    There's no way Carroll is starting today after playing 90 mins on Wednesday

    My biggest fear today is Zaha, his diving antics and the ref Bobby Madley

    Mine too, shocking ref and Zaha diving - fearing the worst there

    Unfortunalty think we will lose this one. Hope I'm wrong but just have a bad feeling.

    If you don't have a bad feeling about west Ham against a team in the bottom 3 are you even a west ham fan
  • LukerzLukerz
    Hart starts according to twitter. Midfield is same as Spurs (Fernandes, Noble, Lanzini).

    Harsh on Adrian and Byram in particular, a little on Rice. Hope you’ve made the right choices Slav as I want you to stay but mine would have been different.
  • LukerzLukerz
    So it’s gonna be:

    Hart
    Kouyate - Reid - Ogbonna
    Zabaleta - Noble - Fernandes - Lanzini - Cresswell
    Ayew - Carroll/Chicharito
  • LukerzLukerz
    Scrap that

    Rice starts apparently
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Reid injured so Rice promoted to the bench, according to Ex ;hmm
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Fonte, Kouyate, Ogbonna? ;hmm

    Good to see all the early info is as accurate as always.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    And we do the usual pre match injury thing ;doh ;scarf

    Reid crocked again

    What the hell. Does he ever stay fit?
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Not sure how about the rumoured team

    Think Hernandez should start over Carroll and while I was impressed with Fernandes we are still very light in the middle

    Is that 4 at the back again?

    ;doh he just doesn't learn...

    Could be either a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2. Interesting to see how it shapes up. Ridiculous bench!

    Kouyate centre back with Fonte and Ogbonna
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    I'm not sure any of us would have picked the same 11 to start...
    Let the Hammers prevail... ;scarf

    I'm a bit late to the party here as the team is already known but I was going for:

    --------Adrian--------
    Zab--Fonte--Reid--Cress
    -----Noble--Kouyate-----
    --Ayew--Lanzini--Arnie--
    -------Chicharito------

    Hart, Byram, Oggy, Masuaku, Obiang, Antonio, Carroll

    I still believe 4231 is our best formation. Yes we played superbly with the three at the back second half against Spurs. We also played really poorly with three at the back first half against Spurs. Ultimately formation isn't our issue, it's our levels of determination, belief, drive, and heart. When we have those ticking we can fly.

    Would have liked Adrian to start, not that Hart has done much wrong though really. Ayew deserves his spot. Fonte and Reid have been pretty good this season IMO, it's the midfield that have let them down. Didn't really want to start Arnie, but I believe this is our best formation, we have a lack of wingers, Ant is clearly playing with an injury, and I feel he's due a class game - could be today. Byram unlucky to lose his place, but Zab is the better RB especially if he comes against Zaha/Townsend.

    Have to disagree. 3 at the back has suited us best over the past 12 months. We have 4 decent wing backs and it makes it easier to lay Lanzini behind a front 2.

    Time to step up boys. Need the three points ;scarf
