Hammers build up (h)

[Fosterbloke]

Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Suarez, Sturridge

It's nice to have options up front now as we can rest/rotate Downing and Sterling.

I really like the look of this team. Looking forward to more incisive passing in the opposition third.

Totally agree... Think it's something we've lacked and I think hendo deserves to keep his place... Downing could be a good option from the bench... Sturridge needs to step it up though!!

Yeah Downing on for Sturridge after 60 odd mins won't be a surprise.

Yes, he's went a whole two games without scoring and his only excuse can be that he was injured. So that's two goals in his last 4 games, shocking.

And what about Suarez too, been a while since he's scored also, I think it's a massive 2 games. Step it up son.


Edit: Excuse the sarcasm, blame it on having to get up at this time on a Sunday for work. But I do think the recent judging of Sturridge by some has been harsh, even if he has looked a bit out of sorts.

Amazing what a crock of ****e article will do in terms of perception of a player, he's been excellent for us since signing bar a small dip whilst carrying an injury, but that's it.

Really exciting front 3 for me

Can any Irish lads tell me if this is on Setanta today? Might go down the pub if it is. Cheers.

I thought the article above criticising him was harsh, he has 5 goals in 9 games in his time here which is a good record, even better when you consider that he hasn't been fully fit. While some of his performances haven't been great, we need to remember that he is still settling into the club and it's not clear yet what his role in the team will be. (Will he lead the line ahead or Suarez, or play a wider role etc?) For me the criticism at this stage is out of order, give the guy a chance FFS.

Do they show other matches bar Sat 3 PM?

Either way, today's match isn't on, although Reading is on Setanta Ireland next week when I'm down. .

[Bender]

Luis Suarez has created 77 chances from open play this season; more than any other player in Europe's top five leagues

Toucan live stream it to your phone easy enough from the live soccer channel : just don't tell the Internet police ;;

"Carroll scored twice in a 3-1 win over West Brom last weekend and is likely to be replaced by Carlton Cole or Marouane Chamakh."

Ah ****, I'll have to take Andy out of my fantasy team now.

Normally I would say we should have made it a pre-requisite of the Loan that Andy does play against us as Carlton Cole is bound to be MOM. But then I wouldnt back our defense at the moment against any big lump!!
