West Ham (a) Build Up

[gratziani]

Change the formation and hoodwink the bubbling ****s with bent landlords

Firmi up top , bring Lallana in midfield

Give mad Albert the left hand side to storm up and down with pace , lets bamboozle ourselves let alone them

[wiw]

I'm going to this. Sat in the West Ham end, going with my boss who is an Everton fan. Not entirely sure what to do if/when we score to be honest

Keep your gob shut!

Been in the Bobby Moore stand at the old ground twice. ****ing scary being in there when you're a scouser!

So I'd be tempted to play it down.

Ok, noted. A silent fist clench maybe, nothing more.

Silent fist clench is okay, just try and look slightly angry and/or disappointed while doing it!

This game is incredibly important now that Arsenal seems to be getting points and realistically only have Stoke away to drop points in. And that's a game they could easily win as well. We really need to get this tied up and winning against West Ham would put us in a fantastic position.

We can't hope that Sunderland or Everton will take anything from them tbh.

West Ham is a difficult side to figure out, but we really need to deliver more than we have recently to win it. It's doable but we need to raise our game.

I think we are going to miss out on goal difference.

Moyes won't be arsed so that 4 or 5 goals

ditto Everton

So we are relying on Stoke & they could easily ship another 3 or 4

We can't miss out on goal difference to Arsenal unless they draw a game

[DeeTheDog]

We need a goal threat and Sturridge is that, plus he is looking to impress for next season wherever he may be. It's a huge game for the club. I'm in the states and will be ****ing travelling I think gutted i'm missing it.

Most likely West Ham too. He'll want to put on a good show for his potential new team.

Yep plus the two teams chasing us are relying on us dropping more points than they do in order to catch us so is in our hands.


If our players cannot get motivated for two games and really give it a right go, then it will speak volumes about them and how they would respond in a real title race or similar.

dreading this game - this squad and I include klopp in this, have been found wanting every time it's mattered - we have to go there and go for it and I just can't see it.

As others have said - we have to make changes and try something to try and get the three points, but I just can't see us making changes unless of course they are forced upon us through injury.

I'm praying Stoke put up a fight against arsenal and snatch a point and spurs beat united. -

Starting to believe the only way we get top 4 is by Arsenal messing up.

Cant see us winning 2 games

[McDermotX]

Aye......That was the biggest fear of the weekend's games and why the draw between Arsenal and ManU would have been more preferable than the Arsenal win.
They are just more likely to win all their games on a run-in coming from behind than either ManU or ourselves, and last night was a big result for them.

That said, we know what we have to do and at some point that's got to twig with the players and manager.

Think we'll still be OK though, but won't be banking on picking up 6pts.

yeah I feel the same - west ham away, just can't see us winning there - especially having scraped through our last 3 away games with wins - I can't see us scraping through a 4th away win 1-0 or something.
