Some West Ham fans haven’t got a clue. They are saying that Long being out with Covid is a blow and that Walcott is another blow as he is one of our best players. Not sure where they get that idea from. I think most of us agree that the only part of the ‘triple’ blow they mention is not having S. Armstrong available. https://www.hammers.news/injury-new...ttl-confirms-new-blow-ahead-of-hammers-clash/
So singing the earwig song and looking forward to KO at 4 pm over here. Macca; KWP, Stephens, Salisu, Perraud; Livromento, JWP, Romeu, Djenepo; Adams, Armstrong. The win will silence the Whummers.
Lawro's reasoning: "Southampton are another team without a victory so far but I think their performances have been better than their results in their first three games. West Ham, meanwhile, have won two out of three and would have a 100% record if they hadn't let their lead slip twice at home against Crystal Palace before the international break. This is going to be close, but I just have a sneaky feeling Saints are going to snatch the points here, and end their wait for a win." So, no in-depth analysis of either team, just 'a sneaky feeling'. Does Lawro get paid for this? We should demand a reduction in our licence fee, or some genuine analysis of teams' strengths and weaknesses, as opposed to guesswork.
