We aint gonna score 3 goals
The team pretty much picks itself given all the injuries:
Vic
Porro Romero VdV Spence
Palhinha Gallagher
Odobert Xavi Tel
RKM
If Solanke's fit I'd like to see him play up top instead - RKM's been getting on my nerves - but guessing he'll come off the bench after 60-70. Probably wise to not throw him straight in.
Only other thing I'd consider is playing Davies at LB given he's put in a couple of decent performances recently, but Spence on form is better.

Ha ha . Yeah I’ve been optimistic there which isn’t like me
Forget Maddison tbh. If he come back to form in 2027, treat it as a surprise win
You could well be right. A stinky 0-0 without a shot on target or worse still without having a shot at all.
Unlikely against West Ham, though

This is nailed on now isn’t it?
Only thing that could be even more likely is Gallagher in the 10 and Simons shunted left after his best performance yet in the middle
Spece on form isnt better. Hes been dreadful. I would push him to right back for once and play davies. Porro has been absolutely dreadful. Spamming crosses onto a defenders head doesnt make up for defensive deficiencies
We should go into this game with the mindset that it's a 'must win'
Unfortunately I can see Frank thinking it's a 'must not lose'

How dare Xavi look good at attacking, he must be punished
And Tel will be dropped, having never been forgiven for passing forward that time
1-1. Got to the stage i just cant see us winning any game. Make mistakes at the back and absolutely powder puff up front.
God we're fucking shit aren't we?
Who knows what goes on inside Franks head ?
Dont think he does sometimes !
I think we will win 3-0. They are so bad. Bowen looks disinterested,Paqueta wants out,defensively they are horrific and look doomed. We can put another nail in their coffin.
On the flip side to that Frank must pick the correct team a d send them out there aggressive from the start.
Back four of Porro Romero VDV Ben(fuck me). Paulinha sitting with Gallagher buzzing about all. Xavi in the 10 with Tel and Odobert wide. Muani up top.

We must not lose more than we must win.
I don't think it will be 3 each, mostly on the basis that neither manager id particularly attack-minded.
Think it will be a tense affair, with us having more of the ball, but susceptible to West Ham breaking on us.
I suspect Gallaagher goes straight in, alongside Simons and Palinha, to scurry and hopefully to provide some calm.
