Is Mata injured?

Not without Lingardinho.

Didn't Ole said in pre Milan press conference that Rashford is still unlikely for West Ham? He even said something along the line that Rashford didn't train that day.

I have a feeling Rashford will play even if his arm is hanging off and he's on crutches.

He's something.

We just don't know what that something is, or how long the something will last (when he didn't play 2 weeks ago it was "a couple of weeks" so could be any time now) but yeah... it's something

Now west ham has a stronger side than us :lol:

. Next, I expect people will say Everton or leceister as well. Even with Rashford, Martial, and Cavani recently out, we still have a better side. Even though we are missing some top fire power upfront, we still have a strong team. A player we rejected in lingard has been one of West ham best attacking players. So, it is not like the current attacking players we have are worse than lingard since we let him go to West ham.

Anyway, if Bruno doesn't show up and Rashford isn't fit, I expect we draw. Shaw and Amad might gives us alternative attacking treat to Bruno, but Bruno has been the key to us getting positive results this season.

Shane88 · Mar 11, 2021

Fully fit and we win but we're very vulnerable now with injuries.

This will be a loss. Soucek will get 3 or 4, all from corners.

The Irish Connection · Mar 12, 2021

Not looking forward to this one.

Lingard would be starting for us on Sunday.

If Rashford is out then we'll be playing with Greenwood, James and Amad. Antonio, Benrahma, Bowen is comfortably better.

We have Bruno, we don't have a midfielder as good as Rice or a goal threat like Soucek.

We have a better defence.

Which part do you disagree with that's so funny?

ShinjiNinja26 · Mar 12, 2021

Tough game. Turn up like we did tonight and it’s 3 points to fecking Moyeseh.

A full strength Everton or Leicester would probably be as strong/ stronger then our patched up side on Sunday sans Pogba, Rashford, Martial, Cavani etc.

Their defence isn't bad (obviously not as good as ours but still) , sure some would argue Ogbonna is as good as any of our second centre backs... And Cresswell is having a really good season, probably only behind Shaw and Digne in the league.

Easily on the Leicester/Everton point. It baffles me how people can look at our side missing 4 key attacking players and still think we look better on paper than top 4 rivals.

I agree. I think Ogbonna is missing for Sunday though.

So we are missing Rashford, Martial, Cavani and Pogba? Pretty dire. Maybe it's a situation asking for Shoretire to get some minutes in the 2nd half and Bruno dropping to the #8 to increase the creativity and passing ability in the centre.

Thankfully that International break is near.

We could be out of 2 cups by then

I'm worried about this big time. I wish the international break was next week. If we get through these next 3 games unscathed, it'll be quite the effort. Our squad is a thin one quality-wise sadly.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Mar 12, 2021

Surely we'll see McNeil or Hugill on the bench, we are so thin upfront.

Hellboy · Mar 12, 2021

You know it will be a 0-0 borefest

groovyalbert · Mar 12, 2021

At least they won't have their best player.

Adcuth · Mar 12, 2021

Will ole trust amad to start given he scored tonight

always_hoping · Mar 12, 2021

Moyes team earned a deserved draw in Old Trafford last season and on paper Man United had a stronger starting 11 in that game than they will on Sunday.

West Hams last away game was a 2-1 defeat against Man City a game that even Pep said they deserved a draw from. So I can imagine West Ham will fancy their chances on getting at least a draw on Sunday.

Irwin99 · Mar 12, 2021

I'm thinking this might be a drab 0-0. I doubt Moyes will go all out for a win, even when we're weakened with injuries.

Foxbatt · Mar 12, 2021

does he have his Fellaini back from injury?

I'd keep him out of the squad so that cnut Mark Noble can't go and injure him.

el3mel · Mar 12, 2021

If we don't have Rashford, Martial and Cavani for this one then our only hopes will be a Bruno penalty.

RashyForPM · Mar 12, 2021

Henderson
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McT Fred
Greenwood Bruno Rashford
Cavani

Lindelof should play ahead of Bailly because I feel he’s a penalty box defender than Bailly, and Antonio only scores goals from inside the 18 yard box. Going by Ole’s word, Rashford and Cavani aren’t far and going by our insipid display last night, we really need them back. The rest of the team should not be contentious; it’s our best XI.

Prediction: 0-0, 1-0 if Rashford plays

croadyman · Mar 12, 2021

Really hope we could at least get a couple of players back for Sun because right now we are down to the bare bones in midfield and up front

Bobcat · Mar 12, 2021

Any chance Rashford makes this one?

Pretty light in attack right now...

Was touch and go if he'd make in according to Ole.

In any case a draw should be OKish result now because of our injuries

A draw is not okish its West Ham we’re playing . A draw throws us back in a top 4 fight if teams around us win

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · Mar 12, 2021

Down to bare bones. We should play 3 5v 2 and have both Shaw and Telles on the pitch. Play Bruno in the hole. James and Mason as a twin pairing . With Amad as striker option off the bench.

wolvored · Mar 12, 2021

I can see us losing this. No forward line and it will all be on Greenwood and Diallo's shoulders. Moyes will be up for this. They have also had a big rest compard to us.

I'm not sure you've looked at the table but West Ham are one of those teams around us. We are in a top 4 fight either way.

Noble’s a bench figure these days. It’s typically a Soucek - Rice pairing. I’m assuming Bowen or Lanzini come in for Lingard.

Think for West Ham it will be

Fabianski
Diop Dawson Cresswell
Coufal Soucek Rice Johnson
Fornals Benrahma
Antonio

OR

Fabianski
Coufal Dawson Diop Cresswell
Soucek Rice
Bowen Benrahma Fornals
Antonio

Devil may care · Mar 12, 2021

With the forward injuries we have maybe a 3-5-2 would be worth a try.

Grim. No chance that back 7 can progress the ball.

Good luck to Bruno James and Greenwood. Will be a long game for them

If none of our players are back Amad has to start. We've had enough troubles scoring in recent matches without voluntarily starting an extra defender.

DWelbz19 · Mar 12, 2021

Rashford is likely out, too. It has to a front four of Greenwood; James, Bruno, and Amad.

So if we beat the bestest team ever, we should have been able to beat A.C. Milan?

RedIan · Mar 12, 2021

Impossible to pick a team until there are some real injury updates on the strikers.
i thought we had a strongish squad but take out Rashford and martial and pogba and clearly we dont. Where’s VDB.???????
