Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
One of these five.
West Ham know their first-round opponents will be one of Qabala FK (Azerbaijan), KF Renova (Macedonia), FC Lusitans (Andorra), Newtown (Wales) or FK Olimpic Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina).

First leg now at Upton Park

The games have been switched so the first leg is now at Upton Park on 2 July. This is because another Andorran side has also been drawn at home on that date.

I would be very surprised to see Oxford ahead of Burke and Henry at this moment in time.

Based on that, and the possibility of them registering Randolph the team will potentially be the following then?

----------------Randolph----------------
--O'Brien---Oxford---Tomkins---Page--
----------------------Poyet----------------------
--Amalfitano------Cullen----------Jarvis--
----------------Sakho------Lee----------------

Poyet needs to step it up based on last season. He had a few chances and for me on he whole didn't take them.

Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
I watched the limited minutes he got with Uruguay at the U20 WC and he looked very slow and sluggish to me. Hope he picks it up this season, gets a chance and takes it by the scruff of the neck. His opportunities look limited though with the amount of interest we have in players that can play in there like Song and maybe even Cabaye plus we already have Kouyate, Noble and Obiang

Agreed Woody, feels like another new signing

Plays very deep and a bit too safe when i have seen him but could definitely grow into a good holding midfielder for me

Looking forward to seeing Poyet - looked like a class act when ever I saw him.

I guess that is kind of what I meant. They would not be training fully if still really injured but more in need of match fitness than others.

Sakho and Tomkins were both injury free at the end of the season.

They are there to play because we need some first team quality and experience and they were picked because they had a long lay off at the end of last season.

Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
Evaluation time for the likes of Jarvis, Amalfitano and O'Brien.

Sakho and Tomkins just there (training) for injuries' sake?

NEVER SAY DIE 12:49 Mon Jun 29
Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
Just watched Westley's interview and has he basically gave away the team

Said it'll be a big crowd so they'll want to see Sakho, Jarvis, Amalfitano, O'Brien, Tomkins and some of the young players like Oxford, Poyet, Cullen, Page and Lee.

Hmmm

whufcroe 12:39 Mon Jun 29
Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
I can only think the team will be.....

Randolf
O'Brien - Burke - Tomkins - Page
Amaltiano - Cullen - Poyet - Jarvis
Lee - Sakho

Zarate was back a bit later but maybe depending on his fitness start instead of Lee and play in behind Sakho

Whatever happens they need to win by at least 5 or 6 because it's not ideal to have first team players travelling out to play on the plastic

Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
Should have a more than decent attacking and defensive line...centre midfield is where we might look a little shaky/lacking experience.

Poyet and one other assumedly, unless he throws O'Brien in there alongside Poyet.

Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
Still be a strong team looking at whose at Cork.

NEVER SAY DIE 12:17 Mon Jun 29
Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
So it's basically an 11 from this lot

Randolph
Spiegel
Howes

O'Brien
Knoyle
Page
Tomkins
Burke
Henry
Oxford

Cullen
Makasi
Nasha
Poyet
Mavilla
Jarvis
Amalfitano

Sakho
Lee
Zarate
Parfitt-Williams (not sure he's there cos he was in Hong Kong with the U21's and they seem to be returning today)

Right. Well that's a lot of fuss over nothing then.

Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
According to Ken Dyer, the ones training in Cork will return to prepare for the game on Thursday whilst the other players that reported for training today will swap and go to Cork tomorrow to continue their pre-season. More or less confirms what everyone thought that the team for this first tie will consist only of the players that began their training last week.

Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
I don't believe Obiang is in the squad, as you can't register a player who isn't yours.

I think the UEFA site has just taken the information from West Ham and that isn't the squad.

As far as I know you don't have to register the B list until the day before the game.

seth 12:06 Mon Jun 29
Re: Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
croe: OK - did not realise that. Thanks.

So Randolph will be added in?

Why is Obiang named in the squad then if he's not registered with us 'til the 1st?

For whatever reason he is not in the final squad either.
