Nice home win, I think.
Probably the same team as last Thursday with Emerson and Antonio in for Scarles and Mubama.
Cavalry on the bench.

Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
Expect a load of negative posts after todays performance.....but we really should win this comfortably....3-0
Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
Feels like the easy midweek wins have distracted from the poor league form. We’d won six in a row at home before today but 3 of those in the conference league were hardly a contest.
Hope Moyes is putting all his energy into the Leicester game rather than this one.

Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
Balls to the league, the old West Ham I saw growing up is back!
We’re after a trophy this season. And this is another to aim for.
I would go with the team I’d personally consider starting against Leicester:
———————-—————-Areola——————————————
-Johnson————Zouma———Aguerd————Cresswell
—————————Downes———Rice————————————
—————-———————Paqueta—————————————-
-Benrahma——————Bowen—————-———Emerson-
Subs: Fabianski, Coufal, Kehrer, Dawson, Soucek, Lanzini, Fornals, Antonio, Scamacca.

Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
We are playing the team 2nd in the Championship. Blackburn might not bother much themselves with promotion the target, but as far as I'm concerned, we should be going as strong as possible. Not only to make sure we win the match, but we clearly need to get this team working.

Didn’t realise it is Burnley Blackburn top two. Spicy.
They’ll rest more than we do. If the league cup is low priory for a PL team it is non-existent for a promotion chasing Championship club.

Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
I know I also put Benrahma in my team, but that was before I saw Moyes’ comments after the game about him having a bit of an injury. So I don’t know if he’ll play in this game.

It’s games like these when we could be doing with a ‘banana skin’ emoji
Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
I would suggest to Moyes that he plays a very strong team for this. Only one more game after it, and then The WC break. If we were to lose against Blackburn after yesterdays wretched performance it will turn very toxic.

I'd go with this but play Bowen or Antonio on the right over Fornals.El brooko79 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 7:45 pm ----------------------Areola

As the WC starts after the Leicester game there is no reason that most can't play twice in a week if needed

Re: West Ham United vs Blackburn Rovers: match thread
Really think we have to try something new in this game. Otherwise what is the point?
Not sure if it is wing backs, a diamond, a Christmas tree or any one of the countless other formations people could pull from football manager... but we need to try something new.
If I recall, the start of our good run last year came about when we had to change it up and go to three at the back. Let's give that a go...
We can't just roll out the same tactics week in week out and swap players in hoping to see an improvement.
It is predictable and we have been found out.
