I'd agree with the 1st one but willock agras of either Longstaff or shelvey.. Longstaffs getting rave reviews, but I thought he was ****e as usual personally. He tried he was a pest, but ultimately he was ****e.
I think Joelinton will be dropped and quite why we gave gayle another contract I have no idea because he's ****, he's always been **** and always will be **** and the save applies for Andy Carroll... Carroll was always ****.
It's Ogbonna that's been the biggest miss for us, been out for 2 1/2 months and we've not looked anywhere near as good at the back since. I'm not that confident for a West Ham win, wheels are bound to come off sooner or later, and you sit back, which we have a problem with breaking down.
I suspect Moyes will double up on him with Coufal and Fredericks and try to squeeze him out of the game. That has tended to be the case against winger type dangermen, and worked pretty well tbh. it spawned my favourite meme. please log in to view this image
Something of a poignant moment this, we have The Clown Who Was Sacked Before He Got The Mackems Relegated vs The Clown Who Finally Did Get The Mackems Relegated. Start ASM, Wilson and Willock and we've got a good chance, start with the team that started against Burnley and we'll get mangled.
I think we've got a chance of a point... I know they're a good side and on a roll, but it's probably our best chance of a result in the next 5. Fingers crossed
So win this game and it really puts the pressure on Fulham against Arsenal the day after. I honestly think we might win this but we have to have a positive mindset.
We are a bit of a bogey team for the hammers so wouldn't be surprised if we got something here. TBH though I'm hopeful they qualify for the CL just to **** with the "big 6" in all honesty. How amazingly brilliant would it be if WH, Leicester and Everton were to get in the top 6 instead of Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs and then Southampton won the FA Cup to prevent any of them getting Europe next season.
Realistic expectations for the line up - --------------------Wilson-------------- --------Almiron--------------ASM--------- ------------Longstaff-Shelvey-------- Ritchie-----------------------------------Murphy --------Dummett-Clarke-Fernandez---- ----------------------Dubravka-------------- What I'd prefer - -----------------Wilson----------------- ASM---------ALMIRON---------MURPHY (Can swap wings if needed throughout match) ---------Longstaff------Shelvey------- Dummett--Clarke-Fernandez---Manquillo -----------------Dubravka----------------- I'm tempted to play Willock but I sometimes think he's more suited to being an impact player coming late on.
I’m possibly the only one who doesn’t rate Willock to highly. He’s done ok for us but some games he completely went missing. Maybe that’s the Bruce effect.
