West Ham Utd 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion (1/12/21)

[honkytonk]

Dont get why people put Arthur lb, he is a terrible defender and big risk there. Might have the odd ok game but in general should be no where near our defence.

Fabs

Coufal
Diop
Zouma
Johnson (if Cresswell out)

Rice
Soucek
Benny/Lanzini (tough choice. Benny is a good player but when he is off his game he does not offer much. Lanzini deserves a start

Fornals
Bowen

Antonio

Id like to see Vlasic get a run. I think the more he plays the better he will become. Looks good on the ball and is clearly starting to find his feet now.

I agree. Would also be an honorable way to get Coufal back in the side without hitting the young lad’s confidence.

Soucek a 3 in midfield would be good enabling rice to get forward more. does kral start ahead of soucek maybe ?
Rice
Lanzini

vlasic give antonio a rest/drop as off form. back for chelski on saturday

UTJ - the game date is wrong on the fixture list for this page.

Really hope we win this.

There isn’t a game date. No matter, we all know it’s Wednesday.

Why is it a 7.30 kick off?

[Daytonahammer]

Lanzini in front of the back four for me pls...either Benny or Pablo or Soucek can reasses themselves from the bench.

Brilliant!

[Hamburger]

Arthur is toast in January, it just goes to show how limited our squad is that we have to use square pegs for round holes again.

Personally I felt that a 4-3-3 would have been a better option against Citeh with Kral alongside Rice & Soucek. This would have allowed either of the latter two to venture forward and no need for wingbacks which left us vulnerable to quick counter attacks.

Lanzini has to start tomorrow, every time he comes on he brings the creativity we've been lacking. Benny is a luxury player imo and play too often breaks down with him. To his credit Moyes has tried to accommodate him but he is not delivering consistently and his attitude to being subbed on Sunday will not enhance his prospects.

What time do you want it to kick off?

[BethnalGreenHammer74]

Time for a few changes with so many games in December. Big game against a team we haven’t done well against in recent years. Need to be on this from the start, and the attacking players need to get back on there game.
I would go with the following team.

Fabianski
Coufal, Zouma, Diop, Cresswell
Rice, Soucek
Bowen, Lanzini, Vlasic
Antonio.

Subs: Areola, Johnson, Masuaku, Dawson, Noble, Benrahma, Yarmolenko, Fornals, Kral.

A 2-1 win, with Antonio and Soucek on the scoresheet.

COYI!!

Why is it a 7.30 kick off?

Because it’s being shown on Amazon Prime and that’s the KO time that they have dictated.

[El brooko79]

Means you can watch the second half of an 8.15 game.
I'm hoping Grealish comes on vs villa

[sendô]

Why is it a 7.30 kick off?

It's on Amazon Prime. They have some games KO at 7:30 and some KO at 8:15 so that people finish watching one game and then switch over and watch the second half of another.

[Kludgehammer]

Some of ours really look like they need a bit of a break. I'd go

---------------- Fab -----------------

Coufal ---- Dawson ---- Zouma --- Creswell (or Johnson, if Cres is injured)

------- Kral ---------- Rice ---------

---------------- Lanzini -------------

---- Bowen --- Antonio --- Fornals

Somebody else mentioned this the other day. I subscribe to Amazon Prime, but have never used it. I cannot find it on any of my channel settings. Do you happen to know its channel number?

[TommyHammer]

Given that Moyes raved about Kral as one to watch at the Euros...I’m surprised he hasn’t played as much...unless Moyes wrote that off the back of what Soucek and Coufal have said :lol:
