West Ham Utd 1-2 Chelsea (06/03/17)

Post by thejackhammer »

Let's prove Man City was a blip and rain on the potential champions parade with a solid performance.

This has been moved to be on my birthday, a win would be the perfect present.

Need AC back for this one. I don't think their defence is the greatest. Need to do what Spurs did and hit diagonal balls to their back posts (plus put in a massive shift and give them zero time on the ball!)

Randolph
Fonte Kouyate Reid
Byram Noble Obiang Cresswell
Feghouli Ayew Lanzini

If Carroll is fit swap him with Ayew


Ill take a draw right now but i expect a good game and wouldnt be too disappointed with a loss as long as we put in a good shift

2-2

We've been caned about once a month this season, I'm hoping that's come to an end but I've hoped that a couple of times already.

The first thing I'll be looking for is not to concede four or five.

If there's one team I hate losing to, it's the Rent Boys. so come on you Irons ( :D ) 2-1 to us. And the start of Chelsea falling to pieces and NOT winning the title.

Randolph

kouyate, Fonte, Reid

Byram,Noble, Obiang, Lanzini, Creswell

Ayew,

Carroll.

subs, Adrian, Collins, Feghouli, Snodgrass, Calleri , Fernandes, Masuaku

we beat them in the league cup playing 3 at the back . as much as i think Feghouli is playing well , just for this match i would make a tactical change. I hope everyone agrees on here we cant play Kouyate at right back against chelsea. Ayew deserves a start after his impact when coming on a sub yesterday.

Of the big six we've only had Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City at home, all three beat us, two of them absolutely smashed us, sadly I don't see this being much different.

When a side of real quality ask us questions, this season, we've rarely had any answers.

Unfortunately this has the makings of another 4 or 5 goal tonking.

God, I hope I'm wrong.

I can only see another whipping from one of the top sides unfortunately. 4-0 chelsea

On the bright side, give chelsea points gives Spurs an even slimmer chance of winning the league

Or anyone else. He's not a right back and we shouldn't be playing players way out of position in top flight matches, it's stupid, naive and it has cost us for years.

Looking at what we've got available I'd match their formation and hope for the best. Antonio is going to be a huge miss. He's exactly the sort of player you need as an underdog

Really not looking forward to this. I can see us shipping another 4-5 goals and without Antonio we could be pretty toothless going forward.

Randolph
Kouyate Reid Fonte
Fernandes Noble Obiang Cresswell
Feghouli Carroll Lanzini

Trying to match them player for player.


Other than smashing Leicester away from home, they've drawn Burnley and Liverpool, lost to Tottenham and 1-0 wins against Burnley and Sunderland.

That to me says they're not invincible.

They're not amazing but obviously we aren't either, after we got robbed at the Bridge. I don't know why but I'm sure Ayew has a reasonable record against Chelsea or am I imagining it.

No tonking and be up for it for the full 90 mins. That - for a minimum will do!
