It will have been 16 days since we saw what football at the top end of things could look like by Arsenal, who made us look second class citizens in footballing terms.

This game is unusual this season, in so far as the bookies have us down as favourites to win.  Monday nigth, under the lights....but how empty will the bowl be.  With a boycott planned, kids for a quid, general sale tickets up for cheap, and Nuno's first home game, the atmosphere and attendance is anyone's guess.

Injuries wise, our Big Fucking German is big fucking injured again...reducing the options up front to the two Callum's.  Nuno chose to save ~86k in wages last time out, preferring the pace and mobility of Marshall over Wilson, and it will be interesting to see if he does the same thing here, or goes for a 'makeshift' centreforward.  And of course Soucek is back.

Other than that, there are no fresh concerns reported going into the weekend.

Predicted Starting Lineup:

Areola

Wan Bissaka   Mavropanos    Kilman    Diouf

Magassa

Fernandes             Soucek       Paqueta       Summerville

Bowen (c)

Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Igor, Potts, Guilherme, Marshall, Rodriguez, Wilson, Scarles

Predicted Score: 1-0 (Soucek)

I don’t think the players have any faith in what we’re doing.

they appear to have just given up, just strolling to close people down.

 

 

Can we honestly blame them with this nutty line-up and Subs??

[Pub Bigot]

There’s very little about this team. Nuno’s decision making is straight away under the microscope based on his staring 11 and his half-time subs, but it’s also not his team. His first port of call is at least two new central defenders in January. 

This is the worst West Ham side since 2010/11. 

[Full Claret Jacket]

There have been no positives so far tonight.  We have absolute nothing about us.  Second best in every position against fellow relegation candidates.  We are the worst team in this league

 

 

Agree, an atrocious team. Mind you with the team that started it was no wonder we were dominated.  There are a few players trying but the quality as a side is shocking. None of these new players doing anything. I'd play a training cone in front of Kilman.

[Texas Iron]

Yet another inspired Manager selection by ur Part Time Chairman/DOF…

[honky cat]

Fucks sake not this cսnt

[El Scorchio]

This referee is a useless sack of shit. He has allowed them to rough up our players and blown the whistle for innocuous fouls. He's juzt as bent as his brother

 

 

This I absolutely agree with as well. Not that it really had made a difference to how the game has been going. 

[twoleftfeet]

How shit must Potts and Megassa be to see Rodriguez come on.

We”ve had the Spanish Moyes, the English Moyes and now the Portuguese Moyes. Should have just stuck with the original and best Moyes.

[Iron Duke]

Rodriguez now on. What the fuck?

[goose]

Any chance you can make the midfield even slower?

No problem……. 

[ragingbull]

Lol Wilson taking his boots off.

[Sir Alf]

What game do West Ham managers and cosches see? We have no legs in midfield and now Rodruiguez coming on. Unbelievable !

[Django]

This is a new low. Nuno must be drunk. Now Rodriguez!!! I feel like he is now taking the piss out of us. If this was potter fans would be losing their absolute shit

[Massive Attack]

What you playing at persistently ignoring our best out and out Prem Striker since rocking up, Nuno.....  

[kylay]

You know what would improve this game? Making our midfield slower.

[Helmut Shown]

This referee is a useless sack of shit. He has allowed them to rough up our players and blown the whistle for innocuous fouls. He's juzt as bent as his brother

[El Scorchio]

Now GUIDO coming on???

Is Nuno trying to get fired already? Genuine question. 

[threesixty]

Rodriguez???
nah… that’s mental. Surely not?
 

[Keep dreaming]

Sad to say but Henderson would walk straight into our team, taking the armband with him

[Nick QQQ2]

There have been no positives so far tonight.  We have absolute nothing about us.  Second best in every position against fellow relegation candidates.  We are the worst team in this league

[Sir Alf]

Second goal inevitable. How they are only 1 up gawd knows.  Absolutely zero positives

[El Scorchio]

We are being run absolutely ragged. Second to every single thing. It’s incredible that Soucek is basically the central midfield. 

Why does coming to West Ham seemingly send managers absolutely insane and bereft of logic and rational thinking?

[Iron Duke]

We are clearly the worse team in the league. 

[zico]

No shape at all. Looks like just Soucek in midfield. Jesus wept. May as well just take off kilman or todibo. Bring on Magassa and Wilson and go 442 can't be any worse.

[Tomshardware]

Only Summerville seems to be trying. 

[goose]

It’s pretty impressive being this shit.

playing without a midfield is a new one on me.
