West Ham Utd 1-1 Crystal Palace (30/01/18)

[Jumby]

I just think a couple of very stern challenges early on might put a stop to him. As bad as it sounds, that is how I'd deal with him, near the middle of the pitch, where it's less of a risk, just get to him.

[17 years of hurt]

This might sound barbaric and old fashioned but, given what Zaha is like, why not take the wind out of his sails early on, if you get me?

Cos while other clubs are allowed to employ this tactic when playing us early on by referees to unsettle our players, we would no doubt receive an early red card.

[Blow Bubbles]

What the hell do we do if Noble, Collins and Ayew aren’t back available?!

[West Ham Matt]

We will lose 3-0/3-1

[szola]

I'd rather play Haskabanovic in the middle than let Martinez play.

We should set up to defend and cross our fingers that we don't conceed.

[Tenbury]

So no change there then...

[Puff Daddy]

We will lose 3-0/3-1

That's the spirit! Well, I'm gonna buck the trend here and go for a plucky and probably, lucky 2-1 Irons win to lift the gloom and lift the spirits. Don't ask me how we'll do it, but the they shall not pass, British stiff upper lip, Dunkirk spirit, we shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them in the **** house, we shall never surrender will bring us the 3 points

[Dieter Eckstein]

I'm dreading this one now. Given the lack of available players, we'll have no choice but to set up defensively. But if we try to play on the counter, it'll take us half an hour to get from one end of the pitch to the other, particularly with our only remaining pacy outlet now banned.

It's the sort of game it would have been handy to have Sakho available for. Such a shame the poor lad has been so unlucky with that poorly back of his.

[Beavis Danzig]

odds are with palace now. fairly embarrassing.

[HammerMan2004]

Antonio, Noble, Fonte, Kouyate could all be back.

[WorcesterWHU]

Joe Hart's quite tall and we're paying his wages. Stick him up front a-la-Sealey?

[Pob!]

Easy win win for the Nigel's.... 0-3

[rciron]

Can't see any other outcome than us being rolled by the Nigels

[Absolutely Hammered!]

We didn’t have a shot on target yesterday and I fear we might only better that stat by one or two. Without lanzini, once we get past the half way line we run out of ideas.

90 minutes of anti board songs please

[chigwells finest]

happily settle for a point atm,, cant see us getting anything from the game though, will probably bring back antonio too early again and he'll be knackered after 50 mins .

[Roby]

1-1 draw which keeps our momentum going but doesn't help us really as we need some wins quick as our final 6-7 games of the season look dangerous.

As always, Zaha and his diving makes him their key player.

Benteke has been terrible this season which makes him almost nailed on to score against us.

A Chicarito equaliser for us.

Getting this going at home is the next step. Happens regularly amongst the away lot.

[Billydinho]

The depressing thing is I'd take a point against sh*t like Palace.

F*ck you Sullivan.
