Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 West Ham Utd (17/08/19)

[Paolopaul]

On my way to the game.

Only at West Ham could we lose an entire front 3 after 1 game.

Brighton are very physical at the back, personally would not go with Hernandez for this one.

Hope Snoddy is played centrally not out wide.

Reads like a 4321 to me.

[leer34]

Staggering after seeing continuously how innefective hernandez is as a lone striker he's picked him over antonio...mind you this us a manger who thought our midfield was sufficient,
All a bit bizarre

[EastleighHammer16]

Ogbonna is starting :lol:

[EastleighHammer16]

[dodger]

Ogbonna captain!? :shock:

[Patito]

Ogbonna is starting :lol:

Wtf?!!

[Swiss Pauli]

Here's hoping that Oggy & Arfur don't have one of their 'Axis of Awful' displays today.
:arry:

[smuts]

Haller injured then. Sigh.

Oggy in for Baluena and made Captain? Wow.

[EastleighHammer16]

Think i'll be covering my eyes on set pieces today. Ogbonna loves a shirt pull and grab of a player, VAR will crucify him.

[gegsy]

Hernandez up top on his own is worrying.

I like Snodgrass in midfield. Have no idea why Balbuena has been dropped.

Bit of a weird team.

[westhamlinnet]

I believe Haller played all matches last year for eintracht he comes to west ham one match injured what do the medical staff do year after year this injury curse goes on

[gegsy]

Still, it'll be good when Yarmolenko, Antonio and Ajeti come on to save the day in the second half.

It's not the medical teams fault that City kicked lumps out of him all game last week.

BBC had Balbuena and Haller as suffering from knocks in the City game.

It's no surprise to me, tbh, I would've dropped Balbuena today, pretty awful last week, I thought

Can see a similar game to last season with them leading at half time after a tame performance from us. We make subs, dominate the second half but can’t find the goals.

Come on West Ham, prove me wrong.

[docarnie]

I don't think we can blame the medical staff for City kicking lumps out of us

[claretnblueglasses]

I was still remaining upbeat despite the Haller and Anderson losses, but Ogbonna being in the team (and captain) quickly evaporated that confidence into dismay.

[bubbles1966]

I'd happily take a 0-0 with that team.
