Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2022 Wish we went for the profile of player West Ham do. The size of their squad is huge, who’ve they signed this season? Kehrer, Paqueta, Scamacca- all big 6footers. Now going for 6”5 Hans Vanaken. Its a clear tactic to have units to bully teams and it works in the Prem. How we havent addressed this in 3/4 years is limiting us in these sort of games. Its often a game of margins, set pieces, all those old clichés; and its true. We have watched West Ham beat us consistently the last couple of years- even that game we absolutely dominated them we ended up losing because we couldnt finish our dinner and they lump 2 balls into the box for 2 headers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a different perspective: if their tactic is bullying it hasn’t really worked lately. Since Christmas their PPG is as bad as ours. So it’s definitely not impossible to deal with them just because they’re big. Other teams, more tactically drilled, have won against them easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win is needed so time for the diamond again but with Bailey/Watkins for pace against WH. Luiz rewarded for cheeky goal last time but is first to get subbed. Konsa back in since Chambers actually set a foot wrong against Bolton.

He will guarantee the opposition a goal. As much as I would love to see Luiz play but Gerrard is too stubborn and will most likely carry on with Ramsey and McGinn in midfielder!

Must win game considering we then go into back to back games against City/Arsenal. Anything less than 3 points against a team at home with the worst form in the league would be unacceptable.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted August 27, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think if we lose tomorrow, the club will start the workings on replacing him unless he pulls out a miracle against Arsenal or Man City. I don't think we'd replace him before those games as in many ways, it's better to let the outgoing manager take the flak and give the new man a chance at a decent start. If we lose tomorrow it's hard to see us not having three points from six games to start a season that was full of high hopes. it's an enormous game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasterpocket68 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I despair at some of the content of this thread . Just hope the mood don’t find it’s way into VP tomorrow, and make the atmosphere even more toxic than usual.

John Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 West Ham are rock bottom of the table, they are pointless and goalless, from their three games to date. The same could be the case on Sunday night with Villa in the top half of the league. Just saying.... We do owe them one! On "Knees Up Mother Brown" despite their current league form, only a couple of people mention the prospect of a draw and just one a defeat. They hang on to last season's result and expect an easy win. Comments include: "Scamacca an unknown quantity in the league so let's unleash him against a team like Villa that Palace just scored three against." "Another team I have a (somewhat) irrational dislike for - I just hope we beat them easily, and I feel like we will." "I bloody hate Villa." "think its time to finish Tyrone Mings villa career with a scammacca hat trick". Let's stuff those comments back down their throats tomorrow, lets see Moyes whinging once again after the game and win this one for Zouma's cats!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
