Croatian international, 24 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and he's started in every single one of their Europa League games this season so you'd assume he'd be a big loss.

ThorstenH on their forum has tickets in the "opposite grandstand" (I assume that'd be the BML), so they've definitely managed to source a few tickets in the home end: https://community.eintracht.de/forum/di ... 866?page=3
I want to know who 'East End Hammer' is...

I hope you can speak perfect English as West Ham have upped policing and stewards

They are speaking to every fan walking through two cordons around the stadium."

Sets either a good or bad precedent. Personally I think all grounds should eject fans wearing opposition colours in the home ends and it should come from uefa.

At the Sevilla home game I wore my farewell boleyn shirt that obviously has the old badge.
A young steward uncomfortably stopped me (outside the gate) and asked me to remove my shirt as it "upsets the home fans". I was really confused then a more senior steward explained to him I was west ham.

He looked a bid daft but respected the intent. He looked a but timid and obviously didn't want the conversation but did it anyway.
I always wear my tops with the old badge; not been pulled on that one yet 😆 there was a time when they employed people who had a bit of nous about them - now it needs senior stewards to educate the idiots 🙄

I think that any frankfurt fans in our end will get a right hander before the stewards get involved

I also expect it go off if they start giving it when walking through stratford

Maybe I'm in the minority, but if Frankfurt fans have sourced tickets and they keep their head down and mouths shut, credit to them for trying everything to attend games. We've been doing the same thing the last few European away days.

If they turn up in Frankfurt gear and try to cheer or sing songs. That's another matter.

Absolutely. Not gonna start asking questions or running to stewards if any are near me. If they are just there to watch football, fine. I've had opposing fans near me before and they've been quiet. The only times that really pissed me off was during a defeat to Arsenal, they had loads in the local council/freebies in the STBL and all wore colours and cheered etc. Also back in the Championship maybe 04/05, a QPR fan in the chicken run, went mental and started running along the walkway, facing us and cheering when they scored. Think we beat them 2-1 anyway.

Which i hope doesn't happen as they will no doubt find any excuse to ban /reduce our away allocation for the return leg or even the final.

Areola
Coufal - Johnson - Dawson - Cresswell - Masuaku
Soucek - Rice - Fornals
Bowen - Antonio

If Zouma can make it, go to a back 4 and bring Lanzini/Benrahma in. I do think Fredericks is better suited to the wing back role, but given the makeshift defence we could probably do with Coufal's defensive nous to provide some cover for Ben Johnson.

Can't believe we are going to start Masuaku in a game as important as this.

If we're playing a back 3, also have the option of Fornals at LWB and then bring Lanzini into the midfield. In fact, I wouldn't be leaving Lanzini out for this match. He's one of our best players this season.

Cheers Misko.
The nerves/excitement are building as the hours tick by until kick off.
It’s going to be an electric atmosphere at the LS.
Aiming to get their extra early, partly because my train journey to get their for the Lyon home game was bad.
I live not so far away, but only made kick off with minutes to spare due to a signal failure on my train line :angryred:

I doubt you're in the minority mate,. I've been to all our Euro aways apart from Vienna and because I don't get my tickets through West Ham I was sitting in with the local support. And I certainly wasn't the only one doing so. Not an issue at all.

Song singing usually only happens in largeish groups so unless Frankfurt have managed to get blocks of tickets I doubt there will be too much of that apart from in their allocated areas.

Play Arthur but leave out Lanzini???

Id play a back 4 and trust Johnson to do the bizz

He has far more experience in Europe than most of our team, 20 appearances.

That maybe but he is a poor defender, weak positionally and has a questionable final ball. It doesn't matter how many times he has proved it in Europe!

Moyes would rather start Fornals over Masuaku. Lanzini will play alongside Tom and Dec
