Match Thread West Ham v Leicester

[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan (c), Maguire, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, Albrighton, Iborra, Gray, Vardy

 

[Blaarev]

No changes

 

[Miles Away]

Shinji needs playing. Been mishandled so far.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Needed 'Just look at his face' to start to pull an early penalty as he wreaks havoc around the penalty area.

 

[homer]

Needed speed and movement against this lot

Shinji and/or Chilwell for me

Ho hum - will still be good enough to beat this shower

 

[frankw]

That looks like 4 2 3 1 to me with Mahrez in the centre of an attacking mid-field. Plenty of attacking options on the bench, so hopefully, we will score a few goals tonight

 

[Blaarev]

Or it’s just the same formation as last time

 

[frankw]

That is of course possible. I would expect the wide mid-fielders to be more attacking than last time. They had to defend a lot against Man C, but I suspect that they will be more attack minded this time. No matter what, this is a very attack minded squad, so I am looking forward to a victory by at least 2 goals to move us up to 9th.

Puel was certainly trailing Albrighton playing in the middle again in the Mercury

 

[sparky79]

Hope for a good win today.
I think if we give them the dicking they should get then we can try out Slimani/Iheanacho up front later on. Think those two could be dangerous as a pair in a 352

 

[homer]

It's 'the West Ham Show ' on Sky

FFS

 

[Brown Nose]

If we don't put Gray onto Zabaleta we're bonkers.

 

[frankw]

I hope that we don't see Albrighton in the centre of mid-field. With Mahrez on the right, they can man to man mark him out of the game. With him in the middle, who would be able to do that job. He would have too much room and too many attacking options.

 

[glyn]

Already not enjoying Arnautovic against Fuchs

 

[glyn]

They are looking far better on the ball so far. We needed to get a quick fast start to bring the crowd down

 

[glyn]

Yessssssss!!!!!!

 

[Micky]

Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jeff]

Nice

 

[popillius]

That defending though....

 

[Blaarev]

That was easy.
