West Ham United V Everton – the Hammers line up is in!
Julen Lopetegui’s biggest game to date, labelled this week as must-win, means the Spaniard has to start turning around West Ham’s season and show that the team is growing in ability. ‘
An ‘improvement’ was called for by the board and by the fans after last week’s dire 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Lopetegui has named his eleven starting – some late fitness tests still happening as I type which can influence the eleven who are present at the kick off.
75 Minutes out, the named Eleven is:
West Ham United
Fabianski | Emerson, Kilman, Todibo, Wan Bissaka | Rodriguez, Soucek, Paquetá | Bowen (c) Antonio, Summerville.
I’m assuming this means a reversion to the more conventional 4-3-3 set up, which can get the most out of Summerville and Antonio.
Finally Lopetegui abandons ‘overthinking’ and sending out one of his weird team set-ups or last minute tweaks which have been the subject of so much criticism. It may not be a “Mike Bassett-Inspired Four-Four Effing Two” but it is ‘Four Three Three’ in a style familiar to the players. If it means we can avoid conceding in the first half hour then we’ll all be effing happy!
If they don’t sack the manager in the next few hours. We won’t win a game this calendar year
No bite in our attack, only one attempt on goal and that was in the 45th minute. I think we are missing Kudus. So far no yellow cards. Actually, it’s deathly quiet in the stadium as it’s very boring to be honest. 🥱
Now come on ..first half hour against lowly Everton…0 shots at all obviously none on target..they have 7 shots 2 on target…this is ridiculous..he HAS TO GO WIN LOSE OR DRAW
I can’t see us beating anyone at the moment and although Everton are a much easier task than Forest i just can’t see us getting more than a point. I have been very surprised at the new fella’s team selection lineups and substitutions if this was week two and he was still a bit undecided i could understand that but it ain’t.
Can’t wait to watch it (from Down Under), bring it on! COYI ⚒️ 🎲
