Swansea City 4-1 West Ham Utd (03/03/18)

[BostonHammer]

We are more than capable of tripping over our feet and f**king this right up. Pull Cresswell and Evra out of there and replace with Rice and Antonio, pull Mario and replace with Hernandez, then f**k them up

Oh but if only Moyesy had your sense of logic Jumby...

[Clucking Bell]

For me, Zabaleta only gets a game if Byram is suspended or injured as I quite fancy a Byram/Antonio pairing on the right.

Evra doesn't get a game if we have another eleven fit players. I'd give Joe Hart a go at left back before playing Evra again and I really don't care what leadership qualities he brings to the team.

Mario also needs to get his finger out if he expects to play again too. He was the best player on the pitch in his first couple of games and has been getting steadily worse ever since.

I'd go with ...

-------------------- Adrian -------------------------
--------- Ginge ---- Oggy ----- Rice -----------
--- Byram ------------------------- Cresswell ---
-------------- Noble ------- Kouyate -------------
------ Antonio ------------------ Lanzini ---------
-------------------- Arnie ---------------------------

Once Antonio has done his 'sixty minutes and ****ed' routine, then bring on Chicha to finish them off.

How many games has this guy played?

Why do we write players off if they have a bad couple of games.

A few on here done this with Arnie.

[The Old Man of Storr]

If we are to get anything out of our few remaining games then Antonio , Arnautovic , Hernandez , Noble and Lanzini have to start every match .

[Gerblatz]

As we enter a phase of 3 games that will probably decide our mood on the last day of this miserable campaign, I think we need to be bold and gutsy and go for the win against these.

We can’t do anything but go for the win...playing for draws is a precarious strategy...play for the win and a draw becomes a satisfactory result. We have grabbed too many defeats from the jaws of negative tactics and I don’t see Moyes making that mistake with such an important game.

Swansea are playing for their lives, will know we present a good chance of a victory and will go for it at home...they have to and that is where our opportunity knocks. 2-2 draw

[rsnwhu]

So whi is their best player ? Take him out of the game.

He has only played four games for us. And you just said for the first couple of them he was our best player.

[BorderTownHammer]

--------------- Adrian --------------
Zaba Reid Ogbonna Cresswell
----- Noble Kouyate Antonio------
-------------- Lanzini ---------------
---- Arnautovic Hernandez ----

Antonio would have to put in a shift box to box though, and he can. Hernandez cant keep being left out with the momentum behind him. Get Mario in for Lanzini around 60 and Hernandez out at 60 for defensive subs if we are up around then too.

[Paddy O'Hammer]

So much at stake
Swansea now an unknown variable
We need to to bounce back
So do they
We have the talent and the squad
We have a great record against them
They have an ex Hammer

Can I just say that I have no idea how this match is going to go?

[Patito]

Probably Jordan Ayew at the minute. Finally found his shooting boots.

[Major]

When Andre score

It will be the very essence of whats wrong with West Ham United,run by buffoons. That could possibly turn out to be the worst piece of transfer business since we swapped Martin Peters for a pissed Jimmy Greaves.

Selling a striker to a relegation rival! it beggars belief, they deserve everything they get, unfortunately the poor sods who travel to Wales don't.

West Ham United laughing stock of football..

Swansea 0 West Ham United 4 . [ Andy Carroll 4 ]

I know how much you love my high scoring predictions , Paddy .

[Belchio]

Ayew wasnt sold FFS!

We just cancelled the money we effectively owed Swansea when we purchased him.

Thats how strapped for cash we are.

[HAH]

Which are the best places for a pre-match pint among fellow Hammers.

TGI Fridays or Nandos are favourite I think, thats not aimed at you mate but the reality is. Its all the same as West Hams Lego land. Full of shoppers

[zuggs4]

Swansea play tonight in the FA Cup, hopefully the few extra days prep will give us the edge.

----------------------Lanzini--------------------------------

---Arnie------------------------------------Antonio-------

-------------------Hernandez-----------------------------

I'm worried about Zab getting done by Olsson's pace and the lack of a specialist DM (cheers Sully). They play 3 at the back with WBs: which as we should know all too well, the way to attack that formations is to exploit the space behind the WBs and drag the CBs into the channels where they don't want to be.

good lineup

[johnnyb]

Let's hope they pick up a few injuries this evening. Extra time too although the odds are that they will beat Wednesday quite comfortably.
