I started the thread for our last TV match and took one for the team against Arsenal so I guess I'll give it another shot

After 8 games without a win what could be better than a team that has beaten us in our last five league meetings

Since Ivan Toney returned Frank has played 3-5-2 and before Tuesday he hadn’t made a lot of changes to his starting XI. 8 players started the previous five games, another started four games and another three.

In those five matches Ivan Toney (2 in 3 against us) and Neal Maupay (4 in 6) scored 7 of Brentford’s 10 goals between them but against City Maupay was dropped for Yoane Wissa who had been at ACON

Two other changes against City was CM Frank Onyeka, also back from ACON, replacing Mattias Jensen and Danish international CB Zanka for Nathan Collins who had started 21 of the 24 games he’s been available this season

CB Ethan Pinnock had started 53 Premier League games in a row but has missed the last two with an ankle that will keep him out until next month and Kristoffer Ajer has been filling in.

Also on the injured list are LB Rico Henry, CM Joshua Dasilva and CF Bryan Mbeumo (3 in 5)

Best guess

Flekken
Collins Ajer Mee
Roerslev Onyeka Norgaard Janelt Regullon
Toney Wissa/Maupay???

I'm off work Monday so I'll be able to watch this down the pub

A draw would be nice!

    We've got plenty of drivers and not enough trains at the moment.

    Loads of us sitting "spare" which is why I started typing the thread (daytime TV is rubbish)

    I did that on Monday to cheer myself up. 👍
  • PengemanPengeman
    Given the limitations of our squad and injuries the team that I would like to see:

    Areola
    Coufal- Mavropanos - Aguera - Emerson
    Alvarez - Soucek
    Bowen - Kudus - Antonio
    Mubama

    Zouma and Phillips have been poor. JWP has't done that much in the last few games. Soucek is hit and miss, but that's all that we have. But Mr. Moyes may have other ideas.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Paqueta could be back, Moyes in his presser this afternoon:

    “But Lucas Paquetá is back in training and very close to returning, so that will give us a boost.
    He’s in contention [for Monday] and we’ll have to see where he is."

    We’ve lost all 5 PL games against Brentford and they’ve scored at least 2 in each of them so we really need a big effort on Monday.

    I'm looking forward to Moyes outwitting the opposition and unleashing the true potential of his players. Don't think it will be in this fixture, though.

    Areola
    Mavropanos - Zouma - Ogbonna
    Coufal - Alvarez - JWP - Emerson
    Kudus
    Bowen - Antonio

    Fabianski, Aguerd, Johnson, Cresswell, Soucek, Paqueta, Cornet, Ings, Mubama
  • WhitehorsehammerWhitehorsehammer
    Why Lukerz would you leave Paqueta on the bench, if fit?

    Moyes hasn't played with a back three all season, if he was going to do that he'd have done it away against a team above us so I doubt he's going to do it at home against a team five places below us

    He is fairly predictable so most likely the same XI as Forest with Soucek in for Phillips
  • LukerzLukerz
    I think after 10 goals in 3 games conceded, he’ll go to a back 3.
  • LukerzLukerz
    He’s got to be considering Mavro & Ogbonna after the last few abject defensive displays. They both didn’t put a foot wrong during Xmas.

    11 goals actually
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Bowen confident they can turn things around against Brentford on Monday night. I wish they’d stop talking and start playing.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Paqueta surely suggesting he'll be available for selection:

  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Frank says he will have the same squad as against City with no new injuries but no one returning from injury.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Matchday, but, with our current run, if I'm being honest I'm struggling to raise any enthusiasm for watching the match.

    Paqueta starts, unfortunately so does Zouma:

    Areola, Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma ©, Emerson, Souček, Álvarez, Ward-Prowse, Paquetá, Kudus, Bowen
    Subs: Fabiański (GK), Johnson, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Scarles, Earthy, Mubama, Ings, Antonio

    Paqueta starts. Aguerd is dropped.

    West Ham United: Areola, Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson, Souček, Álvarez, Ward-Prowse, Paquetá, Kudus, Bowen
    Subs: Fabiański (GK), Johnson, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Scarles, Earthy, Mubama, Ings, Antonio

    Brentford: Flekken, Jørgensen, Ajer, Mee, Reguilón, Onyeka, Jensen, Nørgaard, Lewis-Potter, Maupay, Toney
    Subs: Strakosha (GK), Wissa, Ghoddos, Collins, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Janelt, Roerslev, Yarmolyuk
  • stevesteve
    Hope the fans get behind the team ,Paqueta back should help .
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    I wonder what are the odds of both Maupay and Toney to score.

    About even money.

    At least, that's all I'd offer 😂🤣😂😭😭😭

  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Flekken
    Zanka Ajer Mee
    Regullon Jensen Norgaard Onyeka Lewis-Potter
    Toney Maupay

    Janelt left out of the starting XI for the first time this season, Roerslev dropped to the bench after nine games

    Be interesting to see who plays where as both Lewis-Potter and Regullon are primarily left sided players
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Roerslev seemed to be a really niggly player in a recent game I watched, but they've still got Maupay, Reguilon and Toney so they're not going to be short in that department.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Switched on to watch the football and they are discussing poxy Chelsea v Liverpool. A boring 0-0 after 118 minutes, bore off!
  • PengemanPengeman
    Cornet has hardly played. Surely not injured?
  • stevesteve
    Be nice to beat Brentford before I leave this earth =)

    Must admit I was wondering where he was.
