    Team is:

    Fabianski
    Fredericks - Diop - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Soucek - Rice
    Yarmolenko - Fornals - Bowen
    Antonio

    Haller on bench

    All according to Ex

    Interesting to see if it's that shape

    Wouldn't surprise me to see Fornals left and Bowen close to Antonio

    No real surprises though, Haller is a good option off the bench

    Yarnolenko has a chance to stake his claim as more than just a impact sub
  • PengemanPengeman
    Yarmolenko is notgood at tracking back and gives away too many fouls. If Chris Wood is playing for Burnley, that could be a problem.
  • LukerzLukerz
    He’s not starting for Burnley
  • LukerzLukerz
    Ex says it’s a 4-4-1-1 with Bowen supporting Antonio, Yarmolenko & Fornals on the flanks.

    Probably as good a side as we could put out, as Heller not fully fit. Hopefully we're up for having right go at them.

    Commentators just said Burnley are unbeaten in 3 and have the best record over the last 11 games besides Liverpool

    Point wouldn't be the end if the world

    Feeling like we could get all 3 though

    From BBC:

    West Ham are unbeaten in two matches (W1, D1) - their best run of league form since they went six matches without defeat last September

    Unbeaten in 2 games is our best run since September; that's truly shocking.

    3 points is a must in my opinion. 34 points going to Norwich where we can relegate and pretty much guarantee safety.

    Not much in it after 20

    Few chances, both teams cancelling each other out, Burnley with more possession

    Fornals, Bowen and Antonio all rotating down the left

    Big save from Pope there

    We’re turning the screw a little, it’s weird to watch!

    We're looking pretty decent after a shaky start. Need that first goal though you feel
  • alderzalderz
    Just heard the co-commentator (is it Karen Carney?) say that since restart we’ve outran all of our opponents, and before the pause it was 4 out of 29. Fair play to the manager for that

    Yes definitely.

    We are playing better than Burnley this evening - there's no question about that. I'm enjoying the game, however we do seem to move the ball a bit slowly and it almost looks unnatural and not the norm to have all of the possession/territorial advantage.

    (Not meaning to sound negative - just an observation. Overall I'm liking our performance so far).
  • alderzalderz
    Oh
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    As I say, need that first goal.
    Burnley will just shut this one out now.
  • alderzalderz
    Antonio HAS to score that. Really bad finish
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    And Antonio misses a glorious chance to equalise immediately.
    One of those nights I reckon
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I think Champo mentioned the need for 2 full backs and the goal tells us why.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Classic Burnley so far.

    Until we defend, we deserve all we get.
  • alderzalderz
    Why is Rice taking free kicks out on the wing?!
  • HuttonhammerHuttonhammer
    You cannot keep playing without a striker in the premier league. If we had a striker we would be winning not losing.
  • alderzalderz
    Seeing the goal again, what was Cresswell doing, honestly.
  • HamstewHamstew
    How on earth are we losing this

    You have a problem in the modern game if as a full back you can't defend and can't attack. Essentially you're a training cone.

    we have had chances to score.but have not taken them....poor from Antonio especially, but still in game COYI..Would take a point right now....
  • LukerzLukerz
    How on earth does Cresswell still play

    Whilst Antonio has done well, he’s not a striker so you cannot expect him to keep doing it
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    We’ve been the better side and pretty sure their goal was a fluke off his back, albeit poor from Cresswell.

    I still think we’ll win this.
