Pre Match West Ham v Leicester

[tedfoxxx]

I would really like to see how a 4231 spearheaded by Gray, Okazaki, Mahrez and Slimani would get on against shit like West Ham.

Beginning to wonder if we'll even see Slim start again to be honest. He's never been given a fair shot when fit and I kind of get the impression we'll get rid ASAP if we can. Hopefully Whispering Claude will use him.

He looks cumbersome and has been given plenty of opportunities admittedly in a side that was not performing jury is till out IMO

I wouldn't say 14 league starts since last September qualifies as having been given plenty of opportunities. If he starts in the league cup it's in a disjointed side that don't click very well and he still scores goals in that competition.


Vardy has scored once in his last 6 starts (8 if you include England friendlies) and we have two very expensive alternatives sat on the bench. I think it would suit everyone to have some competition for places and a plan for using different types of players.

They're missing Hernandez and Antonio..... plus Moyes pushed they're only decent player, Lanzini, out on the wing against Watford.

I'll be disappointed if we don't win by at least two goals.

Shouldn't really matter who plays against this lot (Andy King aside)

From what I've seen recently, they are the most pedestrian, slow thinking clueless collection of players that I've seen in quite some time - any hint of a fast moving high tempo game from us and they will be stood around like statues.
The players don't appear to give a flying feck about anything and some of the (e.g. Arnautovic) are really, really awful
They play in a truly soulless horrible vacuum of a stadium
Their fans (if they turn up) openly abuse their lacklustre players throughout the game, genuinely despise the Club's owners and hated Moyes before he was even appointed
Moyes himself is a hopeless, clueless feck


So, err, 1-0 home win ?

Aye, a Mark Noble penalty following a foul on Andy Carroll probably.

 

[homer]

Lots of 7/4 around for us to win this

Even BN can't lost money tonight, surely ?

Any away game in this league can be difficult.

Hope we ****ing smash these though.

My money's on a home win.

You obviously didn't see Everton last night then.

Looks like there may be a terrorist incident going on in central London.

Bit early at this stage, but wouldn't be surprised if this put our match in doubt.

Much Ado About Nothing by all accounts. Oh wait, Shakespeare has gone, hasn't he? I'm always so late catching up with the pun chains.

There is no apparent incident but there is now tons of confusion and public transport will be disrupted in central London. Hopefully this won't affect anyone travelling from Leicester and getting the tube from Kings Cross St. Pancras to Stratford.

Good to see it's false alarm.

Back to the game. Chilwell on he left (if fit), Gray on the right and Mahrez central behind Vardy. West 'am would be shitting bricks from the off.

Doesn' he play for Palace?

Sadly, I think you are right. Basically, not a lot of difference between the two sides in results or individual strengths. Comments on how rubbish West Ham are and how we will stuff them are imo wishful thinking. We will need to play very well to win and the first 20 minutes will tell us much about whether we are up for it.

Exceptional. Take a bow.
