Shifting Kante from CDM where he's shined is very, very odd to me. Surely we risk disrupting his rhytmn and great form in that position by having him play a different role.

This line up is a joke... lampard is all out of ideas

Werner on the right again ????

Would rather that than him on the left. Haven't really got anyone else to play there. Anjorin very inexperienced, CHO just came back from injury and made the bench. 

Yeah not keen on the lineup, although I know Frank has to make some changes given our current state. But Jorginho and Kante? Ehh, no, don't like it I have to say. 

I'm surprised to see Jorginho in over Kovacic

Not me, we need that passing ability, specially since James isn't there to put up a good cross.

He had an end product while having a more free role, our press works better too. Nothing unusual for Kante, if anything he's going back to what he used to play for the majority of his career.

Fabianski to have a Lev Yashin, Neur, Buffon, Banks day to day guaranteed.   At least we have some pace up front and hopefully Tammy can run the channels and pull them out of position. 

Very odd selection, if we screw this up, FL will be under fire...

And if we win, will we see you on here afterwards or? 

The lineup is worrying. 

Not a line up to make many happy on here. Let's see how it goes.

Good to see CHO back even if it is only on the bench at least...lose this one and it could be curtains for FL...especially with good quality, experienced managers out there looking for work...

That will happen if our strikers decide to shoot the ball straight at the keeper every time

No Antonio for West Ham

I sort of knew Jorginho would be in tonight, after past two games it was clear we needed to change something. 

I trust Lampard and remain hopeful it will pay off.

Pray I am wrong but Werner is pretty useless on the right. If CHO is fit enough to be on the bench (he is fit going by his social media posts), then he starts to at least give us some balance up front. If not then as much as I hate seeing him on the flanks, shift Mount on the right. He could have also drafted someone from our U23 team into the 1st team. Klopp started Rhy Williams against Kane, so it really isn’t an excuse. 
Hope I am wrong and we don’t see him switching flanks and trying to swing crosses in again.

Brilliant. He’s a nightmare.

We haven't exactly inundated the keepers in the last couple of matches. 

Hopefully we actually work Fabianski today.

Werner is useless on the wings full stop. At least with Pulisic you can get the best out of him on the left side. 

Can't really say which wing the wingers will be playing on before the game because Frank always interchanges them in the game. 

All my hopes are on Pulisic today, I think Werner on the wing, Tammy etc. will just be a smokescreen for him.

I’ve cracked open my first beer. 

Annoying that Wolves lost to Burnley. These small teams only turn up for the big teams
