    Lot of build up on the site about Diangana. Might well see him replace Yarmolenko.

    Yes I think Snodgrass will keep his place in the midfield three, with either Diangana or Antonio as a right forward.

    I thought Snodgrass did a good job against Spurs as the furthest forward player of the midfield three. He closed down players well.

    Without Yarmo we lose that calmness on the ball in terms of retaining possession. Snodgrass needs to play as a result because he is pretty good on the ball. Then we can have the unpredictability of Diang on the wing, but he could also go with Antonio or Perez or even Masuaku. Or he could move Snoddy to the right to get Hernandez in the side.

    Pellegrini's view: “For me, one of the most important things as a player is that when you have the ball, you give the ball to a player in the same colour shirt. If you have red, you must give it to red. That is the basic thing for a player and Diangana always starts with that.

    Well that's a great endorsement of a young player. I like what the manager is doing here bringing the youngsters to train with the senior squad should help them immensely. ;wahoo

    My team won 6 4 today with my fellow centre half getting punched. Blood everywhere. Dreaming of a rare double.

    Yes we refused to lose after that! Lifetime ban for that nutter. He played on too like Terry Butcher.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    I hope Diangana features he hasn't looked out of his depth at all. A bit lightweight but composed.

    Will be watching this game from AJs, a football supporting pub close to the Wrigley field - (they also do a decent pie)

    BT sport score tv show cancelled after Glen Hoddle who was a pundit today collapsed in the studio and has been rushed to hospital.

    Arnie out with illness

    So Antonio or Hernandez up front then I guess.

    No goals in 180 minutes with Arnie on the pitch, so can only see another blank this evening.
  • horshamhammerhorshamhammer
    Antonio and co are going to have to step up.

    I hope Hernandez plays and steps up. We need him big time now.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    We do Jorderz, but he just doesn't fit with the formation that Pelle like to play. Unless we go two up front, Hernandez is pretty redundant, IMO.

    Arnie has everything a modern forward needs; Hernandez, unfortunately, doesn't.

    So I think we'll start with Antonio up top.

    Arnie ;weep
    Glenn Hoddle ;pray

    Nope, Hernandez starts.

    Diangana does too.

    Only two changes.

    Let’s pray it is illness and not his knee being operated on
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Hernandez movement is excellent, so in 90 minutes he’s bound to get a couple of good opportunities at least IMO. But he needs to put more concentration in staying onside. He also needs people near him to interplay with. If he’s isolated, he’s useless.
  • horshamhammerhorshamhammer
    Perez not even on the bench, two youth players instead. Strange.
  • AdamAdam
    Yeah, I had high hopes for Perez. I liked him before he went to Arsenal. Then, he had a very good year last season in La Liga. I’m not sure what’s going on as it might not be working out with him.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Jorderz, agree that we need Anderson, Snoddy and Diangana close to him if he's going to have any effect at all ;ok
  • AdamAdam
    Hernandez did well at the World Cup for Mexico as the main striker. He was helped a lot by the two wingers.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Leicester clean sweep Hernandez will get bullied to much. One way traffic for Leicester.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    That's my fear Yeold ;ok Arnie is normally the bully. Even Carroll can do that.

    But Hernandez against two centre haves could be painful viewing for West Ham fans.
