UCL: West Ham Utd 3-1 Viborg FF (18/8/22)

Post by Shabu »

Thursday 18th August

At home, on a warm summer night.

Moyes will start with the same team as today except Areola :grin:

Would love to see Ashby, Okoflex, Scamacca, Cornet, Coventry & Downes get starts.

Temperature in London is supposed to be much cooler by Thursday but if we go a goal down, this will get heated.

Rice and Cresswell banned as is Moyes?

Play the youth team, this shouldn't be considered any more than an u21 tournament.

We need to play a strong side for our form, let alone making sure we qualify.

Could see Areola, Cornet, Scammaca coming in, suspect Moyes is still too stubborn to switch out Rice or Soucek.

Rice is banned for two games so he'll have to switch rice

Nope, best team available. It's a trophy that we ought to be taking seriously. And pay the opposition the respect they they deserve (remember Astra goo goo?)
I think it's going to be another laboured performance but we should win with something to spare. 2-0.

Strong team out to put this to bed, by far out best chance of winning something this season.

Feeling Dawson might be back so Johnson can play LB to cover Cresswell suspension.

Downes in for Rice

Lanzini for Fornals

Front three of Cornet, Scamacca and Benny

-Cornet—————Scamacca——————Benrahma-


I am assuming Oggy was rested this week so may be able to play in this. If not, good luck picking a defence Moyes with no Dawson, and Cresswell probably being suspended!

At least Rice won't be taking any penalties.

I’m thinking it’ll be:

Areola
Coufal Zouma Johnson Cornet
Downes Soucek
Bowen Lanzini Fornals
Scamacca

Unless a centre back is now fit.

How are we so short of players already????
