People keep going on about Migs distribution however surely this is the game plan and what is practised? I'm pretty sure he can't be rolling the ball out all week in training then just get match day nerves and start hoofing the ****er, can he? I certainly wouldn't roll the ball out to O'Shea as he is the worst passer of the ball the world has seen. I believe the tactic is to hit Fletcher, giving us possession higher up the pitch and a platform to attack. Fletcher got nothing all day from these punts, mainly due to the fact that both of Liverpool's central defenders kept ploughing into the back of him and the ref seemed happy for this to take place.
Got my tickets to this one today. Taking the wife !! Anyone been to West Ham lately? Is it safe for the wife to come along? Looking forward to it, 1st live game of the season for me. KTF.
Close to what I would go for but I would keep Sess in and go: Migg Bardsley, O'Shea, Cuellar, Colback Larsson, Gardener, Catts, Johnson Sess Fletcher
Wease he was injured for 2 years and only got back into the team at the beginning of this year! I personally rate the lad if he can rediscover the form he had prior to his first bad injury - but that's the big IF - Alan Shearer in the year after his injury only got 2 goals but still was a great player afterwards (I know he's a mag but you have to give credit where due) big IF but if he can then great - he's certainly no worse than McClean at the moment! Maybe McClean and Sessegnon need a kick up the arse to get them playing again as they seem to know they're guaranteed picks. AJ when fit makes McClean a better player as defences can't do a job on him - Larsson is not a "winger" in the traditional sense - he won't run past players as he's not quick enough but what he has is excellent delivery and passing - that's why I think he'll be better in CM! Definitely not safe for the wife Mackem - I think you should leave her at home and I'll go with you just in case
