Masuaku instead of Cresswell. Pelle is going all out attack.

Away win ;wahoo

;hmm surprised we can even put a team out there .

Match blog on club's website says Perez and Obiang have knocks.

In his pre-match interview, the manager says, "Lucas Perez also had a problem. He tried to work with the squad on Friday but he said he has too much pain after ten or 15 minutes.

Reid, Carroll, Lanzini, Wilshere, Obiang, Yarmolenko, Sanchez, Perez, Arnautovic all missing.

If we didn't have bad luck...

Our injury record, year after year, is pretty ridiculous. I don't know if it's just one of those things where it seems like it's always terrible for us because West Ham is the only club I pay close attention to, or if it really is objectively and consistently horrendous. It seems to be the latter.

We used to blame the training ground but now I have no idea what it is about this club and injuries.

MrsGrey

An opportunity for the kids. ;thumbsup

I do think we suffer more than most Jorderz. We're regularly near the top of the Physioroom table and it seems to be mostly key players that we manage to break.

We've changed training grounds and have been through several coaching and medical teams and nothing has changed, so I don't think it's anything other than pure bad luck.

;scarf

SuzanneClaret

Those clappers ;doh

Part of the reason it's bad though is that we have Carroll and Reid perpetually in the treatment room, and we've added Wilshere and Yarmolenko who both have poor injury records. I don't know if it's that we are particularly unfortunate, or if we sign injury prone players?

OldCastleSwift

Well there is that Alderz ;lol

Adam

Were booting the ball up the pitch but our two changes to the side were Diangana and Hernandez for Yarmolenko and Arnautovic. No wonder we keep losing possession! We need to play the ball on the ground.

OldCastleSwift

We've been a bit better in the last 10 minutes, but nothing too convincing from either side

thornburyiron

Football from both sides pretty poor so far.

alderz

Anderson looks like a good payer but I can't for the life of me understand the positions he takes up on the pitch. He's never where I want a left winger to be on the pitch

DJ Hammer

snodders giving 100%

OldCastleSwift

Best attacking player so far, that's for sure.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I think we look the better side and more likely. But then, that was the case for the Brighton game and a lot of the Spurs game ;sofa

alderz

GET IN!!!

Even played a one-two with the post. Scoring from the header would have been way too easy.

About time this lay off freekick routine pays off

Get in!!
