couldnt agree more Libero.
For me, unless we take a chance and change formation on Saturday, we will struggle. We are the perfect team for a SA team to play against

Big Sam will love it Kevin Keegan styley if he can turn us over on Saturday. I would not be surprised in the least if he bangs another nail in Slav's coffin, maybe even the final one,

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
Agree 100% Play with 2 if AC starts otherwise pace uptop (Fletcher/Antonio) I like the idea of 4-3-3 at home or 4-2-3-1NorthBank86 wrote: As I've posted many times before; Carroll is immobile, slow, does not run the channels and enables the opposition to camp high up the pitch. His strength in the air is not in doubt, and should therefore be used in a pair, or as an impact sub.

Would like to hear reviews of how they managed this fairly successfully at the Olympics, if anyone attended the evening sessions in 2012?

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
Shall be going on Saturday despite the unrest. The team on the pitch still represent West Ham so I've got to support them.
Would like to see us actually attack the game & we all know that Sam will try to look to soak pressure and hit on the break with Townsend, Puncheon etc.
For me, I thought we played out best football when Carroll come off the bench last season. When Carroll is playing, we only have one game plan which hasn't really worked bar Swansea. I'd go with Antonio up top running the channels and try to get Lanzini/Payet/Obiang dictating in the midfield. I don't rate Ledley & Cabaye is losing his legs so can see the midfield battle being key.
3 points are needed so even a last minute deflection off Oggy's arse will do.
Oh and the chicken balti pies are pretty good too.

Randolph
Nordtveit Reid Ogbonna Cresswell
Obiang Lanzini
Feghouli Payet Antonio

Don't think Oxford and Byram are fully fit but if they are then i'd put them in the team over Oggy/Nordt
what slav will put out
Randolph

Obiang Noble
Antonio Lanzini Payet

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
It's very difficult to be anything other than pessimistic about this game. I hate to be a harbinger of doom but a draw is as good as I reckon we'll get. Happy to be proved wrong but all is not well at the moment and I reckon the board are, sadly, ready and waiting to pull the trigger on Slav.

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
If we lose to Palace, which there is a 50/50 chance in my eyes and the scummy board end up sacking Bilic because of it, I am done with our club until these owners are gone.

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
I would go with something different and will probably get slated.
442 diamond
Randolph. (Would rather Adrian but we know thats a no now . )
Rb. Havard
Cb. Reid
Cb. Ogbonna
Lb. Cresswell
Cdm. Obiang
LCM. Noble
RCm. Antonio
Cam. Lanzii
LS. Carroll
Rs. Martinez
Drop Payet, don't like the attitude, plus Fat Sam won't expect us to bench him, his game plan all week will be Payet this Payet that, he wants to leave he won't be 100% target him West Ham lose.

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
Drop Payet, but play Noble? Noble has been poor all season, and although Payet hasn't been as good as last year, he is still much better than Noble. Plus, Noble cannot play in a left-sided midfielding position.Samo wrote:I would go with something different and will probably get slated.

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
Like I said Sam's tactics will be about neutralising Payet. Noble has been poor all season, no one is shining at the moment. But feel he would be better with a more advanced role. Plus he'd have cresswell to back up on the left. Nothing else is working try something different.

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
I know what you are saying, and agree that it is a weakness of ours. We've been winning games though, at home, this season.libero wrote:The big pitch and Slav's system leaves the sole striker completely isolated and easy to mark out of the game. Sam will bring Palace on Saturday knowing that stat and knowing exactly how to snuff out our attacking options.
Our attacking options are just as much Payet, Lanzini, Antonio, Feghouli.
Not much, but still enough to be able to win one nil

Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
Yeah must try anything, even dropping Payet, who has created more chances than anyone ekse in Europe this season and replace him with the ineffective Noble who has no left foot, no pace and passes sideways or backwards.Samo wrote: Nothing else is working try something different.
Re: West Ham United V Crystal Palace: Match thread
So we are advocating dropping Payet? On the strength of performances, I would have though Noble and Cresswell would have been more likely candidates. Really surprised that Cresswell doesn't get more barbs, he has been well below par this last few weeks.Samo wrote:Like I said Sam's tactics will be about neutralising Payet.
