I do wish they would allow Lloris to take a new photo for the team shots - he looks like a deer caught in headlights.

I'd have given us a one in ten chance of a draw before I saw the teams, but now I'm a tiny bit more positive- not seeing ours but theirs.
Due to a mix of excellence and poor refereeing, Kompany normally has Kane in his pocket- probably the only CB I've seen do that. But I reckon H will do better against their ball-playing CBs. Moura through the middle also makes sense. And no KDB can only be a positive.

I'm also happy to see us trying to contain their FBs, instead of watching Son being bullied by Kyle.

No stupid early fkups please, against their high press- play longer and earlier to reduce the risks of dangerous turnovers.

0-1, or 0-2 prediction.

Why havent they made at least a token effort to revert to real football pitch markings? Lazy fuks.

Well we're not going to out-think them are we.
Without Eriksen, Dele and Winks.
Barely a brain cell among the lot of them.
Sad.
Dier sent off in first half
a distinct possibility.

When did Man City change the spelling of citizens to cityzens? Surely that's enough for the FA to demote them to non-league football.

I think a load of West Ham's fans just shit themselves.

The biggest problem with Poch is that he's utterly incapable of picking a decent side for important games - especially when we have another game a few days later. Poch's MO has always been to field a half-strong half-shit team for both, expecting somehow in his cloud-cuckoo head that we can win both games with half teams rather than going all out and winning 1 of them with a very strong team being fielded.
He's done this for years and will keep doing it. It always backfires spectacularly on him every single time.. But being the goldfish that he is, he goes into every double-header game doing this every time like either it will somehow miraculously work this time or he just forgets how every other 2 game situation before ended..

He just never, ever learns..

1-4 tonight
0-2 on Weds

Sissoko Dier Dembele (pathetically lacking creativity) vs Silva x 2 and Fernandinho, christ that is a mismatch if I have ever seen one, shit pitch is our only hope. Can we really play Sissoko, Dier and dembele together and expect a good tempo performance (all have poor passing ability), add to the fact our fullbacks, deffo aint looking forward to this, but still can hope COYS

Eriksen probably getting his wrist slapped for that lazy ass pass on Wednesday night.
