    Thought there were some decent periods of play too, quick link up play, movement off the ball, one-two touch passing. Didn't always result in a chance or shot, but got us in to the byline on several occasions. I counted Antonio, Zabaleta, Arnie, Snodgrass all getting into a position to pull it back or across goal on at least two occasions each. Masuaku I think has had an impressive pre-season. Rice looks an imposing DM & we may well need Antonio to start at Anfield if Yarmo is carrying a knock which Pelle seems to imply. Goal we let in was slightly disappointing again as it was too easy for him to control that cross & swivel, but we were unlucky with the deflection. No injuries from what I could see either. Players also seemed to have a decent mentality during the game. A lot of annoyed faces when we conceded. Always nice to win a pre-season cup too. Better to win than lose. Hopefully one last decent performance & result on Friday with no knocks & then a good week before Liverpool.

    Some quality reporting from Sky apparantely we drew 0-0 with Mainz and then lost 7-6 on penalties :-1:

    ;lol The headline is at odds with the actual match report it is attached to. ;doh

    Nothing unusual there then!

    They probably just assumed the Germans won on penalties? ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Hey! We don't lose on penalties anymore.

    The way Adrian goes about pens I'd make him our cup goalie just so we can park the bus and beat the lot on pens.

    Is it here yet? ;puzzled

    Felipe Anderson and Aaron Cresswell are set to feature after being passed fit to play. Chicharito is also in full training and could feature for the first time in pre-season.

    Lukasz Fabianski is set to be given a second start in goal, having made his debut at Ipswich Town on Saturday.

    Andriy Yarmolenko will again be rested as a precaution but should be fit for the start of the Premier League season a week on Sunday at Liverpool.

    Just a reminder that this evening's game kicks off at 5.30pm, by the time I found the last game it was nearly over.

    Thanks Buffy - do we know if there will be a stream yet ?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Club on its preview says it will be streamed on their official FB page for UK and NI residents. For the rest of us, we'll have to hunt down a stream - but the likelihood is that as it is being broadcast, there will be one somewhere.

    sadly I will miss the match tonight but I wondered if anyone knows if it is possible to record it or see a full playback.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    Most of the pre season games have been available later, and some in full

    Possibly on West Ham's Facebook page. As Expat says, other games have been made available to watch again.
  • BarneyBarney
    thanks Ex Pat and Mrs Grey. Fingers crossed I can find it later.

    Finish work > rush home > watch pre-season game > eat at half time > full time > work out.

    Interesting to see how Chicarito fits in in that line-up.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I'm going to guess Chicharito up front with Arnie behind him flanked by Anderson and Antonio. As in 4-2-3-. Perhaps a little rotation between the two of them periodically? Or some rotisserie as I fancy some chicken ;hmm

    So, we're gonna play a 4-2-3-, we're only playing with 10 then ;wink

    Guessing you missed a "1" at the end ;lol
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    According to the OS he's going 4-4-2
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Moving the ball nicely but still looking defensively suspect we really do need that DM / CDM

    Well it's pre-season. I didnt know we had to play 11 all the time ;puzzled

    Anderson with his first bit of skill skinning both midfielder and fullback need more of that from him.
