West Ham v Man City - Official Match Thread.

Kouyate will be a big miss unfortunately. He would have been the ideal counter to City's man mountain, Ya Ya Toure.

I predicted we'd lose against Liverpool and we won. So I'm predicting we lose this one 0-2.

Can you predict I don't win the lottery, please [/quote]

For a small, forget that, for a large percentage of any winnings you may enjoy I am quite happy to predict that you will not win anything by paying the Idiot Tax.

I didn't say anything about buying a ticket. I just want to win it

Sakho is 23/10 to score against Citeh while Valencia is favoured at 15/8.

Noble is 5/1.

I don't believe this for a minute but the author of the attached thinks Kouyate will be back this weekend :/ - view external link

OK, not sure it didn't like the link but the article said that reports from the 'treatment room' are indicating that Kouyate will be 'in the starting eleven' for Saturday

I think our first half failing against Burnley was not defending from the front...not a co-incidence that Downing and Morgan were rarely involved in the play that first 45 minutes.We were saved by the defense (and woodwork).We can expect that for 90 minutes from the likes of City unless we adjust our formation.

I think our best line up will not include Morgan or Zarate,allowing a midfield of Song,Noble and Kayoute winning the ball and feeding Downing and the two strikers,leaving the wide attack to the two full backs.This will not reduce our attacking options because all those midfielders are capable of getting forward.

The sheer gulf in class will mean they probably win...but the betting odds,probably we'll be about 5 -1 to win really means that we would be expected to win this fixture once every 7 or so games. So this might be that occasion.!

Gold was saying he might make it on Twitter.

Bench at best imo

[Taansend]

I'd be chuffed if he was ready.

Adrian
Jenkinson Ginge/Tomka/Reid (any two) Cresswell
Noble Kouyate Song
Downing
Valencia Sakho

Now I just need someone to say "With that team we'd be destroyed down the flanks"

[dagenhamJohn]

they are vulnerable at the back, problem is aguerro though...

to be honest our defence hasn't been as steadfast as usual this season, probably all that entertaining!

Neck on line

I think we will win 3-2. I think they will end the match with ten men

I know the game has moved on, mate, but a *** change during a match is pushing things a bit :/
