Sir Alf.

The problem is where do you play Kudus? It's clear to most of us I think that in Moyes formation anyway it's got to be a three of Alvarez Paqueta and Jwp. Not sure where Kudus played previously but seen it suggested it was on the right but he isn't going to displace Bowen there. That leaves on the left or up front instead of Antonio. Maybe up top would be the best place but you lose his dribbling skills if he is typically isolated.

I'd love to have been at the Sky planning committee for the matches on this Sunday. Who the hell thought that West Ham v Everton was going to provide excellent entertainment?!

Score early and we could do them 2 or 3-0. They’ll try to contain us and get the fans on the teams back, if that’s happens then we could be in for a thrilling 0-0 !!!!

Have already stuck a tenner on lukaku to score first.

They're starting to fight and we're starting to look like the shit team from last season, which is frustrating as we cealry have a talented squad.

Shame we've a negative jock in charge who holds the team back and continually plays players who he shouldn't.

I see anorher gutless display and a result to match, possibly a draw which Moyes will try to style out as a good result. He'll leave Kudus on the bench and play the usual suspects. Fuck off Moyes you cunt.

Manuel 9:52 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
So who will play at left back?

Vexed 10:17 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
Kehrer

So hard to know what to do with this team, there's so many players out of form, that it is a bit take your pick. For me, I'd concentrate on the balance of the team, and get our best player in a position where he can affect the game most, not stuck out on the left wing.

My team below when everyone is available. As Emerson is out, I'd play Benrahma purely through lack of options, but once Emerson is back, he can have that partnership he he has built up with Paqueta, just further up the pitch throughout the game, and give us cover going backwards.

Areola

Coufal --- Zouma --- Mavrapanos --- Aguerd

---------------- JWP ------ Alvarez -----------------

Kudus ---------- Paqueta ------------ Emerson

-------------------- Bowen ---------------------------

Aside from left back I’m sure we’ll be unchanged from Villa.
Kehreh will play left back and Paqueta will be hung out to dry on the left so the entire game is squeezed inside.

It’s not like we have a very talented left back in the youth team waiting to break through or anything.

Vexed 12:06 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
What sort of cunt spends 450m and still ends up with a squad with one centre forward he is willing to use, no viable back up left back, no proper left sided midfielder, but two really expensive right sided forwards one of which is left on the bench every game?

Moyes is a fucking imbecile.

Anyone that seriously thinks the line up will be different from every other league game, bar the suspension, needs to put the bottle down.

Pedro 12:24 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
Kudus Antonio. Bowen
Paqueta JWP
Alvarez
Kehrer. Aguerd Zouma Coufal


This team would win comfortably.

Pedro 12:25 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
I might put a keeper in

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
It’s difficult to find fault with Vexed’s logic.

It is remarkable that any other chairman in PL would find the lack of a back up striker for several seasons a worry rather than a benefit. Of course im not counting Danny Ings that we got from the bargain basement of Villa which might have told us something at the time…

Eerie Descent 1:11 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
Vexed is of course right, but that's nothing a few of us haven't been saying since the summer. And to be honest, it's been for a long time now, although I was adamant they'd sort it this summer.

It's only been 2 jammy results this season that further blinded people. The state of the team is fucking tragic, given the money spent over the last few years. Kudus looks like the latest £35mil+ player the manager doesn't know what to do with.

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
The lead story on the os is about Soucek and his exceptional form ffs with quotes from him saying how the players trust in our system.. Do fuck off.

lowlife 1:42 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
Just read that lead story on the OS. This quote took my eye;

"Different teams look to do different things in the Premier League. Sides like Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa and Newcastle United all play in different ways and with a different shape. But we trust ourselves and our system"

And that is why we are absolutely fucked with the current manager. Never tries anything different, and even when he does it's half hearted - so he then reverts to type immediately. Didn't he blame our very poor start last season on 'trying to do something different'?

No one was “blinded” by “jammy results”.
Some of us support the team when Moyesball works that’s all. It’s got us two top 7 finishes and a Europa Cup so clearly that’s not the problem.

What is the problem is Moyes inability to buy players to fit a system. The club have put Steidten in charge of that so as Moyes is here until summer I’ll just grin and bear it…

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
Oooh look at us, we predicted this would happen, we told you so.

Yep you’ve been predicting it for 4 years, 4 years when we’ve qualified for Europe 3 times and won a European competition.

Yes but it’s not a real European trophy.

Harder to win than the cup winners cup that we won in 1965 and still go on about.

Now wind your necks in and rejoice in what we have and when Moyes goes in the summer we can then start this all over again.

Manuel 3:41 Sat Oct 28
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Everton - Official Match Thread - Preview
Yes, we all want to see better football, but let's not start writing off the season just yet, ffs. We drew with Toon and yes lost in Greece, but it wasn't a damaging defeat, so it's only really been the Villa game that was unacceptable.

Win tomorrow and we're likely to be 7th after what 10 games and top of our table in the EL and still in the League Cup, so hardly shit. However, lose tomorrow and it ain't gonna be pretty.

By the way, as usual all the pundits continue to big up Moyes, had Defoe on earlier saying he likes what he's seen from us this season, said we look very focused and a big threat and said that Moyes doesn't get 'enough' credit. Fucks sake,
