Ooohh, a RB.

Bazshuayi

RB? Is that one of those new fangled modern football positions that all the other clubs have? Are we getting one for Xmas? ;puzzled

MrsGrey

;nonono It's not the West Ham way, baz.

Physio Room has Byrams return date as Boxing Day.

His shirt was in the dressing room at Anfield 10 days ago, so he must be travelling with the squad (the 19th man), just not not fit enough to be named in it.

TheMadcapLaughs

So Byram could be back, he could be the missing link (not Martin Keown which is a popular misconception). May bring a balance to the team that`s been sorely lacking. And from the above I gather Mark Noble has been playing on the moon. Now I know his movements look very slow and deliberate sometimes, but come on, you`ll be telling me that Zaza is a footballer next.........................

Antonio now got a groin problem?

TheMadcapLaughs

I just googled Michael Antonio to check above, and stumbled on this site, check out his playing position ;lol

One more on that bottom line and he's a winner at Gala Bingo

NEoldiron

And his one defensive weakness is tackling, just what you need for a full back ;biggrin

TheMadcapLaughs

Aslef ;lol and NE, I just hope Slaven has now noticed. Get him up the pitch running at defences and in around the box and he will score. Or fall over allowing Noble to score. ;goal

chicagohammer

I heard that he was getting a pair of gloves for Xmas, ;wink

If you watch the vid that Twist posted on the Antonio thread, you'll see he harbours an ambition to play in goal. ;lol


(Antonio, not Twist, that is ;nonono ;whome )

SSN breaking news, Sakho out for up to 8 weeks

;whome

Yeoldhammer

No ACON for him

MrsGrey

;weep

From his press conf earlier. ;ok

"We have a few knocks but are expecting everyone to be fit except for @iamdiafrasakho who will be out for six to eight weeks.

EDIT: I've just listened to the interview, and he clarifies - when he says 'everyone else fit' he is referring to those who were involved in the last game ;ok

Vorselaarhammer

So we have a chance for someone to beat AC time injured this season.....

Go for the gold Sakho.

MrsGrey

It's his back, again, apparently.

jay_in_cpt

He's had an operation on his back, Slav said March return....likely..

TheMadcapLaughs

I think Martinez will definitely get a run out now. Mrs G. I think Antonio would make a fine goalie. Be a bit unnerving watching him careering down the right wing though.............

Expat_Hammer

Madcaps .................... have sent you a PM

MrsGrey

Lanzini back in training today - may be OK for Leicester.

Sam Byram and Reece Oxford are also back training with the first-team squad this week + Ginge to be back in training next week.

Yeoldhammer

Zero point risking Lanzini with ACON coming. Need as many players fit for when we lose 3.

SuzanneClaret

Ignore ACON.

Play who ever is fit and who fits into our system.
