Defensive duo Kurt Zouma and Max Kilman are the latest variant of West Ham’s centre-back pairing, with Emerson starting at left back and Kaelan Casey again getting minutes at right back.
Interestingly last year’s captain Zouma is given the armband today.
The full starting line up:
Fabianski; Emerson; Zouma; Kilman; Casey; Potts; Orford; Ward-Prowse; Cornet; Guilherme; Marshall.
Subs:
Cresswell; Kudus; Mavropanos; Ings; Foderingham; Aguerd; Irving; Earthy; Robinson; Terry; Kelly; Kodua; Scarles.
Presumably there’ll be a wholesale change again at half time. Could be some interesting options going forward with those names on the team sheet: Again we’d assume Cornet is playing the Striker role at least for the first half.
Remember if you wish, the game is available to stream via the club web site at an extortionate or very reasonable price of £4.99 depending on your view point.
I’m old school like you, Martin. You know you’re being ripped off when the West Ham United website informs you that the price for the live stream of a pre-season warm up is JUST 4.99!!!!
As I watched the free live stream from Austria earlier in the week and became bored out of my brain. I was not going to pay for the privilege today.
There’ll be free YouTube highlights soon enough. Worth watching for Andy Irving’s goal.
Just seen Irving’s fabulous goal…… what type of player is he, Martin?
Your guy Irving on the score sheet again. Wouldn’t it be funny if he turned out to be what we’re foolishly willing to spend 37 million on!
