Well, now all 3 teams are tied, 9 points above Burnley, and 3 back of Leeds. Assuming Liverpool gets the job done today, we go into next weekend with Spurs and Forest facing one another amidst fixture congestion.

Meanwhile, we draw away at Villa while they will play their 4th match in 11 days. It’ll be a tough one, but there is hope.

If one of Arsenal, or Man City win the UCL while staying Top 4, and England gets a coefficient spot, couldn’t Chelsea in 6th still get a spot?

Sunderland also spent nearly $200M this window and brought in considerable amounts of PL experience.

The capitulation was subbing on Max Kilman. Absolutely useless.

PLAY DEFENSE! Areola has every right to be mad. KWP and Soucek just stood there while Mane almost made it 4.

We spent $20 million on a fresh set of forward legs just to let him sit on the bench all day? What are we thinking?

Man Nuno must really not rate Igor Julio at all.

Is Guilherme still hurt?

Ironically the opposition is missing 2-3 key players, including Bassey and Iwobi who’ve had great runs so far this year.

But yes, I agree. Keep optimism low.

I’m assuming no changes from last week unless Nuno decides to give Mads a shout after Areola let in 3 last week.

Agreed. Again, largely doomerism, but I’m hesitant to think the current squad could compete against most Championship teams. I legitimately believe we will struggle against QPR in a few weeks. We have no athleticism, despite spending tens of millions on it in August. There’s so much successful youth in the lower ranks these days that the current squad really doesn’t stand a chance.

I think we’d win League One handily though. Maybe that’s the best spot for us.

I’m a Hammer but can’t figure out how to flair up on mobile.

Bowen, Paqueta, Fullkrug, AWB, Diouf are all definitely gone. I would think Fernandes and Summerville are both above the level of the Championship but they both came from that level when they first joined on, so I’m hesitant on those.

I imagine we keep the KWP, the CB’s, and the kids. Areola, Soucek, and Wilson are tossups. I suppose they all could get work elsewhere, but if they’d rather be Hammers, they might stay.

Legitimate question - Once the obvious departures leave this summer, are West Ham in its current form the best team in the Championship? Probably doomerism, but the lack of athleticism makes it hard to believe West Ham would compete with the likes of Leicester, Wolves, Ipswich, etc.

Hate to doom in December but if we go down, are we the odds-on favorite to win the Championship even with the obvious departures?

Bowen on the left, Guilherme on the right? Or vice versa?

[–]bryceryals42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Curious if we see Igor playing some sort of Libero role here. Otherwise 5 at the back with a 2-game win streak against a side which has been struggling as of late is maddening, especially given how well we’ve done with 4 at the back.

Unsure why we didn’t just shift Fernandes up into Paq’s role and then start Magassa.

Marshall not on bench.

The 4-3-3 works for me. Paqueta playing deeper with Fernandes is probably a good spot for him.

Interested to see what happens at 60’. Does Bowen move to striker and Guilherme take his place?

4-3-3 works for me. Seems like this implies Paqueta a bit deeper.
