RA.
