[Madmax 9,219]

Our Xmas - New Year's schedule is a killer. 2 London derbies and away to Soton who've annoyingly come back to winning ways just as we're about to show up.

One game at a time fellas.

Would love to see Ramires get a run next this game.

Courtois

Brana Cahill Terry Luis

Matic

Ramires Fab

Oscar Hazard

Costa

[stroey 2,525]

Ake was on the bench as the back up for DM's, so I think Ramires is still injured. Weird to be so long without Ramires, hope he recovers soon.

[iceboy 992]

Hope Hazard is OK. Tough match against 19th century team.

[zolayes 14,489]

Bubble blowers at home is easier than DIRTY POTTERS away KTF

[MichaelDance 552]

We need a good defence, and give players game time like Remy, Oscar and rest a few for the big games. This should be a smooth game.

[Tautvix 1,321]

I think Drogba, Oscar and maybe Filipe in.

[iceboy 992]

I would start with the same team.

[DH1988 1,192]

HUGE game, glad I've got a ticket for this one.

We need to burst them from minute 1.

West Ham gameplan:

Long ball to Carroll

Carroll draws the foul

Downing over the freekick

We need to let Carroll have the first header and do exactly what we did tonight against Crouch, Jose put it as 'a cage around him'. Carroll is better than Crouch because hes athletic.

Dangerous game.

That was there game plan last season but I don't think they will be anywhere near as negative this time round, not even close.

They were at there lowest this game last season, they had no confidence atall and were playing shit, Big Sam had no choice but to play it the way he did, and even then we hammered them all game but didn't take our chances.

This season they are a much different proposition, Allardyce is one of the most tactically astute managers in this league (if he was skinny and more of a looker people would rave about him constantly), and West Ham with their current confidence could nick a draw if not a win if were not on the ball.
