[TMDaines]

Had 10/11 then second guessed myself when I saw who was in the squad!

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

My eyes are burning at that spine. Hopefully West Ham are shite and we just sort of cruise through but I'm prepared to not particularly enjoy tonights performance

 

[Ayoba]

Sancho injured?

 

[top1whoisman]

TalkSport saying WH are putting out a weakened team seals it for me. Changes all round

Shows how much they know.

 

[FromTheBench]

Is Sancho out?

 

[DJ_21]

Where’s sancho tonight?

 

[Dazzmondo]

West Ham's strongest side minus Bowen (although considering how rubbish he's been this season maybe that's debatable). Not crazy about this much rotation tbh. Hope we don't lose this. Would love to add the FA Cup to our EFL Trophy

 

[Mike Smalling]

I don't understand how Bruno can continue to play every single minute.

 

[Alemar]

That’s a bit too strong. Moyes should have played reserves to save players for EPL

Especially when I had to listen to Martin Keown on Monday saying not to get ahead of ourselves as only the Carabao Cup, which is why a lot are now wanting City to overhaul Arsenal.

 

[Rustyspider13]

I'm slightly surprised EtH rotated the defense that much, but glad. It's time for the bench players to step up, especially in midfield. No rest for Bruno though, the machine rolls on. Hopefully we won't need Rashford.

 

[TMDaines]

I don't understand how Bruno can continue to play every single minute.

As far as feats of endurance go, footballers playing football twice a week for 90 minutes is way down the totem pole.

 

[MyBloodIsRed]

Where is Sancho? Hope he hasn’t caught the Martial flu and injured

 

[Judas]

Much stronger West Ham team than I expected, this might not be fun.

 

[Red Rash]

The lineup looks a bit dodgy but that's normal when you miss players like Martinez, Varane, Casemiro and Rashford. My first thought was that Bruno needs to get rested at some point. The number of minutes he is playing is insane.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Big statement, i think you're right on Varane but would expect the other 2 to play, absolute minimum expect to see Bruno start.

Only Bruno it is

 

[londonredmaniac]

Get the kids magurire and co out

ETH rotated. Interesting...

 

[always_hoping]

So the six changes

Out - Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Casemiro, Rashford

In - Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Sabitzer, McTominay, Garnacho.

 

[United Hobbit]

Maguire....

 

[Shark]

Happy with that lineup. Rotation done totally right.

It is always a risk. As you say Bruno is playing alot of football.

Interested to see how it pans out.

 

[Scorpy]

Would have been nice to have Sancho on the bench, hopefully it's nothing serious.

 

[top1whoisman]

That was an easy 11/11. Big job for our midfield to shield that defense. Let's go United!

 

[SirAF]

Happy with the rotation, it‘s much needed!

 

[Semper Fudge]

So the six changes

Out - Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Casemiro, Rashford

In - Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Sabitzer, McTominay, Garnacho.

Really should be enough if we're honest.

 

[Real Name]

Rest FC should be satisfied.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Good line up.

Bruno will play all of the football all of the time until the end of time

 

[Alemar]

Why was Sancho omitted from a match day squad?

 

[James35]

Think the big guns will come on to rescue us, That back line with McTominay shielding them must be like a wet dream to West Ham, luckily they have been rather shite themselves but I will not be at all surprised for us to be one down in first half.

 

[Hughie77]

I had 9 out of 11 put Heaton in and Sancho..like the changes it had to be, Hammers gone pretty strong I think. Get this game done in 90 mins with no cock ups . The players rested needed to be imo. Will miss Casimero and Rashford , others need to step up now. Garnacho to have a good game hopefully.

 

[Waynne]

Time for McTominay to put in a performance

 

[Hester_manc]

That’s a bit too strong. Moyes should have played reserves to save players for EPL

They do not compete in that many tournaments, so I can see why, we wants a strong line-up.

 

[waza7111]

 

[Siorac]

Great starting line-up. Hopefully we won't need Rashford at all.

 

[SirScholes]

Christ alive that 11 haha
The comedy defensive duo back together
Mctom and sabitizer first time together in a competitive match

Need some unlikely standouts today

can see a West Ham win

if ETH gets this team performing anything like the main 11 he deserves a knighthood

 

[always_hoping]

Strongest possible West Ham side is a surprise.

So Talk sport was talking nonsense about weakened West ham. Not a first for them to talk nonsense.

 

[Strats]

Hope to feck that Shaw is available on Sunday.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Glad it’s nothing major with Jadon. Hopefully Shaw’s injury ain’t too serious.

 

[Escobar]

Good that he rests some players before the Pool game. It might not get pretty tonight but it is the right call. League before FA Cup and we had a very tough fixture list recently

 

[SirScholes]

They shld be offended that we think it’s good enough to beat them haha
