I wonder if Davis might spend some time out on the wings helping out the fullbacks, or if they entrust Ramirez and Lallana to do the covering. It's so important to our play that the wingers help the fullbacks out, especially when Fox has come in. I'm more happy to see fox in the starting line than I have been in the past, he hasn't dove very well this year especially against west ham but I feel we will be able to control this match and not let west ham get at fox. He should be able to play some good balls into Jos which has a fair chance of coming today I reckon. I really hope Ramirez is up for this game, we need him to perform today just as much as he needs to perform to keep his spot in the team. Hopefully hope pochettino can start getting the best out of Ramirez as that would give his team a massive boost.
Only one of the four theoretical conditions that prevent him and his like playing well are in place: It's Monday night - no It's an away fixture - no You're playing Stoke - no It's pissing with rain - check Hope he can overcome that.
According to the commentator on my stream, West Ham lead for large parts of last season and we pipped them to an auto place...
