    Ginge is available for the Palace game, according to the OS ;hmm

    ;ok Posted yesterday on 'injury' thread

    He and Reece Oxford both got some match time ;thumbsup

    Dunno about the yellow, though. ;biggrin


    Oh, and Ginge is training with the 1st team again. Says the FA Cup game came just a bit to soon for him to be ready to play.


    He hasn't has ANY match time, though, since his injury. So won't have much more than... what... 45 mins in him? Bench, imo.

    Ginge doesn't need match time. He just needs to stick his fluorescent head in the way of things.

    OutcastLondoner fluorescent head ;lol

    Sorry Bad feeling about this game point will do me ..

    Big sam would have studied all our weaknesses and Nordviet at RB is the biggest weakness we have ..

    Surely any manager worthy of managing a Premiership team studies their opponents' weaknesses? Yet we have still won a few games while fielding those weaknesses. Right?

    But lost a lot more

    Well, Sam may have been studying the weaknesses of his opponents, but he's not actually playing.

    Meanwhile the players, with the benefit of all his insights, haven't won a game since he took over.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    If he's not playing?

    And in other news, Antonio is ill (didn't train today, has a fever).

    Adam, from the Graudian:
    Bilic also said Payet is refusing to play for the club against Crystal Palace this weekend.
    ;angry
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    This is a good opportunity for the fans and players that actually want to be here come together. I don't want Payet anywhere near the team now. I mean, what kind of atmosphere would that create.

    Antonio will hopefully be ok, but he is a bigger miss than Payet.
  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    This is a chance for the players who do want play to lay down a marker that shows that West Ham is not a one man team and that no one is irreplaceable.
    Needs everyone to put in 110% effort and Slav needs to pick his team very carefully because as Brookings said on another thread the problem with Bilic he puts square pegs in round holes too many times.

    It's ok that Antonio might not be available, I read on here that we won't miss him so it's all good.

    ;hmm

    Not really necessary tbh but fair enough.
  • alderzalderz
    Maybe I should have added ;run on the end

    The Payet discussion had spread across threads, so I've tried to consolidate all the Payet-specific comments on his own, and retain here only those that are linked with the match line-up.

    Let me know if one of your comments has gone astray, and I'll fix it.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    With that bombshell I guess its going to be

    Randolph
    Nordtveit Reid Oggy Cress
    Noble Obiang
    Fernandes Lanzini Antonio
    Carroll

    Adrian Byram Oxford Feghouli Quina Fletcher Calleri

    I had one disappear, but I had just heard about the Payet thing and assumed I had inadvertently sworn.................. ;biggrin

    Might be worth putting Martinez on the bench for this one . I am hoping the furore will mean the team pull together and we get a win . I am definitely going to the pub beforehand now ;cider
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Antonio is ill as well

    Big Sam is going to love this

    Need to get Lanzini in as the playmaker now he's the future
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Give Antonio some night nurse he will be fine ;whistle
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    I wonder if we have a recall option on Samuelson ;hmm

    For me Lanzini is now the main man that we look to build our football around.

    Play him as CM / AM in the middle of the pitch with Pace on either side.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Let’s try the diamond:

    Randy
    Nordtveit Reid Ogbonna Cresswell
    Obiang
    Noble Fernandes
    Lanzini
    Carroll Antonio
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Randy
    Byram, Reid, Collins, Cresswell
    Obiang, Noble, Oxford
    Browne, Lanzini
    Carroll

    Subs:
    Adrian, Ogbonna, Nordtveit, Fernandes, Quina, Fletcher, Martinez

    Get the heart back into the team.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Randy
    Nordtveit - Reid - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    -- Noble - Obiang -- Lanzini --
    - Feghouli - Carroll - Antonio

    Sub: Adrian, Collins, Oxford, Arbeloa, Fernandes, Martinez, Fletcher

    Bit of a weak bench but feel Fernandes isn't physical enough for this game but if Antonio is ill and our he should come in and would like to see Browne to come in

    The Payet thing was that gonna help a all but would've liked to have Kouyate and Ayew available to make up for his loss
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    The only physical players in your team are Reid, Ogbonna, Obiang and Carroll so not sure how Fernandes is considered lightweight. ;hmm
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Luckily for us Feghouli is not considered good enough to make Algeria's ACON squad ;lol
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    ;hmm

    Well he's been injured for most of the season so not altogether surprising.
