Manchester Utd 2-1 West Ham Utd (27/09/14)

[Rockhampton Hammer]

I'd love us to do 'em but fear a backlash.

6 - 2


It's the West Ham Way

[WoodgateHammer]

Confidence - Manure all time low - West Ham highest for a few years no doubt.

I'll go 1-3

Mata - Valencia (2), Downing.

Oh, and the "Sacked in the mornin, you're getting sacked in the mornin, sacked in the moooooorning, you're gettin sacked in the morning" - at the final whistle

[Korea Hammer]

We're currently 10/1 with Betfred for those with faith.

[ageing hammer]

My worry is if Kouyate is sidelined, we need the same midfield from our last game to have a chance of an upset. IMO

[Nesticles]

They are terrible at the back, but world class going forward. We'll get chances, just need to take them. I imagine Amalfitano will come in for Kouyate if he is injured. He will be a huge loss for us if he is out.

[NW5hammer]

Repeat the trick from Saturday - get Downing to man-mark Di Maria.

[roblo]

9am train up Saturday morning. This week is gonna go slowwwwwwwly!

[Tony Stark]

We can win this. They seem to have no clue to they're up to defensively and Sahko and Valencia are on fire!

[claretcloggy]

heart says win, head says narrow defeat..so a draw it is!

[szola]

It'll be a good game, f'sure

[fjthegrey]

I'm not scared of them at all. Di Maria is just a more expensive Stuart Downing, Falcao is just a shorter and whiter Diafra Sakho and none of their defenders are fit to clean the toilet after a Winston Reid bowel movement.

Believe. Again.

[Rasp]

I shall try again.....you know what, we can win this...

[riksdodgydeals]

i think as usual this will be where a team comes good, they'll have a point to prove, perhaps if we score really early we can get the crowd on their backs. i'd think Blacket will be dropped but Sakho looks like he'd give anyone a game right now. Kayoute would be a big loss (whats happened to him?)

[thejackhammer]

We can win. But without Kouyate I'd be worried. They're weaker than Liverpool at the back, I'd say that Valencia, Sakho and Downing is a more dangerous front three than Ulloa, Nugent and Vardy?

Another 3-1, Sakho to continue his goalscoring form, Downing and Valencia as well. Falcao will open his account for them.

[Hainault Hammer]

i think as usual this will be where a team comes good, they'll have a point to prove, perhaps if we score really early we can get the crowd on their backs. i'd think Blacket will be dropped but Sakho looks like he'd give anyone a game right now. Kayoute would be a big loss (whats happened to him?)

Blackett is suspended after his red card yesterday at Leicester

[nickkarkie]

Blackett won't be dropped as he is suspended, Evans is injured, they will probably play blind at the back.

They beat us easily before when they had no defenders on the pitch after 25 minutes, I hope we don't sit back or the same will happen to us as happened to QPR. The teams that have caused them the most trouble are Leicester and Swansea, and both did it by countering at pace, we have the players to do that now.

[riksdodgydeals]

ah ok cheers guys. whats up with Kayoute then?

carrick at the back wasnt it before!

i dont think we should go and respect the point, we're off to a good start i think we need to rattle them, too dangerous to sit back so lets go for it

[il_martello_di_genovesi]

Another good performance with the same style will do me.

Anything but a defeat is a bonus.

They have a **** defence, that we can take advantage of. They also have a handful of World Class players, that if putting in top performances, can destroy most teams.

As long as we take something positive from this, going into QPR, I'll be happy.

[Cockneyboy311]

I really do think that we need to approach this game the same as the Liverpool one. They are piss weak at the back. We will have to up our defending a bit though as their forward line is terrifying. I can see another high scoring game lets hope we end up on the right side of it. Falcao is nailed on to score his first goal against us :arry:

[ereford ammer]

Beating Man Ure after giving the Bin dippers a good hiding would be fantastic. Lets hope the lads give another convincing performance.
