But you'd still think we'd lose to it though Thorn. ;wink

OldCastleSwift

Two strikers on the bench.

None on the pitch.

Even by our standards that's laughable.

Ironherb I wouldn't expect us to lose against it but I wouldn't be surprised either. I've seen us lose to some really bad sides as have a lot of others. Who can recall losing away to Torquay in the cup or Mansfield in the league cup.

Sky has us with a back 3 of Rice, Ogbonna and Cresswell, so it's either Sky ;doh or Moyes ;doh

Very surprised with Ben Johnson on the bench. I've seen the u23's play quite a few games and he's not ready for first team football yet. Worrying signs seeing him on the bench. Obviously he has potential to improve but he gets caught out at u23 level at the moment.

40M+ plus on the bench.....

Sakho on the bench together with our 2 record signings. ;doh

We really are a Mickey Mouse outfit; no disrespect to Mickey Mouse.

OldCastleSwift

So is it

Adrian
Kouyate Rice Ogbonna
Zabaleta Obiang Lanzini Cresswell
Fernandes Antonio Masuaku

;hmm

Sky seem to think it’s 4-5-1 with Obiang at the back, Lanzini and Masuaku on the wings and Antonio up front.

Let’s be honest, I don’t think there’s much we can to do to avoid an absolute slaughtering here. Going as defensive as possible is literally our only chance.

OldCastleSwift

Looking at the warm up it really is a back three of Rice, Ogbonna and Cresswell

Cresswell.

At centre back.

Vorselaarhammer

So with that formation I’m even more worried that’s i was, didn’t think that was possible..

Decent line-up for today's thankless task of bus-parking. Looks like 4 5 1 which is OK for this one, with Fernandes wide right and Masuaku wide left.

Let's break some records ;scarf

So, Kouyate in a 2 just behind Antonio? Sure he'd be better in the back 3 with Ayew or Arnautovic further forward. Can't believe we're setting up like this.

Hearing the West Ham singing bubbles

Maybe we should have an icon with in it bubbles
Bit like
Get yeah yeah coat but with bubbles
Any one with thoughts ?

buffybegood

Great chance from a corner, will we get a better one all game?

Ogbonna slipped again (not in this match) but fortunately Aguero didn't make us pay.

imagelost

Adrian catches ball
Hart would have
Punch , slap, plam that out
And prob would be getting that of net
