Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 (edited) On to the next one then... 2 changes, I'd think - Morgan in for JWP and Gardos in for Targett, if his head injury means he's ruled out.

Smirking_Saint Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Theres not a lot of difference between Davis and JWP for me right now, Davis slightly pips him. But yes its good to have both morgan and Vic back, not that I necessarily see a game against WHU as requiring a formidable midfield considering their ability to byepass it. Yoshi is solid but not as dynamic going forward, I personally think Targett will be ok and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi is solid but not as dynamic going forward, I personally think Targett will be ok and play I'd go with that. West Ham seem to have been going backwards slightly with Carroll and Nolan back. Whether they will play on weds I have no idea Creswell is a great full back. Song has been very good for them as have Downing, Valencia and of course sakho. Morgan and vic back is huge In a way, it is good we have a week and a bit off after this game, should allow us to clear up a few knocks and toby will be back I wonder if the team will go away for a few days next weekend?

SNSUN Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Morgan and Vic protecting the back four, and attacking trio of Mané, Elia and Tadic behind Pelle is what I'd like to see, but I wonder if it's too adventurous. No Davis (who has good industry) and no JWP (who has a few assists recently) could be costly, but with our first choice central midfield I reckon we'd batter West Ham. Can't see past a Saints win though, and we can't afford any more Swansea type slip ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Can't wait for the Sham v Manure match today. i don't want either to win for obvious reasons. A hard 0-0 draw will do nicely, so that we face an exhausted opponent on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 When Koeman was asked in the post match interview whether Wanyama going off was tactical or enforced, he said both VW and Morgan "aren't ready for 90 minutes yet and the same applies to the game vs West Ham" (or words to that effect). As such, I'm guessing he'll start with Morgan this time and have Big Vic on the bench. So, the line up would be: Forster Clyne - Fonte - Gardos - Yoshida JWP - Schneiderlin - Davis Mane - Elia Pelle Sub's: K Davis, McCarthy, Reed, Wanyana, Tadic, Seagar, A.N. Other U21 player P.s. I assume the new Serbian fella isn't ready yet? (Work permit and match fitness?) P.p.s. is there an outside chance Alderweireld might make the bench for this, despite Koeman saying he won't be back until after the WH game?

benjii Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Is there a case for 352 again? We know we will need to play three CBs, even if we play a back four so it seems logical. Also allows Mane to play more centrally. The dilemma would be wing back. Clyne on left and Davis or JWP on the right? Probably too disruptive but I'm sure Big Ronnie does think about these things.

It'll be different to last season when they played for a 0-0 borefest. Schneiderlin and Wanyama key in this. Pelle needs to improve on his QPR performance and get more involved as he'll also be key.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 West Ham look very tired to me, there was nothing in the tank for the last 20mins.

They were a bit walking wounded come the end, added to the already busy treatment room they have. Never going to be an easy game, but I think it's as good a time as any to play them.

Professor Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Our win at Upton Park might be too early season to indicate how things will go in the home game but we are playing a side that has just managed to draw at home against a team that we beat away from home. OK, so that sort of form isn't reliable, but we are a better team than them so we really should expect a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they play decent stuff, with quick, exciting strikers, and they seem to get the ball to Song and Downing's feet when they can. I would rather they did well than the 'big teams' just below us - Man U, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool. Don't get me wrong, I hope we smash em on Wednesday, but if they finished 5th just behind us, would have no problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
