I noticed that Andy Carroll didnt play today. Wonder if he'll play against us. If not, both he and Antonio would be out who are their only real goal threats.

Same team as today, please!

Sound like Carroll could play I hope Zouma plays in that RCB instead of apzi I can see west ham pump alot of balls into the box in that RCB area if apzi plays there's one thing Carroll good at is heading the ball

I feel the only way we can get the whole 3 points against west ham is playing attack counter on them 

[cosmicway 1,333]

West Ham are always dangerous.
They knocked us out of the EFL cup, albeit we were a little under strength.
The year before we beat them 1-0 but they gave Mourinho a scare.
Always a dangerous side, even though they can't reach the top of English football.

Tough game as those hammer cunts will probably give 200% against us where they just bent forward against teams like ManUtd and Arsenal at their stadium.

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.

[Special Juan 27,440]

Nothing but 3 points please, fully expect Andy Carroll to turn into Drogba in his pomp as he always does.

If we turn up full guns blazing we will win this with ease, fancy a 2-0 win here.

**MATCH DAY GOING FANS** 

I would really appreciate if you could take a few minutes to answer my questionnaire for my university dissertation.

 

I am researching the buying behaviour of match day going fans and factors that would influence them to spend more on tickets.

So glad that Antonio is suspended for them. 3 points is a must.

 

Would like to see us go unchanged from Swansea.

 

Cesc offers us so much more control than Matic. Links up better with Hazard too and the whole team plays better and we seem to have less defending to do as we are on the front foot.

Carroll back to training for the hammers

*Sigh*

How much for Carroll turning into Messi against us? Can't stand that horse.

Or we just do what City did twice and completely outplay them, cutting the supply line.

Easier said than done considering we don't tend to outplay sides away like we do at home.

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.
