Did Jay have injury problems before the Man City knee thing?

As for West Ham, I hope that their lack of full backs will mean Antonio in the back four.

It's what I'm hoping. Bryam playing on the wrong side at LB, and Antonio back at RB. Win-win-win for us: He's a shocking RB, it limits what he can do in our penalty box, and it puts him on the wrong side of the pitch to Cedric (if Cedric plays).

Not that it's all good mind, about West Ham having injuries at FB. It's actually a shame for us that Masuaku can't take to the field. I read an article in the Mail the other week about West Ham wanting to take Olympiacos to court, for overcharging them - something about a secret payment to an agent I think. I'd suggest that West Ham are totally correct to think that they were overcharged - but because they didn't do their homework, and he's ****.

We need to exploit the lack of experience and fitness of the West Ham full-backs, so please have some width!

Tadic pretty much played right wing against Swansea.
Whether that was because Swansea were missing their regular left back or Puel realised Tadic was better out wide than through the middle I don't know, but I'm confident we'll use the same ploy
 
I think he forgot that bit. Personally, I've got us down for an away win, provided we can convert the chances and that Antonio doesn't score against his old club.

Even if he was a big loanee. Ever since League One, I wish we'd kept him. Reading certainly didn't want him really. Then again, we had Puncheon and Oxo at the time. No, if I think back, I still wish we'd kept him. :)

Me too, loved him in that loan season, and kept an eye on him since. Either way, he'd have moved on from us by now, so wouldn't have made much difference.
 
Expect West Ham to score a deflected goal. They always do.

Probably Antonio or Noble.

But looking for a Charlie Austin hat-trick with him running and pointing at the directors box with a T-shirt saying 'who's not fit enough now?' On it
