EL: West Ham Utd 0-1 Dinamo Zagreb (9/12/21)

Post by Shabu »

I'm starting the match thread again because I produced some magic today :clown:

On Thursday we play Zagreb at home know that the result does not matter at all. When was the last time we can say that? The match against Villa at the end of the 2019/20 season?

Of course, it will affect whether Zagreb or Genk go through to the next round of the Europa Cup but that ain't our problem, innit.

We seem to have about half a dozen injuries at the moment so I would play a completely different team from today, or most days.

I don't know enough about our kids to pick a team here but I'm looking forward to seeing what those in the know say.

Areola, Fredericks (if fit), Perkins, (what happened to) Okoflex, Noble, Yarma & Vlasic should all start. Plus whoever else.

3-1 to the Hammers

No chance I’d risk Masuaku with Zouma, Ogbonna, Johnson and Cresswell all injured.

Why do match thread starters think it's appropriate to change the thread title formatting from how it's been since year dot?

I suppose I should really put this in the little thing that irritates you thread, as it is a little thing that irritates me...

Dawson and Diop nowhere near the squad for this. They should both be kept in padded crates and only released for prem games and LC QF.

I've never started one, and don't pay any attention, so have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't think we'll see quite as many youngsters as all that. Not to start at least.

I'm guessing something like:

Areola (although I'd love to see Martin)

Fredericks
Dawson
Kral
Alese
Masuaku (assuming Cresswell's back for Burnley)

Noble
Fornals

Vlasic
Benrahma
Yarmalenko

Edit: United?

Anyway - the strongest 2nd XI we can possibly have. We have an unbeaten record to maintain. No sentimentality, just lay down the gauntlet and be unbeaten in the group stage.

I think it would be irresponsible to go with Dawson or Diop. We can play a stronger side further up the field.

Oko-Flex, along with Nevers and Ekwah are all apparently ineligible as they were not in the named squad. We can play u23 players but they have to have been with the club as youngsters for a certain number of years.

Having said that, it would be so (old) West Ham to play one of them and get thrown out of the cup for fielding an ineligible player.

Would imagine Dan Chesters might play though, as he had a few minutes in the Genk game.

You can’t honestly care? Surely you have other things going on in life that your time would be better spent contemplating than the formatting of thread titles in here. I hope for your own sake that’s the case. :lol:

Stop being so dramatic :lol:

I have no idea what the proper format is so using silly phrases like "Why do match thread starters think it's appropriate to change the thread title formatting" makes you look like Upset of Milton Keynes writing to Esther Rantzen :grin:
