Dr_Pangloss Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can't help but think that central midfield will get over-run by the more powerful and tenacious West Ham midfield. That said I don't think West Ham have much in the way of fire power and their defence is weak so we have a great chance despite the absence of Gabby and Delph.

OutByEaster? Posted November 2, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think this will be more like a standard 442 with most of our play coming down our right hand side With who playing on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Why the negativity? I don't think the line up is that bad? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted November 2, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2013 coudl be 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 that team!!! depending on whether it's 3cbs with one of lowton or bacuna on the left, or if baker at left back whether bacuna is right side of a 4 in the middle or up in a 3 with weimann and benteke?!

piav_k4 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think starting line up v starting line up it's a very close match up. They are organised and will sit deep enough to combat a counter attacking strategy. No out and out front man for them could mean a comfortable afternoon for our back 4 providing we can shut off the threat down the wings and get them hitting direct balls through the centre. I don't think there's any need to overly press them - stay organised, stay on your feet and let them try to force something - They'll give you the ball eventually. I personally can't see us breaking them down and can see them perhaps nicking it with a set piece. If we create the chances we created last week, we'll win the game.

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Weimann would probably be the one to play on the left in a 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I don't think West Ham have much in the way of fire power and their defence is weak so we have a great chance despite the absence of Gabby and Delph. Sylla brings a lot of physical presence, and KEA has proven to be quite the tackler this season, so it might not be as bad as expected. What worries me the most is the lack of drive forward from midfield we'll without Delph, and how static we'll become. I think we'll see a lot of passing between midfield and defence then to see it get lumped up to Benteke. It wont be pretty. But I think we'll see this on through and win.

Cizzler Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Weimann would probably be the one to play on the left in a 4-4-2. Then who is up front with Benteke? I think we'll be 3-5-2. Not optimistic. Sylla has to contain Morrison if we're going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 No Delph or Gabby, not sure if this is 3-5-2 wing backs or something else. Our bench looks awful. was just thinking that, to be honest the sarting XI doesnt look great to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really rate Sylla, I don't think he's a particularly dominating presence in there, I don't think he's that good on the ball either and if you close him down quickly he's very likely to give the ball away.... hope to be proved wrong today though.

switters Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Mat Kendrick @MatKendrick28m Fabian Delph missing through illness, I believe #avfc Didn't Clark come down with illness a couple of weeks ago too? illnesses happen. shame Delph couldn't time his to coincide with the suspension he's gonna get after (I think) his next yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 No doubt Morrison is the danger man for them He's the type of " in the hole" midfielder that we always struggle to contain Television seem to think its 451 with Lowton RM and Weimann LM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 West Ham have a lot of injury problems as well. Can see this being a 0-0 with both teams happy for a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
