I'd have rested Trippier and Dele and played GKN and KWP instead but oh well. Disappointed no Lamela, but Poch said yesterday he want ready. Hopefully he'll be able to be on the bench on Saturday or vs Palace next weekend.

Happy with that line up. We needed height and Poch has included DIer and Sissoko as well as the three at the back and Llorente, so that should be enough.

Up to the front three to perform really, but happy to see us putting out a strong line up. Subs need to be on at 60 ideally though.

N'Koudou is playing so little, it is evident that he is beyond the fringes. A player who has played 60 seconds all season, why would he start tonight?

I guess Poch is giving this cup a little more respect than I thought he would. I didn't think both Alli & Son were going to play. Not that I'm against it.

Thought dele might play as he missed 4 games through suspension (inc england).

I would expect Carroll to pitch a tent and tie it to Foyth this match. Lanzini I've always rated as having more talent than West Ham know what to do with. Plus he seems to get seriously erect at scoring against us. Seems a rather competent 4231 from them but I imagine a lot of longballs and defensive play. Will need Dele and Son turned on to try and open them up.

Definitely do not want to sit deep in this game. Push up, get Carroll away from the goal and restrict space for Lanzini too.
