If it didn't work out with FL going forward, at least the players are accustomed to playing in a 4-2-3-1 if we could get Poch. Still hoping FL comes through.

-----------Mendy Azpi Zouma Silva Chillwell --------Kante Mount Ziyech Havertz Pulisic ---------Werner A man can dream!!! I still really like Mount, even after the failed penalty.

As a fan, this time of getting all these players on the same page is difficult to be patient. It would help if I could see that there is a game plan being executed.

I see a lot more parked buses in our future

Stuck in a meeting and ESPN app will not work....dammit

We get another goal and Mou will not bother bringing in hi starters.

I like the line up. I am really interested in seeing how Mendy plays. Hopefully he is lonely and bored.

I think you can be too rigid in your plan. To have no plan is not ideal either. I think there must be a plan other than our guys are better than your guys. You can see Man city executing a plan against a lower level team that is slightly different than the week before. Every plan has to be flexible if it not working.

There is an American group that is trying to purchase West Ham. If WH financial situation is as bad as what people are saying, they may need money from the sale. There is probably a better source, but if Moyes is speaking out, it may be true. https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/transfer-news/david-moyes-lays-west-ham-18968971

If this is true, Alonso won't be in the starting XI.

His press conferences was worth the watch. He is being honest about prioritizing matches because of potential revenue for the club. I don't think his squad will roll over, but he may hold out some key players.

We draw to a crap team and move up three spots on the table. We always seem to draw or lose on the weekend that everyone that is a contender drops points. Arsenal vs Liverpool means one of them or both drops points.

Starting to see rumors that West Ham is in financial trouble. If people really have legit sources, £40m looks to be our initial offer.

Christensen looked pretty damn good. I hope he is starting to find his game. We really need a couple of our CB to step up. There are a lot of games coming in a short amount of time. We need 3 or 4 of them to be solid.

After watching how we were so ill prepared to attack WBA, I am starting to see what people critical of Lampard are getting at that he really has no game plan and this team will be great when we get a manager that has a plan every week. The mistakes led to the goals, but i did not see anything that looked like we had a plan against them. When you have this much talent, you better know how to use them. Arteta is a new manager, but he is always executing a plan. Lampard needs to step up his game.

That makes it hurt a little less.

Tinker tinker tinker. Lampard is going to start feeling the heat. We never really have a tactical plan on exactly how we will attack weaker opponets.

We look very much like the same team as last year.

I guess we will know at kick off. The pregame show just showed the formation is 433 with Werner and Havertz as wingers.

Formation 4231?

No U.S. matches or friendlies scheduled. Puli will be rested.

I expect Silva to be in.

It depends on how hard hit WH finances are.

That was a fun watch. I hope CHO stays with us. He is really not going aggressively to goal. Mount missed two sitters.
