Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Presuming Reid, Kouyate and O'Brien are out, and Lanzini, Tomkins and Sakho still aren't back, we're a bit thin on the ground. Plus, Valencia, Payet and a few others look in need of a rest.
Therefore, I'd go:
----------------------------------Adrian-----------------------------------
----------Byram--------Collins-----Ogbonna-----Cresswell-------
---------------------------Obiang-------Song---------------------------
----------Moses---------------------------------------Antonio----------
--------------------------Eminike--------Carroll-------------------------
Subs: Randolph, Oxford, Noble, Cullen, Payet, Valencia, Parfitt-Williams.
Obviously a risk resting a few players but you could see a few of them last night were dead on their feet, and this team is capable of getting a result.
Would be a massive boost if Kouyate recovers quickly, or Lanzini/Sakho could make the bench

Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Going to be tough this one after the Liverpool game. I suspect it will be a slow first half start & not a high pressing game from us. I think JOB will be fine for the game as he appeared to just go off with a bit of cramp, understandable considering the football he's played. Fingers crossed Kouyate is good for the game too, however I suspect Enner may sit this one out as he got battered. Reid & Tomkins are probably out too.
I'd go with a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3
Adrian
Cresswell
Ogbonna
Collins
Bryam
Obiang
Song
Payet
Moses
Antonio
Carroll
Bench:
Randolph
Oxford
O'Brien
Kouyate
Noble
Eneimke
Valencia

This is the type of game we are going to have to start winning, if we are to progress into a top team. Norwich is abysmal right now, specifically their defense, and the last thing we need to do is drop points to them.

Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
So were Swansea and Villa. And Norwich last time we played them. Keep it tight for 20 then ruin the buggers.
Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
0-0 at half time would do me then watch their nerve crack in the 2nd half..Just don't concede early in this one.
Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
not sure about resting payet, he is a professional he can play all those games, just pencil him in for an early subdodger wrote:Presuming Reid, Kouyate and O'Brien are out, and Lanzini, Tomkins and Sakho still aren't back, we're a bit thin on the ground.

however that said.. the team there even with payet, lanzini, sakho, kouyate, noble and reid not starting it looks a league apart from some of the teams we have had to put out over the years!
nice to have the depth

Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Because last night was such a brilliant evening I reckon in true West Ham style this will be a frustrating 1-0 defeat. But right now I am still buzzing after last night so don't really care...
Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Our players are going to be physically and mentally knackered after last night.
Add the injuries we've got too and I'd take a draw now.

Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Will be difficult to predict the starting line up due to injuries or fatigue. Adrian, Carroll, Bryam, Noble and Song to start IMO. Everyone else, who knows?

B*llocks. All charge from KO - tan-ta-ra . . . 3-nil by the half. With Antonio playing RB, RW and CF at the same time we'll have two extra players.Up the Junction wrote: Keep it tight for 20 then ruin the buggers.
And I offer sincere apologies to you for the profanity and the potential 1-nil loss with my new-age tactics

Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Is the correct answer - they're desperate for point - keep it tight at the back, boss the midfield and play one up front - AC or new boy - a draw would be a decent point baring in mind the injuries and recent schedule IMHOUp the Junction wrote:So were Swansea and Villa.

Re: Norwich City v West Ham Utd: match thread
Any good souls out there in the South Bucks/North Berks area (Wycombe, Maidenhead, Slough) willing and able to give me a lift to the Norwich game?
Bouts of insomnia meaning I can't always risk driving longer distances these days. Can get to you if fairly local. Obviously willing to pay fair share of costs.

Lanzini and Sakho likely to be available according to Ex WHU employee on Twitter I would guess from the bench.
Be interesting as it looked like a few where carrying knocks at the end last night.

---------------Collins-----------Ogbonna--------------
Byram----------------Oxford---------------Cresswell
Valencia------Kouyate---Payet------------Moses
--------------------------Carroll----------------------------
An attacking line up with rests for Antonio, Obiang, and Noble. I'm assuming Kouyate will be fit, and a fresh and eager pair of legs in Oxford at defensive midfield. Payet a little more central where I still prefer him, and Valencia on the right. He doesn't get much opportunity out there on the right, but when he does, I've noticed he's put in some good crosses. Something we've lacked this from that right hand side. Song could come on for Oxford if he looks like he's struggling.
