West Ham United 1:1 Manchester United

Niall · Jul 22, 2014

VS

Stadium: Upton Park
Date: Sunday 8th February 2015
Kick-off: 16:15 GMT

U99ted · Feb 3, 2015

No Carroll, Reid or Collins for this one. Hopefully we give Jenkinson more nightmares.

Paolo Di Canio · Feb 3, 2015

Could be a vital 3 points considering Arsenal/Spurs/Liverpool playing eachother soon

Raw · Feb 3, 2015

Hoping to see:
------------------ De Gea
Valencia -- Smalling -- Rojo -- Shaw
------------------- Blind
-------- Herrera ------- Fellaini
----------------- Di Maria
-------- Rooney --------- Falcao

charlenefan · Feb 3, 2015

Team should be...

------------De Gea------------
Valencia--Jones--Rojo--Shaw
-------------Blind-------------
-----Fellaini------Di Maria-----
------------Rooney--------------
---------RVP-----Falcao---------

Subs: Valdes, Smalling, Evans, Young, Herrera, Mata, Januzaj

Swap Herrera for RvP and put Rooney on the right and that's what I think we'll see.

Yeah can definitely see that happening, still I can always hope!

That is great because it will reduce the airial bombardment.

bosnian_red · Feb 3, 2015

Tough game, would be huge if we win for our confidence going away from home. Not the end of the world if we draw, but not ideal of course. Wouldn't be surprised to see a similar lineup to the one out today, just Jones and Valencia in the back 4. Ideally I'd like to see this:

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Rojo Shaw
Herrera Blind
Mata Rooney Di Maria
Van Persie

But that's unlikely.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Feb 3, 2015

Tough game.

I think there is a chance we are gonna revert to 5-3-2 if Young is fit to play.

With Young:

-----------------DeGea--------------
---------Jones-Smalling-Rojo-------
Valencia---------Blind--------Young
----------Rooney-----DiMaria-------
----------vPersie-------Falcao-------

Without Young:

------------DeGea----------
Valencia-Jones-Rojo-Shaw
-------------Blind----------
-----Rooney-----Januzaj/Fellaini--
-----------DiMaria---------
----Falcao--------vPersie--

I think he will come on as a sub. tbh. I think he might start against Burnley a few days later though, or we are actually risking someone getting injured. Of course these players have to get through this weeks training first before we ever pick a team for West Ham.

podurban2 · Feb 3, 2015

I think we will do something similar to the Leicester game:

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Shaw
Rooney Blind Januzaj
Di Maria
RvP Falcao

Subs: Wilson, McNair, Young

If we win this in a confident manner I think we will start to become very optimistic about a top three, and rightfully so.

Swap Januzaj with Rooney and put Fellaini in for him and this is a 3-5-2 I wouldn't mind giving a go.

It may backfire, but it did its bit against Arsenal.

Gerald G · Feb 3, 2015

Herrera won't start so I won't even bother with that.

De Gea
Valencia--Smalling--Rojo--Shaw
Fellaini--Blind--Di Maria
Rooney
Falcao--van Persie

subs: Valdes, Jones, Rafael, Herrera, Januzaj, Mata, Wilson

It will be this or a 3-5-2 I think.

De Gea
Jones--Smalling--Rojo
Valencia--Blind--Rooney--Young
Di Maria
Falcao--van Persie

matherto · Feb 3, 2015

3-5-2.

Boycott · Feb 3, 2015

Put Rooney back as striker in place of Robin van Persie.

---De Gea---
Valencia - Rojo - Smalling - Shaw
---Blind---
---Fellaini--Di Maria---
--Mata--
-Rooney--Falcao-

Offside · Feb 4, 2015

De Gea

Valencia
Rojo
Smalling
Shaw

Blind
Fellaini
Di Maria

Mata
Rooney
Falcao

1-3.

Stack · Feb 4, 2015

Please start Herrera and play Rooney up top. If Rooney is played up front he will score goals. If Herrera starts he will create scoring chances for our strikers.

hbgreg · Feb 4, 2015

Rafael played 90 minutes in the u21's right? He might play if we go 4 at the back.

I would gladly take a draw if offered now. It's an away game and West Ham are no pushovers. Heck, we cant even beat Cambridge away not long ago.

I disagree. They aren't pushovers, but to consolidate 3rd we need to start winning away from home. With Arsenal and Liverpool away at their local rivals, this is a great chance to possibly gain 2-3 extra points on them.

The last 3 'big' games for them they have lost. Andy Carrol's random patch of form has disguised their actual form, and he's not even playing. They're not that good. We'll smash them.

Don't be ridiculous, we should be beating them. Like we should of beat QPR away(who picked up all their points at home) and did.

With Young back in the team, it is time for the 3-5-2... No more twitching a**

Quite a derby day on Saturday actually. First North London, then Madrid, then Merseyside.

ivaldo · Feb 4, 2015

I don't care what formation we play as long as we keep the tempo up.

soapythecat · Feb 4, 2015

Play the diamond and we will win. Team seems to be playing with lots of confidence and fluidity.
Will be interesting to see who gets the FB slots.
