    Pointless watching it.

    Just going through the motions topping up fitness.

    Players look shattered.

    Our season starts in a week though

    Enner has been useless

    Looks like a kick about at the end of a hard training session where they can't really be bothered and want to just hit the showers
  • LukerzLukerz
    They must've had three training sessions today. Must've.

    Mooj

    ;ok

    Which it more or less is.

    Clearly Slav feels he needs to get games into the players' legs in preparation for the Europa game.

    Saturday's game will give us a clearer idea of where we are.

    Valencia replaced with a piece of cheese.

    Did we buy cheddar already then?

    Most the team are cream crackered, so some cheese could be just what was missing.

    Not bothered about getting done 3-0 but it frustrates me it was screened live when that was the equivalent of an end of training 11 v 11.

    Now we'll get media outlets reporting "Hammers beaten again in pre-season".
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    who cares what the press say ?
  • crusadinghammercrusadinghammer
    Don't panic - 2 years ago almost to the day we were getting beaten by one of the powerhouses of world football - The Wellington Phoenix - I know because i was there and saw it.

    Final game before we start the Europa League.

    Need to go with the sort of line-up we'll play next week.

    Adrian
    Byram - Burke - Reid - Cresswell
    Noble - Kouyate
    Antonio - Feghouli - Tore
    Carroll

    Will be interesting to see if ;ac gets game time.

    If he doesn't, it's unlikely he'd play on Thursday.
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    Need to play our strongest possible XI on Thursday so that we can enjoy our new home without the extra pressure of needing a result.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Think I may be reading too much into it but Adrian looked a little flat (and slow) in the last game

    Might be worth seeing if Randy is in better shape for the qualifier

    Adrian
    Byram Burke Reid Cresswell
    Noble Nordveit Kouyate
    Feghouli Carroll Tore

    Antonio possibly for either Tore or Byram knowing slaven it'll be Byram but I wanna see what Tore and Sam can do

    Injuries allowing, that looks very like a starting XI for Thursday.
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Randy
    Antonio, Nordveit, Reid, Cresswell
    Feghouli, Noble, Kouyate, Tore
    Valencia, Carroll

    Valencia gets another start.
    No Adrian?

    Nice goal from Carrol !!

    bbb

    Was a nicely worked goal, and fair play to Enner for delivering a pin-point cross. Not sure AC had to get off the ground for that header.

    So is Randy going to get all the cup games this season? Looks possible
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Herb

    You'd think so, if Adrian is still considered no. 1
  • billybondsbeardbillybondsbeard
    Feghouliiiiiii
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Fair enough for having the shot, but I don't think that goes in in the PL.

  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Looks like we're playing 2-2-4-2!
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Only pre season but Feghouli is looking good, can cross loves to take people on and can also inter play.

    Looking an unbelievable bit of business.
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Tore and Feghouli link up ;bowdown
  • billybondsbeardbillybondsbeard
    Valencia finally gets aggressive and does a shoulder barge - on the oppositions littlest player ;lol
