Palace (A) can we clip the Eagles wings or will we fade & die (Match Thread 28.10.17)

I'd like to see:

............Adrian...........
Fonte Reid Ogbonna
Byram...........Masuaku
.......Noble...Rice.......
............Lanzini...........
...Hernandez..Ayew....

Subs: Hart, Zabaleta, Cresswell, Obiang, Fernandes, Antonio, Carroll

Being reported that Byram, Rice and Sakho haven’t made the squad.

Have to say I think that’s a bit harsh on the first two, but the PL takes no prisoners

Not sure if Sakho is injured still or it’s just because he’s out of flavour

Even though I don’t think Hart has done a lot wrong and doesnt yet seem capable
Of the kind of mistake we know Adrian can make, I’d actually leave Adrian in, sends the right message that you do the business you stay in.

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

Lukerz

Harsh on Rice and Byram.

So it’s gonna be something like this I suspect.

Hart
Kouyate - Reid - Ogbonna
Zabaleta - Noble - Obiang - Lanzini - Cresswell
Ayew - Carroll

Adrian, Fonte, Masuaku, Fernandes, Antonio, Arnautovic, Chicharito

After Wednesday's comeback Slav was always gonna have a tricky team selection today..
Just gotta hope he gets it right...

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

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

Hamstew

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

OldCastleSwift

I do too Ham. Because, well, we're West Ham

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Me too.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

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

Lukerz

Hart starts according to twitter. Midfield is same as Spurs (Fernandes, Noble, Lanzini).

eskimoking

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.

Lukerz

So it’s gonna be:

Hart
Kouyate - Reid - Ogbonna
Zabaleta - Noble - Fernandes - Lanzini - Cresswell
Ayew - Carroll/Chicharito

Lukerz

Scrap that

Rice starts apparently

OldCastleSwift

Reid injured so Rice promoted to the bench, according to Ex ;hmm

OldCastleSwift

Fonte, Kouyate, Ogbonna? ;hmm

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Good to see all the early info is as accurate as always.

jay_in_cpt

And we do the usual pre match injury thing ;doh ;scarf

Lukerz

Reid crocked again

What the hell. Does he ever stay fit?

WHU_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

Lukerz

Lukerz

Is that 4 at the back again?

Yeoldhammer

;doh he just doesn't learn...

tomkinsworldclass

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

Is that what they call strength in depth. ;wink

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Feel a bit for Adrian and Byram

But anyway not matter what it is, as usual

COME ON YOU IRONS!!!

welovethehammers

Don't really agree with the team Bilic has picked but I'll support him and hope we perform well

Kouyate centre back with Fonte and Ogbonna

jay_in_cpt

I'm not sure any of us would have picked the same 11 to start...
Let the Hammers prevail... ;scarf
