Oh I agree. Just making the point picking a player purley based on height is silly. Just imagine West ham targeting Alonso like Watford did, only having the likes of Fornals and Antonio to do it...

December 3, 20213 yr Tough game. Slight in the armor emerged in last week+, from injuries and just general feeling. Any Manager will have his side fired up to get in our face, and West Ham are no different. Fixture list does not help at all - Sun pm, Wed, Sat am - not the best run. We need a midfield that can get the ball on the floor and be mobile against a pretty physical side. Best I can hope for is Jorginho and Kante, or at minimum RLC and Jorginho. Time for our attackers to win some games.

Ahh he was against Mahrez/Salah a few times and we won too, people said the same thing that he will get trashed and nothing happened. It's not like teams always target Alonso's side (many examples say otherwise) and he only had two games so far with a subpar midfield, so maybe have some patience.Â

The only reason I would bench Alonso would be to rest him since he is our only fit left wingback. I honestly don't ever want to see Saul play for us in the premiership again , I don't care if it is midfield or wingback. He is a liability period. We could have saved money by Keeping Drinkwater instead of getting this guy

December 3, 20213 yr 52 minutes ago, The Don Antonio said: I guess ALONSLOW had the last laugh since he was involved in both our goals and not involved in the goal conceded Whilst I am not a fan of Marcos in this style of wingback as say compared to Contes style, I never understood why our own fans thought it was funny to make a stupid name for them like that. Certainly Marcos deserves more respect as he has been a really good player for us. I personally find it distasteful for any of our players to be referred to like this, whether they have been a good or top player or whether they have been a drinkwater, who has a few names like this. Either way not a good look.
December 3, 20213 yr This will be a tough game. And our main issue is that midfield as kante and kova are still out. the team I would like to see mendy Christensen silva rudiger james jorginho Ruben alonso mount lukaku CHO
December 3, 20213 yr What's the word from the presser then? Trevs situation? Any players back for this?
December 3, 20213 yr From the BBC -Â Says it is "massive" to have Reece James and Jorginho available for selection. "Reece is our specialist in that part of the pitch and Jorginho plays a central role for us";

West Ham are a counter attacking team, and they will be ok with him getting into duels with Zouma. I understand getting him fit for the Xmas run, but I feel Zenit & Leeds open style will suit him better . + We are a more fluid unit with Havertz up top.
December 3, 20213 yr If we don't pick ourselves up we're going to lose here comfortably. On a more positive note, James and Jorgi are back and that is a massive boost for us. Anyway, I'm hoping for this.                 Mendy     Christensen  Silva    Rudiger   James   Jorginho  Barkley  Alonso            Mount   CHO                Lukaku (Werner) Â

What has Pulisic done to deserve a starting spot I wonder?
December 3, 20213 yr could be the ideal game for a back 4. Westham’s strength is in the middle of the park we really need mason dropping in to help out. doubt it will happen but i would go mendy reece thiago rudi azpi rlc jorg mason ziyech lukaku callum not sure if Roms ready or deserves a start but we will need him just as much defensively against their set pieces.Â

December 3, 20213 yr Looking forward to this game. A tennis coach once told me the best way to improve is to play against players just a bit worse than you. Later on in the season spammers smaller squad will be an issue for them, already they have several players who have done more minutes than any our team.  Now though at their shop it will be full on. they are a good side but I think we can edge it.Â
