West Ham vs Spurs | PL | 13.9.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

[stubbo-admin]

With the 'interesting' football hiatus that International Football brings, figured I'd get this match thread up.  The result against Forest makes this game in some ways less significant (as the clock will have been reset on Potter's tenure) but also more interesting as there is a modicum of form to take into the game.

Fullkrug should obviously never be allowed on international duty again, what with it being an injury magnet for him, but that aside, as of now there are no new injuries.  Rumours of a Summerville injury also appear unfounded.

So from a lineup perspective, I'm expecting something like:

Hermansen

Walker-Peters  Mavropanos   Kilman   Diouf

Ward-Prowse Magassa

 Bowen     Soucek   Fernandes

Paqueta

Subs: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Igor, Rodriguez, Irving, Guilherme, Summerville, Willson

Left out: Earthy, Marshall, Potts, Scarles.
Prediction: 1-2 Spurs (Muani, Kudus;  Bowen for us)

Unless Soucek cup top. Can't be any worse than that German lump

[threesixty]

At least he's stayed with a back 4. Not massively convinced that JWP or Soucek can control our midfield well enough, even with Fernandes. 

Just feels like there's going to be huge WTF when the new French kid eventually replaces JWP. Its going to be embarrassing how much better it will be with two more mobile and creative CM's.

I also sort of understand that we cant rely on Wilson considering his injury record.
But starting any match without a genuine no.9 always looks like you're taking the piss to me.

But who knows what's going to happen today... I have no idea!

[violator]

Surely, fucking surely he must recognise that soucek and jwp together is asking for trouble 

[Metroplex]

Wilson on the bench yet again, you cock piss cսnt!

[goose]

Has Potter got some kind of self harm obsession?
no strikers at home to your local rival, way to kill any momentum Graham son.

[twoleftfeet]

He doesn’t help himself!

I’d have had Wilson for Fullkrug and Jimmy for JWP.

Oh well it is what it is.

[Alfs]

I'm not sure if Wilson could last 90 so I see the logic.  Though I'd rather him play Marshall - but he's not even on the bench.

[Vexed]

Another day, another shit fucking lineup. 

[Ron Eff]

Why has gone no natural centre forward despite Wilson looking sharp. Nobody wanted him to sign but he’s the best available right now so play him. Odd bloke. 

[Alfs]

I take that back...

[Gank]

Hope hee starts the same side with Wilson instead of the German upfront. German on the bench

With Fullkrug unavailable, our third choice striker has to be Marshall, not someone playing out of their best position, so he should be on the bench and given Wilson is an old crock, he should be ready to come on when Wilson has done his beans. Hopefully after a goal and an assist so he can warrant starting the next match as well.

[Alfs]

The German is injured, so doubt he'll be on the bench.

[Keep dreaming]

5 3 1 - Loss
4 5 1 - Draw

Still tickets on general sale!

We can’t even sell out our biggest game of the season, what a joke of a club we are.

 Yes I’m surprised you haven’t sold all the Villarreal tickets, we would have sold out weeks ago. 

[Steady]

That tells you Spurs aren’t a big pull, more their cup final than ours as I’m sure you’ll agree. Same goes for Spurs, their biggest game in years vs Villarreal in Champions league Tuesday and it isn’t sold out either, general sale which is embarrassing !!

[ragingbull]

I was still getting texts for the match last night.
This is normally a sellout, has everyone gone to the Tommy march instead ?

[Ron Eff]

Must be people in our team that know the buttons to push on Kudus. Not like he doesn’t have history of losing his head. 

Other that that, I’d love someone to put in a good old fashioned reducer, early enough that it might be let go from a yellow card, that leaves him hobbling about and goes off injured. 

Or just keep him on his right foot. 

[ragingbull]

I'm going for a draw,and somebody get those foot stools with collapsible legs just in case.

[GBHammer63]

We have every chance of winning this depending on team selection, Potter has almost everyone available and should be brave, but based on his previous selections I fear he’ll put out more of a sows ear than the potential silk purse. Hard to call, hopefully 2-1⚒

[Fauxstralian]

Magassa hits Kudus with a perfectly timed tackle that fractures his leg in 6 places
Kudus lashes out from a sitting position & is sent off
Carried off for an early bath on a stretcher
With his leg carried off on his Elephant stool

[wanstead_hammer]

We’ll do Marty Feldman and the front wheels 4-1 today.
Diouf to get one of the goals (for us)

C’Mon West Ham!
