West Ham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[LexingtonSpurs]

Why? Not saying I don't rate him, but what has he done to deserve a start other than running around to little effect in a few pre-season games?

To little effect? He has at least a couple of nice assists for all his running around.

------------------Lloris------------------

Dier----Dawson----Vertonghen--Davies

Townsend--------Holtby------Capoue----Eriksen

------ Lamela--Adebayor-------

Hope the ref is strong today. I can see them going down to 10 men.

Sure, I guess the first game would be a good time for Pochettino to try out a new formation for the first time. What could go wrong?

Can see the team being

Lloris

Naughton, Kaboul, Dier, Rose

Capoue, Holtby

Lamela, Eriksen, Lennon

Soldado.

Tbf, it would really be

Dier - Daws - Verts - Davies
Capoue - Holtby
Lamela - Eriksen - Townsend
Ade

I still dont quite agree with it, but it makes more sense.

Naughton in for Dier and Bob for Ade. The CB-pairing is also up in the air imo.

Can't see Jan starting as he hasn't played a min of pre-season. That being said I'd love to see him in the team as it'd be a big confidence boost for the rest of the starting 11.

Lloris
Naughton
Jan / Dier
Younes
Davies
Capoue
Paulinho
Holtby
Eriksen
Lamela
Ade

Same only problem is the games are on at fucked hours on weekends when I'm usually getting my nob polished by a whore whilst snorting coke off of her anus at the same time of the games !

Anus? What kind of person are you? A doctor? Use an arse like the rest of us please...

I couldn't be arsed to rearrange a copy and paste of somebody else's team.

At least he has lamela off the striker unlike most on here who seem determined lamela will he wide right even though he hasn't played there all summer

I reckon Jan in instead of Dier, apart from that the rest is probably spot on and what I'd like to see.

Normally would put have put Jan in but just not sure if he will play due to fitness.

Lloris, Naughton, Kaboul, Dier, Davies, Capoue, Holtby, Lamela, Eriksen, Lennon, Soldado

Lloris, Kaboul, Davies, Capoue, Lamela, Eriksen are all sure to start. Naughton is possibly the other certainty with Walker's fitness problems. Depends on the WC players' fitness really though. IE Jan and Dembele. No idea who Poch would pick up front to start today. Though I reckon it's Soldado as he has played the majority of pre-season due to Ade's bout of malaria. Townsend could start over Lennon, but reckon Lennon will get it.

This feels like Xmas morning.......COYFS!!!!!

Ye for a jewish kid.

 

[Drexl]

I was optimistic about today, then i saw the dreaded words - Chris Foy

My heart utterly sank and now i fear the worst

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Not feeling confident at all.

Will be a travesty to lose to this lot 4 times in a row but feels like it could happen

 

[dimiSpur]

Yeah of course, but I think perhaps an untried kid is more of a risk than an unfit Jan.

What THE Pepper Pig??

No, Scouse Peppa Pig.

Its the subs who will be interesting to me , and who he leaves out

Good point-we could see a busy next week in the transfer market.

Soldado.

I think this is probably right although he may see holtby more as one of the 3 behind the striker which is where he spent most time in preseason. In that case bentaleb may start next to capoue with holtby on the bench and starting midweek in rotation with eriksen.
