[kylay]

BAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

Stand up and take a bow, tater salad

[happygilmore]

POTTER!!!!!!

2 NIL !

[violator]

Get in, shut these pair of cunts up

[kylay]

And there's the gift goal I spoke of earlier in the thread

COYI!

[happygilmore]

Get in!!

[happygilmore]

it's damning that we spent all that money and ended up with such a such an old slow squad.

VAR..is the scorer offside?

[threesixty]

How many years do you have to be in the PL before you realise that stepping on the ball and holding off players doesnt really work over here?

Paq, Kudus,.. all the fucking time overplaying..
Potter have a word please!
 

[Takashi Miike]

I get you may not know the squad well yet, but to sacrifice any atacking principles and instead pack the team full of CMs is beyond moronic. we can't advance up the pitch, it's shit. forwards ten yards, sideways, back. repeat

[Mike Oxsaw]

Some of the passing decisions have been abysmal - almost always to someone under pressure.

[Mad Ferret]

This is fucking depressing.

[goose]

Few chickens coming home to roost here for steidten & Sullivan.

This is what happens when you manage a squad so poorly.

[Keep dreaming]

Fulham.press as a flock, we press to late one and one. Always to late.
Rodriguez, Alvarez and Soucek - og dear god

[kylay]

Obviously we are complete shit going forward. I fully expected that. Kudus is about the only one who can go forward with the ball. Paqueta can pick a pass but not when he's up top. I will say that at least they are not slicing right through our midfield with wave after wave. They've gotten through once or twice. Hoping it doesn't all go to pieces if they manage to get one though.

[Keep dreaming]

7 can see what Potter tries to implement.
But the players out there, and especially in midfield, are just to slow and lazy both on and off the ball.

We need more energy and urgency 

[zico]

Gotta stick Kudus up front, only one with any pace. Soler not looking comfortable at all on the left. Take Rodriguez off and stick Kudus top, Paqueta right, Soler middle and anyone on the left. I'd even put Scarles there!

[Hello Mrs. Jones]

How are they allowed to have four more players on the pitch than us?

[kylay]

Jimenez always looks like he's coming off day 4 of a cocaine bender

[Alfs]

Decent stream here - https://ovogoalz.com/ovoz-events/west-ham-vs-fulham/

[LeroysBoots]

At the game, nice to see the coaching teams drills are completely different

Back 4 are having specialist defensive training

Let's hope it works !

[goose]

My guess

back 3 of Mav, Killman and Alvarez.
wing backs AWB & Emerson 

midfield of Guido and Soucek 

Paqueta & Soler playing off Kudus.

[Takashi Miike]

Trying to understand this team in a Potter context...

Fabianski

Wan Bissaka. Mavropanos. Kilman

Soler. Rodriguez. Alvarez. Emerson

Kudus. Soucek

Paqueta

Could be something like that....or could he be using Soucek or Alvarez at Centre Back?

Fabianski

Alvarez Mavropanos Kilman 
Wan Bissaka Rodriguez Soucek Emerson
Soler Paqueta
Kudus

Going to be interesting to see how they line up on the field.

that first one hopefully, but with kudus as the most advanced player

[zico]

Maybe a 4132 or 41311. Thought maybe Kudus up front but he wouldn't put Soler out wide would he. Anyway not going to blame the manager when it's not his players.

[honky cat]

What the fuck is this midfield. I could make it up and down the pitch quicker and I've got the flu. Jesus, never easy with west ham.
