Pizy

Can a match be very comfortable and very uncomfortable at the same time? Weird game.

Diego can't hold on to the ball to save his life here...

Looking at that counter around the 40th minute again and damn, Hazard would've been much better off shooting. Im with a lot of you about Diego. He looks so lethargic and off the pace. Like he's just going through the motions. None of the fire and relentless attitude dome earlier in the season.

Cesc and Pedro had a terrible first half. So many wayward passes that should be simple for them.

WHY THE FUCK DOES MOSES KEEP ALLOWING THESE EASY CROSSES!? Did we not prepare at all!?

Just allowing them to play the exact game they wanted. And letting them win every single 50/50 ball. We blitzed Swansea last week with pace and aggression, yet here were playing at walking pace.

Snodgrass and Lanzini will be playing long balls and swinging in crosses nonstop to Carroll if we allow them to. We have to completely smother the service.

So nervous because we all know this won't be the typical West Ham we've seen so far this season. It being the showcase Monday night match with all eyes on them you know they'll raise their game and probably play out of their skin. We know all week Bilic will have been studying our weaknesses and drilling it into them nonstop. Thankfully we have a manager who will have us fully prepared for this and hopefully our boys realize how massive this match is with City and Spuds starting to breath down our necks. Could be a massive kick in the gut if we lose this. Almost panic stations dare I say.

Good. Much as I love Willian, he doesn't necessarily terrify defenders like Hazard does. We need Eden in top form to remain ahead of Spuds & City.

Great...

Unless they offered £150m there's no way Levy would sell him to United. Not with the new stadium on the way. He's their only real source for goals and without him they be nowhere near top 4.

So much for Everton making a late surge towards top 4. They're shocking here. No service to Lukaku, midfield slow and awful, and defenders all over the place. Alos, I just cannot stand Harry Kane. Don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's the brain dead expression he always has on his face, maybe it's the 3 sizes too small shirt he wears, I don't know...he's just annoying. Absolutely deadly finisher, though.

Everton look dreadful. I think Spuds will continue winning for the remainder of the season so we must do so as well. They're still our biggest danger I think.

Yep. I love him as a player but for silly money like that we could easily get Sanchez who's better anyway.

One of those players who's linked with moves away every year but will never leave Dortmund.

I don't know. Spurs are kind of a concern for me. Not in Europe anymore so can focus only on the PL. Hoping the CL causes City to fall away.

We should have people behind the scenes communicating with his people constantly. I think he can definitely be persuaded to come here. We go to Arsenal with a big offer (40m) and we'd get him, imo. Don't think Conte would have set, rigid positions for our attacking players with Sanchez added to the team. He, Hazard and Costa would be fluid and constantly interchanging. Hazard and Sanchez swapping sides depending on the opposition and both can even play as the most advanced attacker like Hazard is doing now on occasion. He should be our priority attacking target. Zero chance any PL side could stop that potential attack. Think he'd all but guarantee us another title.

Decent result for us to ensure Arsenal don't threaten us late with their annual end of season winning run, I suppose. Liverpool are so hot and cold that I'm not too concerned about them catching us. Lets hope Everton can get something against Spurs tomorrow. I expect City to hammer Sunderland about 4-0 so not even gonna bother watching that. Could be a fantastic weekend all around if we win and United, Arsenal, and Spurs all drop points.

I'd be absolutely shocked if Zlatan gets banned retrospectively.

This is a banana skin match for sure mainly because West Ham are such an unpredictable side. They can look decent one week and embarrassingly poor the next. If our defenders switch off for even a moment Lanzini and Carroll are going to get opportunities to score. That's really the only area I'm concerned about - the defense. Think we'll be fine in midfield (I'm expecting Matic to come back in as it's an away game) and I don't think they have the quality in defense to deal with our attack. All about how we deal with Carroll. We dominate midfield and starve him of service and they have basically no goal threat with Antonio suspended.

They looked atrocious against Watford yesterday and that was with Antonio playing. Without him we should really be easing to 3 points. I actually think Swansea in current form are a more dangerous side.

I honestly couldn't tell you who won the League Cup last season. That's how completely irrelevant and insignificant the trophy is. I'm seeing people calling it a "major trophy" on Twitter. Give me a break. We'll forget they even won it come the end of the season.

Give the man whichever targets he desires in the summer and keep hold of our key players and we'll be right in there with a chance for the CL trophy. Just imagine how good we'll be with slight upgrades in a few positions... We'll have an insane amount of money to spend, a manager who gets the best out of even average players, and the lessons learned from the last time we won the title and didn't invest. He deserves to get whichever realistic targets he requests if he delivers a title in his first season, dramatically outperforming our target of a CL place.

Pep described him perfectly recently: he's a killer. Fantastic scoring record for a wide player. I bet Guardiola would kill to have Pedro at City. He's what he thought he was getting with Nolito.

Wonderful finisher and predator in and around the box where he can just use his instincts but so frustrating when he tries to dribble or has too much time on the ball to create something. He also doesn't know when to give the ball up at times and just holds it for bloody ever.
