Manuel Lanzini looks set to keep his place in the Hammers line-up for the match against Newcastle on Monday night.
Insiders are telling ClaretandHugh the manager is set to reward the team that beat Liverpool so convincingly with another run-out against the Geordies.
We were told: “One of the biggest questions is whether he will stick with young Lanzini and the answer is that it’s going to be very difficult to leave him out after a goal-scoring League debut.
“There is nothing definitive at this stage but the general mood seems to be that the lad will start and that the team will remain unchanged.”
That will mean that the bench will be as strong as we’ve seen at at the Boleyn in several years with Antonio, Moses and Carroll looking to get on at some stage.
Is this your favourite photo Hugh ?
I think most are proud of the team that got us that result,but on here like most genuine fans we are also not stupid that when you are the manager of a squad of such great talent and playing a different side and at home where we are yet to win,it must be a temptation to bring out a new jewel,
Plus Zarate has been playing well and he has been waiting for the return of AC,
Monday here we come keep your head down McLaren
Will be pleased to see him keep his place.Surely he deserves to doesnt he 😉
Lanzini deserves his chance because he is full of potential .. the only way for West Ham to go Forward is to play their youngsters and relatively unknowns .. They are very likely to surprise a lot of teams this season . Wins are important as are performances ,, but we must make The Bolyen Ground our Fortress in this our last season at Upton Park .
Keep springing the surprises , Bilic .
At the end of the day it’s point’s that count . Don’t let us forget it .
the team effort against Liverpool was outstanding and they deserve to start against Newcastle. Plenty of options off the bench and whether we are winning losing or drawing I wouldn’t be surprised to see substitutions at some point.
Agree with everyone !!!!!
Fingers x for Monday !!!!
Don’t think it will be easy IMO !!!!!!!
Hope I’m wrong though !!
