    Taty and Kante for me

    Last thing I’d like is Wilson starting. Would love him off the bench though to finish our chances. If we are struggling to create chances then use Pablo as a sub

    I agree Wilson is better from the bench but Pablo is a bit like Paqueta without the sublime ability, in that it's a bit of a waste of a shirt, but at least with Paqueta there was always the chance he would suddenly do what no one else on the pitch COULD do. With Pablo it's more a chance of him doing what no one else on the pitch WOULD do.

    I still can't get my head around how Gil Vicente bought Pablo for 250k Euros 1st July 2025 and sold him for 25m Euros exactly 6 months later.
    With him and Nuno having the same agent I think it stinks, although that could be overlooked if he was actually any good, but looking back at his touch from a throw in on Sunday that led to Newcastle's third goal, I just don't get it.

    Gruev, Gudmundsson, Okafor, Stach and Longstaff all out

    Struijk and Bogle back in training but facing late fitness tests

    Right, stress preparation:I've moved an extra sofa in to hide behind; have alcoholic beverages lined up; and a printout of all Slacker's comments to give me optimism...
    And astro is only showing The Match on Tuesday morning 😡
    So I am reduced to watching some team play Everton, and relying on my unreliable net connection to keep me up to date via BBC and this splendid site.
    Good luck to all 🤞🤞🤞

    What's the general opinion here, are West Ham more likely than Everton to win or vice versa?
    My opinion is that if they both win we've achieved a greater escape than Steve McQueen in the erm.... "The Great Escape" =)

    Steve McQueen didn't escape in the Great Escape...

    Well at least I think we can all agree with the starting eleven - that’s first base achieved

    Interesting that Tobido is not on the bench

    Poor cross by Pablo, a good 2ft over Taty.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Leeds really shoulda scored there.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Taty drawing some fouls, one Leeds defender booked already, and now a free kick just outside their box.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    West Ham corner now.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    One way traffic for Spurs at Everton, similar for Leeds here against us.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Good spell of pressure but no clear cut chances as yet.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Until Pablo unleashes a decent effort but it's blocked and shoulda been a corner but the dreadful ref gives a goal kick.

    Details, mere details. =)

    Dreadful giveaway by Diouf, but superbly regathered by Fernandes.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Long range effort by Fernandes stings the keepers gloves. Then Taty had a chance but his touch deserted him when he needed it most.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Another yellow for a Leeds player as Diouf breaks forward. Now a water break.
