That's probably the best we could expect Dr Matt. But we all know he'll play Bowen instead of Kudus and stick with Antonio up top.

Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

i mean what kind of retard would suggest that?

Dry your panties.

Kudus will start.

Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
I fully expect and hope we start with our best side in our hardest group game, to expect to be turning over teams at this level with our reserves is a little bit too arrogant, the sort of thing you'd expect from clubs not taking this competition seriously enough and overrating their abilities. They dont look like an amazing side, but they're solid and at home and will see a result against as their ticket to the next round, they'll be playing their best side for sure.

Soucek is a shoo-in for this one, has been decent this season - Freiburg are great from set pieces so his height will be useful as well as offensively where Freiburg dont look the biggest team he'll trouble them in their box from JWPs magical deliveries. Plus three fucking goals this season already. Bowen is in the form of his life, undroppable, Alverez is experienced and possibly our best player now and Paqueta is still Paqueta even if Moyes insists on wasting him out on the left. I dont see where Kudus gets in, he's certainly given the squad a kick up the arse albeit a fucking expensive one.

Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
I’d like to see
Fabianski
Kehrer Mavropanos Aguerd Emerson
Álvarez Paqueta
Kudus Fornals JWP
Bowen
Would be confident of a win.

BRANDED 2:10 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
I recon we’ll have a huge eye on the Newcastle game so will play out a dull defensive for the half and add a little flair for the win.

Justin P 2:32 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
Rest Zouma, Areola, Coufal, Bowen, Soucek, JWP and Antonio for Newcastle

My team to start would be:

Fab
Kehrer Dinos Aguerd Emerson
Alverez Paq
Kudus Fornals benny
Ings

Minutes for Cornet, Divin and Johnson

Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
Would not surprise me if he only changed Fabianski and maybe Kudus.

I know we've got a game on Sunday but after that an international break (for some) where we can manage the teams fitness and recovery.

RM10 2:49 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
I wouldn’t have Ings in my squad, might aswell put Calum marshall in.

the exile 2:53 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
Moyes tends to do something a bit different in these games so I reckon he'll start with Antonio on the bench and Kudus up front or as a false 9. Apart from that maybe just a bit of tinkering, like Kehrer in for Coufal.

the exile 2:55 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
... and Dinos for Zouma.

I cant see him starting with no centre forward. Even Moyes isnt that negative. All the faves will surely play.

El Scorchio 3:17 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
It'll be the same starting line up from Saturday aside from Fab for Areola, assuming no injuries. Or at least that's what it SHOULD be.

The players are are well rested, this is a must win game. It would be mad not to do that.

Just imagine the buzz that Marshall would get travelling with the squad to Germany whereas Ings could spend some more time pumping iron at home.. everyones happy.

Grumpster 3:53 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
Only the 2nd game of the group and against the main rivals to win it, of course he's gonna play our best team.

Grifo is excellent on his day and theyre not a bad unit, but we should still have too much for them if we turn up.

Norflundon 5:28 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
My team not what I expect him to pick

——————fab
Coufal—dinos—Zouma—Emerson
—————-Alvarez
————Paq——JWP
Bowen—-Antonio———kudus


Doubt he’ll go that attacking but I watched their game Sunday they were awful win this and we’d be well on our way to winning the group and further into the season when players are tired we may be able rest players like last time

the exile 6:12 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
Vexed - you're probably right, but I just have a hunch he's going to pull one or two surprises. I called the team for Topola exactly right but I have no idea what he's going to do for this one.

LeroysBoots 6:29 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
With Norf, they are a poor team, I watch at the weekend also

We need to go to the game to win it, but Moyes is super cautious so expect a respect the point team

Vexed 6:41 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
To be fair if they watched the second half against Sheff Utd they'll think we're shit. They aint shit, they're nothing special though, playing people out of position aint the answer. If you think Soucek aint playing you're fuckin dreaming!

Mex Martillo 6:55 Tue Oct 3
Re: ⚽ SC Freiburg v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview
I think Moyes will rest a few and still win.
Thing that troubles me is Antonio is an obvious player to rest, but what are the other options? Moyes won’t play Mubama, Bowen could do with a rest, Ings is pretty useless, but I think that’s who it’ll be.

Fabianski
Coufal Mavropanos Aguerd Cresswell
Soucek Alvarez
Kudus Paqueta Fornals
Ings
