West Ham - Home - 19/11/2016

I really hope Poch sticks with the 3-5-2. It's attacking, with two up top and it really gets the best out of the wing backs.


Wimmer might start if Alderwiereld doesn't pass a late fitness test but the rest should be OK. The couple of scares on international duty appear to be just knocks that can be overcome.

Lloris

Dier - Alderwiereld - Vertonghen

Walker

Rose

---

Wanyama - Dembele

---

Eriksen

---

Kane - Janssen

Alderweireld won't feature. Talk of Wimmer possibly going back to Germany.

I hate seeing Dembele as a holding type player, he glides past the opposition, can counter into an attacking position in seconds. Wasted back there, let him maraude.

When did Eriksen last have a good game?

Really should be beating this shower, bar Payet, the rest are gash. Rancid club.

Few tins for this.

DubPerryman

I'd be disappointed if Wimmer leaves. He's a solid defender. He just needs a few starts to get his confidence up.

I don't think Dembele is holding that much in that formation. Sure look at the Arsenal game, he won the peno. Wanyama will be the only holding midfielder.

With Alli a doubt and Lamela out there is very little competition for Eriksen in behind the strikers. Maybe Winks could start and Dembele could push forward? Don't see it happening though.

Never gonna happen, was he not playing left back for Austria the other night. Wouldn't mind seeing Winks given some game time, Eriksen hasn't kicked into gear. Plenty of mincing around.

If we're playing with a back three then there is more of a chance he'll get more starts and game time. He's a good centre back.

He was pushed out to left back the other night because he was the only decent left footed defender available. Just like we put Vertonghen out there when Rose was injured.

Wimmer has just been rattled by injury, followed by lack of game time, followed by bad form. He might recover or he might not. Not easy to get enough starts to play your way back to form and confidence. Would be a pity as he definitely has the ability.

Looks like he'll start tomorrow anyway with Toby still out, unless we go back to 4-4-2.

Given Lamela and Alli are out, I'd be amazed if Poch drops Eriksen.

Really hope we don't draw this game.

Tottenham unbeaten in their last 11 (H) London derbies:

Yup.

Come on you spurs we must win this after Manu arse and all drew

Sugarlumps

Son and Alli on the bench, at least there's options if needed.

DubPerryman

Surprised he went for 4 at the back considering Wimmer is available and 3-5-2 worked so well against Arsenal.

Sugarlumps

Winks started well.

Sugarlumps

What a fúcking ball.

MonkieSocks

Real poor defending

tippspur

Terrible,feckin hell.

Sugarlumps

Bit pedestrian, West Ham are renowned for there set pieces. Could do with a goal before half time.

Sugarlumps

Good tackle.

MonkieSocks

Opposition teams are wise to our short kick outs, cost us at the moment.

Kick it long for a change

prodsc

Christian.....please start delivering good dead balls,passes, it has been tooo long!!!!!!!!

Kiith

Been watching the rugby, and only have the game on the laptop, but it looks like we are poor again.

MonkieSocks

Our passing has been dreadful.

Sugarlumps

Dembele needs to bomb on.

tippspur

West ham players keep falling over at the least touch.

MonkieSocks

Two strikers on the field. NONE in the box.

Sugarlumps

Eriksen, stay down.

Sugarlumps

Randolph won't have had an easier half. West Ham look very comfy. Gotta see some improvement in the 2nd half. Otherwise it's nul pois.

Let's see some quick entertaining football. Definitely going out of the CL if we continue playing this stale style of football.

Jason 5pu45

Where would you start.how does Jansen expect to score when he spends no time in the edge of the 6 yard box?Eriksen is just pants for us lately.Next 45 minutes is so vital.if we don't win this I can't see us winning any title
