⚽ Fulham 0-1 West Ham Utd (8/4/23)

[sutts07]

On to the next one... Sat 8th April, 3pm

Can't afford to have any passengers in this game as we really need to go there and win.

Coufal has to come in for Kehrer
Lanzini or Fornals should really come in for Paqueta
Downes has a very good shout now for coming in for Soucek

That said, I also think we need to revisit our entire shape as it just isn't working for us.

Maybe Zouma Ogbonna and Aguerd as a back three for a few games.

Mentioned back 5 also in another thread. But feel we can possibly try a 4 once more vs Fulham. Agree coufal needs to come in.

[HammerAl]

Areola (I love Fab, but AA comes in against his old team)
Coufal Zouma Aguerd Emerson
Rice Paqueta
Bowen Fornals Benrahma
Antonio

With Lanzini, Cornet and Ings ready to help change the game if needed

[neathiron]

Nothing's gonna change unless there's a new manager in the dugout.

2-0 with an even more pissed off Declan getting sent off.

[WCpete]

ugh. too soon

[hammerman11]

Changes needed after that!

Areola
Coufal zouma augerd Emerson
Rice downes fornals
Bowen Antonio Cornet

Bit of pace up front
Better passers in midfield

[Ironing Board]

Must win:

Areola

Coufal Zouma Aguerd Emerson

Soucek Rice

Bowen Fornals Benrahma

Antonio

[kentishiron]

There is absolutely no way in hell any sane person has Soucek anywhere near the lineup

[Humbug]

Fabianski
Coufal, Zouma , Ogbonna, Emerson
Downes
Bowen, Rice, Fornals, Antonio
Ings

I think Aquerd needs a rest because when he's bad , he's really bad as we saw in the FA CUP against Man U. He's a skilful player but can lose a match all by himself. Overconfident and liable to make fatal errors like he did against Newcastle.

Don't really want to see Kehrer , Soucek in the 1st team for the rest of this season.

Except DM for some bizarre reason.

[duncanio]

Think I want to make the defence more competent by bringing Rice to centre back. Zouma was painfully slow to react against Magpies. Beginning to feel more convinced that Areola has the edge on Fab. Benrhama not doing it for me, Antonio left allowing Ings striker.


Areola

Coufal Rice Aguerd Emerson

Downes Lanzini Paqueta

Bowen Ings Antonio

Not convinced by Paqueta so far, would happily sub Fornals for him. Cornet on for any of the front three during the game.

Except DM for some bizarre reason.

DM is not sane

Subs: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Downes, Paqueta, Benrahma, Cornet.

[Wilko1304]

About the only two players I’m sure on are Paquetá and Bowen. Rest are shirking it.

Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Lanzini, Rice, Paquetá; Bowen, Cornet, Fornals.

[Lovejoy]

Absolutely no way Aguerd can play, you cannot make mistakes like that and keep your place. He’s not that good anyway.



Areola
Coufal Zouma Oggy Emerson
Bowen Rice Downes Benramha
Antonio Ings.

Just play 442 and go for it.

[Macca1973]

No idea why people putting Areola, Fornals, Cornet and two forwards in the line up.

I expect Soucek to start again, I expect Ings to start upfront alone, I expect Moyes will instruct us to ‘keep it tight’ at the beginning, I expect us not to score in the first 15 minutes again, I expect Mitrovic’ replacement to score and I expect another defeat.

*Trying to type with a straight face*

I reckon we'll win 2-1.
