West Ham pre match chat

[Momo ★]

Klopp just had his press conference.

Firmino and Lucas are doubts. Sturridge and Lallana are ready.

 

[HC]

I'm not sure firmino missing is a bad thing hes looked out of place/ shagged the past few games.

It would be nice to see sturridge get more than 20 minutes to deliver and obv lallana would/should start in place of firmino


Bilic has already said they will be setting up as they did versus spurs, so a gritty ,dogged kryptonite to us like performance will be served up. That said spurs showed they can be broken down and had more than enough chances in that game. All the more reason to unleash (delicately) the studge..

 

[Hansern]

Think he said Lucas would be back in training today and Firmino tomorrow.

Play Lallana, play Sturridge, score some early goal. Put the game to bed in the first half and control the game in the second half.

Is that too much to ask for?

Score one and put the game to bed?have we ever managed that under klopp, watford aside?

I have very little faith in this side going into HT 1-0 up and reaching fulltime without goals going either way

I see we're practising playing against West Ham's likely formation:

 

[Brizzle ★]

We need some changes for this game - our performances of late have been turgid.

Lallana needs to start, maybe even Studge for Origi too. I'd personally like to see Clyne given a rest - his lack of effectiveness going forwards is starting to piss me off.

----------------Mignolet---------------
TAA-----Matip------Lovren---Milner
------------------Can-------------------
---------Lallana-----Gini-------------
Studge------Firmino------Coutinho

 

[LeTallecWiz]

If Studge starts, it HAS to be a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-2 if Origi is playing. If Origi isn't playing, we can try the 4-3-3

 

[Silver Sean]

This team is so capable of winning at a canter, and yet also so capable of allowing a shite West Ham team to bully us and beat us.
Fuck knows the outcome, but Sturridge and Lallana have to play if they're fit.

 

[Hansern]

Carroll, Kouyate and Noble are out for West Ham

 

[tombrown ★]

Haha - even against a bunch of 4 foot under 9's our corners dont get past the first man

 

[Mystic]

Just please don't start fucking Origi. I'm really not confident going into this game, we've look absolutely shagged recently, no energy, nothing, I just can't see where the goals are coming from. Sturridge, please redeem yourself in this game.

 

[manwithnoname]

Klopp just had his press conference.

Firmino and Lucas are doubts. Sturridge and Lallana are ready.

So great news all round.

As long as Div doesn't play, either.

I did say goals, as in plural.

We'll be able to tell how we're going to play within the first 5 mins. If we start poorly, it's same old, same old. We'll allow West Ham settle, get comfortable and we'll be the ones making the mistake to give them chances.

I can see Sturridge scoring if he starts. He'll at least fashion some chances for himself with his movement.

 

[Gary25]

Have to be starting Sturridge here.

 

[Mors]

If Firmino and Lucas are out then hopefully:

----------------Ming---------------
Clyne-----Matip------Lovren---Milner
------------------Can-------------------
---------Grujic------Wijnaldum-------------
Lallana------Sturridge------Coutinho

 

[Momo ★]

That would be my starting XI.

 

[SummerOnions ★]

We're not winning this. Arsenal are getting top 4. I see a 1-1

[Buddha ★]

0-3. An early goal and 0-2 up by half-time.

 

[gareth_thomas]

We better win!😡

 

[mom]

Firmino being a doubt is most likely because he looks exhausted. If he's unfit, leave him on the bench. If he's fit, only an idiot wouldn't play him. But, that's assuming he's playing upfront. He's wasted and pointless on the wing. Which I wouldn't mind so much if he were making way for Suarez. But, Origi isn't quite at Suarez's level...
Start with studge. Lallana is a no brainer. Firmino can come on for studge on 60, or 85 if Klopp does his usual.
Lucas should have been rested at home and played for the weekends away game. Lord knows why he was started against the mighty saints.

 

[Hansern]

Well, the good news is that Andy Carroll wont be bothering us but they have a striker that hasnt scored yet at home.
That will obviously change on Sunday.

 

[Holle ★]

We'll lose, unfortunately.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Easy win boys, relax

 

[Modo ★]

I think we're gonna win

 

[Hansern]

I've got no idea, but I'm bricking it already.

 

[Farkmaster ★]

I refuse to brick it about 4th place.

 

[Rosco]

5th place is a reason to brick it

 

[Farkmaster ★]

5th place is a reason to brick it

Meh. I bricked it for the title. I'm not bricking it for money, I'm not a whore.

 

[Momo ★]

If most of you expect West Ham to get a result then back them and the draw at 5/4.
