Team for West Ham....

[brasil_spur]

Id be happy enough with Gill starting, i like him.

But he could struggle against Coufal.

Potentially bring in Richi for Gil then?

 

[Mr Pink]

Potentially bring in Richi for Gil then?

I thought that, but doubted he'd be ready to start.

 

[Kingellesar]

Is Antonio still out? Fucking hate how he always seems to play a blinder against us.

Out for up to 3 months I think.

They will most likely start Bowen at striker again.

 

[EssexSH27]

I'd play richarlison right and take out gil. Keep it the same other wise. If Richy isn't 90 minute fit give him 60 or so and bring on Gil.

Ange said Richy had a max 5-10 in him yesterday and was only there for emergencies so I would be surprised if he’d be fit for 60 just four days after.

Anyone know when sarr is due back?

 

[GioW]

Anyone know when sarr is due back?

Ange said should be back "by the end of the week" . So you'd think west ham might come too soon but maybe back for Sunday

 

[robhumphreys]

I can't say I've been that impressed with Gil. Sarr plays if fit, if not Hojberg who I thought did a good job at City.

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

ROMERO!

 

[cjbyid]

I'm happy Romero is back but it is a derby and he will be raring to go so I hope he doesn't go and break someone in half.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Can try this in an FA Cup game but not a London Derby where 3 points is huge

I wouldn’t want to try it in an FA Cup game either, unless playing seriously low level oppo. But agree with the premise of your point.

 

[Tucker]

Romero for Royal aside, I’d play an unchanged side.

PEH in for Gil for me.

 

[14/04/91]

As others have said, PEH away at Man City is a very different solution to West Ham at home.
Ange is generally braver than that so wouldn’t surprise me to see Gil retained.

And if PEH starts and we struggle to break them down, I do hope the ones clamouring for his inclusion are big enough to hold their hands up….!

 

[The Scarecrow]

Under no circumstances do I want to see Højbjerg and Bissouma in the XI. I'd be tempted to give Højbjerg the opportunity after a good half vs. City.

For me, although I'm far from sold on Gil.

I also hope we may see Dorrington now that Romero is back, but West Ham isn't the game for that.

And what about if we do win and win well with him in the side (PEH)...nothing said?

Id be more than happy to start Gill in a lot of games, he was class against Villa and so were we as a collective.

I just think Moyes will have watched that Chelsea game and will want to make it physical.

Expect a lot of niggly challenges going in and PEH might be better suited to a scrap to give us the platform to play.

That said we could blow them off the park with Gill starting and Kuku central - which i love.

Just hope we dont struggle physically....we know what West Ham are going to try to do.

 

[yid-down-under]

I’d be sticking with starting Gil for a few more games too so he can get into the rhythm of playing. Don’t forget he started the counter that lead to sons goal yesterday

Tactics aside as there are pros and cons of both options, I think PEH deserves to start the next one.

Yep this is the team for me.

If Sarr is back then he can come on from the bench, don’t want to risk him breaking down again by starting him.
