UCL: Viborg FF 0-3 West Ham Utd (25/8/22)

Post by Shabu »

UEFA Europa Conference Qualifying Round - Second Leg.

Thursday 25th August, KO: 1800

Seeing as I'm the only one who can start a winning match thread & our WHOLE season hinges on the Europa Conference, it's up to me to save our season :grin:

The game is at 6pm UK time but I have no idea if it's being televised anywhere. Anyone going to the game?

I'm not going to pick a random team but Moyes will stick with his tried and trusted favourites - and he's a professional manager so fair play to him.

Final score 2-2

I think we should throw this and concentrate on getting out of the bottom 3.

With how we are playing, i wouldn't be shocked if we got knocked out. If they get an early goal we are in trouble. They were neat and tidy last week, played some nice football (must be nice!).

Makes no sense after today's team selection but I'd go with largely the same team as today if fit with a couple of changes.

Reasoning being we need our best players available and for for the next league match more than this...

Scamacca and Cornet starting means they won't in the league I'd guess so save them for Villa, proper balls up today with the next two games not being considered

Go back to a back 5.
Drop Cresswell, Coufal, Soucek. Fornals
Start Cornet Scamacca

I think we'll go through. Just. But as others have said it would be no shock or surprise if we blow it.
I'll go for 1-1.

So play with 9 and Downes and Coventry as the CM in what is an important game. No pressure there.

Whilst if the stars align, it's certainly possible that we could lose the tie out in Denmark - we won't. I think we'll score at least one goal, which would mean they would have to score three just to take it to ET or penalties.

We're as good as through.


This better not come back and bite me in the arse.

I can see us scraping a draw (As previous posts have suggested) but it'll be a dire, worse than watching paint dry performance. As per, I hope I'm wrong, but I wasn't against Forrest or today! Hate being right when discussing with family :twisted:

Think we should go all in for the UCL. It's our best chance of winning something in 43 years and by far our best chance of securing European football next season...

————————————Areola————————————

-Ashby——-Kehrer-Ogbonna-Cresswell——-Emerson-

—————————-Rice—————-Downes———————

-Cornet———————Scamacca——————Fornals-


Subs: Fabianski, Coufal, Johnson, Zouma, Soucek, Coventry, Lanzini, Benrahma, Bowen, Antonio.


If Emerson doesn’t sign in time then I’d play Johnson instead.

If this team plays well and get the job done I’d be tempted to keep the majority of this team the same for the Villa game. Probably Zouma having to come in for Oggy, who may not be able to play 2 games a week.

I’ve tried to be very positive on the threads this evening but if we lose this, I’ll be properly triggered.

It’s been a blast playing in Europe, would be gutted to have it ended.

I’m off to Copenhagen on Tuesday, then the train to Randers. Fancied smorgasbord for a couple of days.

Nice.

I’m undecided whether to get a direct flight to one of the airports further away and then a train, or get an indirect flight. The cost of an indirect flight is quite a bit more but then I imagine a train in a Nordic country won’t be cheap either!
