Hopefully he scored a couple to really put pressure on antonio
I'd say they have to. Moyes said they're not playing because they haven't had pre season minutes. Well give it to them against Viborg. Scamacca doesn't get the time to get involved coming on so late. And in the few minutes Cornet played you could see he has a couple of gears higher pace wise than our current players. We need that speed. Play them from the off Moyesie.

Scamacca, Cornet, Areola, Downes, Coventry, Ashby and Lanzini should all start. Hopefully one or both of Ogbonna and Dawson are back. Even more hopefully, we bring in a left back and centre back who can start right away,

Is Cresswell suspended for this or not?

I’d take 17th come May and this trophy. In fact, I’d accept relegation to see us lift a cup. That memory will stick far longer than a league campaign.

Funny how we see things so differently.

Having been born a couple of months after the 80 cup final, I just want West Ham to give me a winning cup final day before I die. f*** the Premier League.

Central midfielder Coventry on the Right Wing is an odd move.

Rice is suspended as is presumably Cresswell and also Moyes?
Any new players had to be registered by I think Saturday so no new incomings will feature.

Looks like Areola is going to be in goal.
If they are fit and need minutes then Dawson and Ogbonna should play.
Would like to see Johnson play as a FB rather than a CB which is not his position but to be fair has done pretty well there.

Would assume Cornet and Scamacca would also play along with Downes and likewise Coventry.

Benni was our best player today so would like to see him start.
Biggest worry is Bowen who has not looked his best although only 2 games in - do you play or rest him?
Fornals and Lanzini same.

Will leave the rest to you guys.

Centreback its the same conundrum as today except of course we will now also be missing cresswell and rice.
So i half expect:
Areola
Ashby, coufal, zouma johnson
Soucek, downes
Bowen, fornals, benrahma
Antonio

Subs: fabianski, randolph (god knows why)
Cornet, scamacca, coventry, lanzini, kids…

We should start trying to play longelo at left back.

Not really. He would be playing more wide right midfield than as a winger. Beats flogging Bowen.

I didn't take the option to purchase my seat as I CBA trying to tackle the traffic and then potential parking issues as a result of limited trains. Out of interest, I did check ticket availability in case I have a brainf@rt later in the week and just can't believe (As of now) how bl@@dy empty the stadium could be on Thursday! Virtually most of the Billy Bonds, upper and lower, are available, as is most of all sections to be honest.
Unreal!

I think Moyes will not rotate more than he needs to for this one. He's got a ban and so have his two captains (Cresswell and Rice). Fast start would be nice for a change and hopefully a couple of early goals.

4-3-3: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Johnson, Cornet; Downes, Soucek, Fornals; Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma.
Subs: Fabianski, Randolph, Ashby, Baptiste, Longelo, Lanzini, Coventry, Scamacca.

I think yu are right but I hope he starts Scamacca and tries Antonio wide and rests Bowen to use as an impact sub this one game. Bowne hasn't started wlel and Antonio has had so few good games in the last 9 months. I'd be very tempted to give Ashby a run instaed of Coufal but I am sure moyes will be hoping Coufal finds some form too. By the end of last season Bowen, Rice and Dawson were holding us together. With Big Daws out and Rice and Bowen starting indifferently we are looking in trouble.

We were doing good against Astra until we couldn't believe we were 2-0 up

Not sure if Dawson will have recovered and/or fit for this. I'd take a confidence boosting 2 nil to be honest, there were quite a few predicting 4 nil against Forrest you know. :fxd:
