Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs - Match Thread

[13VanDerBale13]

3 defenders on the bench.. Parrott could’ve filled a spot maybe.

Even on the bench we are parking the bus

I'm having a tenner on Dier to score from outside the area 33/1

Fuck it, I'm due.

It wouldn't surprise me. He was one of the ones doing shooting practice in the training video and was pretty accurate.

 

[McFlash]

Epic playmaker shithousery will be Dele’s remit I reckon

Yep, get him back playing the football he enjoys.

 

[JCRD]

people might actually start appreciating what he is capable of now he isn’t lumbered with 3 roles

Im a big fan of Winks and think he offers far more than people give him credit for, like you say

 

[Misfit]

Solid team. Tanguy and Ryan not even on the bench. Not fit/carrying a knock I guess?

 

[Matthew]

lot of faith shown in lucas right away, hopimg for a 2/3-0 win! but thats optimistic!

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Dier & Lucas, and to some extent Dele, will bring it big time. The ones to watch.

 

[ikky]

Well a lot of us wanted Son and Moura flanking Kane, now we have it let’s see how it works.

Tanguy is injured, sessegnons shirt was up so he’s just been left out

 

[RickyVilla]

Righty ho Jose. I had a fucking skinful last night, woke up on the sofa at 0400, tried to go to bed after that and the little one was in my spot already, slept in her room instead. Got woken up at 0600 as the little un wanted to pee and then went downstairs as she also wanted to eat. I am hanging out of my facking arse so can we have 3 points please? Cheers Bruv. Lots of love

I think you have 3 defenders on the bench because he dont have faith in the full backs on the pitch. Hoping we see some energy today. Need some sort of reaction out of the players.

[slartibartfast]

Surprised and pleased Winks got a start. Early days but with Dier there he'll be able to do what he's good at and not asked to do a job he can't.

 

[bubble07]

Let's be honest. If Poch picked this team we wouldn't be happy

 

[deth502]

Can't wait for this game COYS!

Vorm MIA is even more weird than that

 

[Sevens]

Happy with the team news. It's balanced, something that Poch just didn't seem to achieve, and I've said for ages that to get the best out of Winks we need to let him off the leash and play him alongside a defensive midfielder. Going to be very interested in seeing how he gets on with a box to box role and hopefully he'll release the ball faster.

Happy to see pace down the flanks too.

A lot today will hinge on the form of Alli and Dier, whose form have been well below par.

I anticipate a much faster build up than under Poch so the front players should have more room to run into. Also expected a deeper defensive line and the full backs to be more supportive and less gung ho getting forward.

 

[Matthew]

Which bookie?

i got 25/1 on skybet

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Impressed with the line up and will be even more so if Son and Moura are played as wide forwards as opposed to in Kane’s pockets. Shame there’s no Sessegnon on the bench though, hopefully he features in some capacity against Olympiakos.

 

[Sevens]

Vorm MIA is even more weird than that

He's injured. "Fellow stopper Michel sustained a calf strain in training on Monday and is expected to return to training next month."
