Jimmy 140 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Interesting how Fabio isn't starting? Think he's been one of our better players recently. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So is Traore on the wing? Or is he RWB with Friend the other side and a three man Defence? Very odd system and shape either way... Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,276 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Harsh on Fabio but Friend hasn't been bad recently and obviously Chambers is seen as a better defensive option. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 No Rhodes in the squad, which is a shame as I hear he is training well Yes I was in expecting him to start alongside Negredo;) Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 A lot of height in that defence Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 449 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Swansea out the bottom 3 as things stand vital we get a win today Link to post Share on other sites

Very odd system and shape either way... I would think the former. Twitter page got the formation right last week and this week it's changed back to 4-3-3. That and I would be very surprised if Aitor thought Traore was a better option than Fabio right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,968 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Bamford for Stuani, Gestede on for Negredo in the 80th minute. Those will be Señor Karanka's subs today. Calling it now. Traore really needs to step up for us today as there is NO creativity in that midfield! Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 1,000 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The last 3 names on the bench allow us to completely switch out our attack for an entirely different alternative. How long has it been since we've had a plan B? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,276 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Feghouli vs. Friend, Antonio vs. Chambers, Carroll against Gibson and Bernardo. Say what you like about how West Ham have done this year, that's one tough battle we have to get a clean sheet today. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Fischer and Bamford on 60th minute. Effectively play with 2 inside forwards. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Bojan on the bench for Stoke Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,556 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 west ham will lose the middle and be pushed back. hopefully we can stop the crosses and dont concede freekicks. thats how they will get goals. during open play we'll stretch them. i fancy a win. west ham have been lucky to get most of their wins this season, nothing to fear.

gephind 7 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It would be nice for downing, Bamford and Gestede to come off the bench and make a difference, I would like to say Leadbitter also but I don't want to break the rules .... Link to post Share on other sites
