Think I'd give that a go too

Nothing on bench to change it.
Let's hope we see the new west ham in the second half
No worse than Southampton, Brentford, Brighton. Even several games last season. We always struggle to dominate games at the bowl

As stated previously, and criticised for saying bit, Coufal has been appalling all season.

if only we had a centreback who can step forward with the ball, Rice could but then we lose him in midfield, Antonio on a yellow so expect a few attempts to get him a red, Vlassic, lanzini too quiet, Coufal has been poor, moyes needs a big shake up for this half, very poor first half a real lack of energy and the passing is sloppy and slow

Antonio is going to get a red in this next 45

This is the starting 11 that beat Norwich fairly easily, but for the defence forgetting what a football is we wouldn't be losing.
Suggest you watch the game. I’m there btw
Losing the midfield

Feels like we need Dec to sit because of the counter, but he’s also beating men going forward.

Fornals has picked some lovely passes. Not sure we’ve seen enough of Bowen on the wing, and he’s lost the ball poorly on a few occasions
If we manage to sort things out at the back, and keep a clean sheet in this 45, we will score.

If you ever doubted the value of Tommy Soucek because he's less eye-catching than last season that half should clear it up for you. There's a great big hole in the centre of the park.

Not that it would have made much difference to our 'defence', every one of them has made big individual errors already.

Having said all that, I don't think we're done here, get on the front foot from the start and get organised at the back and I could see a win.

The balance is all wrong. If Rice is gonna go Roy of the Rovers someone’s got to sit.

I'd make some changes.

Masuaku -- Lanzini
Fredericks -- Coufal

Fabianski
Diop Dawson Cresswell
Fredericks Rice Fornals Masuaku
Vlasic
Bowen Antonio

Despite playing with a real lack of quality, we’ve had enough chances to be ahead already. Got to keep going second half and keep creating chances.

Slow start, sloppy goals, still confident we'll get something out of this.

But if Kral isn't good enough, which he might not be we don't see training, then he had no other choice.

I am watching the game, just because you're there doesn't give you the more important opinion.
