Slaven Bilic has sprung a couple of big surprises by leaving Andy Carroll and Manu Lanzini on the bench today at Leicester.
Here’s how the ClaretandHugh Facebook followers @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/?fref=nf have reacted.

O Why no Lanzini or Carroll
O Why isn’t Carroll starting? (Never thought I’d find myself saying that) no Lanzini either…. Maybe we’re going to let them win to stop Spurs nabbing the title
O Well that’s……. Different
O Think he changed it because of fatigue setting in
O Looks like he’s gonna try and muscle em but after a hat-trick to be dropped????
O Watford mid week too. Be interesting to see what happens
O Carroll He was poor against Utd as was Lanzini…shows names mean nothing…..
O But brilliant against Arsenal – was anyone decent against United?
O I think Slav is trying to out smart them the foxes have prob been working on how Carroll plays and to be honest Huth & Morgan would have him in there pocket! The line up looks like we’re probably sit a little deeper as they play counter attack football like ourselves!
O Solid through the middle, just hope the fullbacks get the support, hit them on the break lets hope Moses is really up for this one.
OArsenal are not as good defensively as Leicester , it’s a good call..
O Except that Morgan and Huth sit deep and with right elivery AC could have a field day
O Carroll wouldn’t bully the Leicester defence like the Gooners….pace is key I think
O Steel through the middle and pace up top. Looks like he’s matching their style and is going to beat them at their own game.
O Maybe last chance for some to prove themselves?
Why is everyone worried about Wet Pants for ****s sake? Every time i come on here people are talking about them. Don’t you realise that’s
‘what they want.**** THEM. This is our site not wet pants. Who gives a **** what the greatest football brains and managers think. Just respond to the comments on our site and forget those know all tossers. COYI X
Forgot all about that site until I was reminded of it recently.Ain’t changed since the last time I was there last year,it is still full of pl standard managers.
ahahah… yeah Ty… “At My Signal, Unleash Bullsh*t”… lol 😀
You should feel fortunate guys that out of all the millions of West Ham fans on the planet only about 25 want to be internet managers & experts on Wetpants.Imagine if there was hundreds of them on there.
Haha,a river of Bullsh*t Matte 🙂
6 defeats in 33 matches.We are such a sh*t team,haha COYI

Carroll clearly wins the ball. So again robbed by a dodgy ref.
How many games now?
Still as said, All Valencia had to do was clear the F-ing ball and we win.
lol Wetpants are like a river… one message per second… I predict deaths and injuries…. ahhaha…
As far as the match I don’t know what to say… it has been really weird. Terrible referee decisions on both sides…
Cresswell scored a fantastic goal, this is all I can say in this regard. 😉
Please please never let that useless waste of space Enner Valancia put on a West Ham shirt again.
Gives away possession in the last minute of stoppage time when all he had to do was hoof the ball down filed. Carroll did not need to make that challenge. Perhaps not a penalty, but do not give the referee a chance to even things up.
But sole blame for me goes to that **** Valencia.
8 points drop in the last 4 league games from winning positions.
Johnham1 must be missing Hippohead.Sorry did we just lose 5-0?? Bilic a 2.What a F#cking joke.
Some fans never happy.Lets go back to relegations shall we?
Christ John you are one miserable b#stard.Go support the Spuds.Either that or join the moaners on Wetpants!
Bilic 2…you do talk some sh#t!
We were much better with Carroll and Lanzini on the pitch.
Awful performance, did not deserve anything, Bilic got it all wrong for me, I thought the football we played was simply shocking, no pattern to our play. We are going to throw away top 6 if we continue with Carroll, and I do not understand why Valencia is always put out on the wing. I would give the team 4 out of ten and Bilic 2.
Carroll for Obiang.Hope that is ok with the Wetpants!.Makes me laugh we are losing 1-0 to a team who are going to win the Prem,have only lost 3 all season & they are whinging like we should be hammering them.Nutcases!!
1-0 another great moment for the ref,it should have been a pen before Vsrdy tales great goal
Not going to be our day post post out Bullocks
Carroll on for the second half I think and Lanzini bye bye Moses and Emineke
Never read it during the match.I have a peek at it after.Always worth a good laugh reading the great minds in action.They bore me ****less.
Lol,well it’s great to hear the Irons fans at the match singing ‘Slaven Bilics Claret & Blue Army’ at the same time that the F#cking Wetpants go in to one after we went down 1-0.
Deliberately done to cause spontaneous combustion over at Wet Pants no doubt Slav will be keeping an eye on their match thread in regards to subs formations etc?
Lol Bill.It was my understanding that they let Bilic pick the matchday squad but they choose the starting Xl.Substitutions are his choice as well.
Didn’t think Slav had anything to do with picking the team,I thought The Wetpants selected it & sent it through to him prior to kick off,lol
