All 20 of those could happen and Milesy would still be droning on about the positives in the post match interviews
 
Muani

Tel ---- Xavi----Odobert

Palinha ---- Conor

VdV -- Danso -- Romero -- Djed

Vic.​

Probably the strongest team we can put out, given the circumstances.

That double pivot

From West Ham's point of view this is one of the games they will see as an easier one for them to win.

They are desperate for the points.

They will also know what Frank is likely to ask the players to do.

Go out and try to not lose the game rather than go out and just bloody win the game.

West Ham will fancy this in my opinion.

I hope for the best but fear the worst.

If Spurs score first we will not try to get a 2nd.

If Spam score first they will low block, counter attack and frustrate the crowd.

We need to get after them and batter them.

I doubt Frank will do this.

Ever.

Yep, show West Ham respect but go for the jugular, without being reckless, and no fcuking giveaways.
 
I'm going to be positive here, really can't see us losing this one. Should be a much better atmosphere (inside the ground) due to the Gallagher signing. West Ham are atrocious right now, think we'll win it 2-0.
 
Porro has been shite for ages but keeps getting picked for some reason!

My theory is he has a clause that when he is fit he has to play.

I also think his histrionics and poor form have more to do with Romero and Bentancur's new pay deals than anything else.

If Porro contractually has to play, and (deliberately chose) to give less than 100%, until he got better remuneration or a transfer, he is holding quite a strong hand.

If this is actually the case, the Club are in an even worse state than I thought. To agree to that kind of clause in a contract is quite incredible.

Easily the most thought you’ve put into a post so fair play.

I doubt that, to be honest.

He is played because we have no depth at LB and so his cover (Spence) is not able to actually cover him.

He is also played under Frank specifically for his ability to send crosses in all day.

I dont think its any deeper than that
