Fred was MOTM against Young Boys.Fred and Pogba would be suicide in this game. Fred is woefully out of form.
Yeah that game was bizarre.Can't afford a first half like West Ham away last season. The amount of luck that stopped us from being 4-0 down was absurd.
Its their best bet. Does any other top team turn over the ball in dangerous positions such as ourselves? I cant think of any. The joys of having elite CM/DM players.If Benrahma is out, and Antonio misses with the red, who's the attacking threat for West Ham?
6 of West Ham's 10 goals are from Antonio/Benrahma and they are also both West Ham's leading assist makers.
I feel like both missing is almost a guarantee for 10 man defence and hope they can capitalise on a mistake by us?
Need Pogba in midfield if that is the case.If Benrahma is out, and Antonio misses with the red, who's the attacking threat for West Ham?

Enjoy pal. Atmosphere will be amazing.Excited to be going to a match for the first time in years. Fortunately I can leave at 12 to get there, have a pre match drink with some old match going pals. Seeing Ronaldo too live, haven’t seen him since his last game.
Actually quite pleased to be off the thread for a few hours. Some of the comments have just left me deflated tbh, nice to be away from the nonsense for a bit
sure, but my point was more along the lines of "who do they have to capitalise on a mistake?" if they are both out.Even if they were fit, Moyes would be compact and wait for our mistakes. The blueprint against us is simple and effective.

Should be at all grounds really. But it’ll be particularly poignant at Spurs v Chelsea. Played at Chelsea but it was at Spurs he really hit the heights. Rightfully Spurs legendPresume there will be a minutes silence for Jimmy Greaves.
That's true. He landed at WHU because they and Spurs swapped him and Martin Peters. Still a legend. Sorry for him that he didn't get to play in the World Cup final, but it worked out for England.Should be at all grounds really. But it’ll be particularly poignant at Spurs v Chelsea.

Yeah that makes sense I think the line up will be:
It's just 2 midfielders, Fred isn't even a DM as such, he's a #8 Jack of all trades master of none. Their midfield is combative and that's not Pogba's strength.Tweet

Can anyone explain why we would need 2 dms against West hams 2 midfielders?
The two home games we got the job done. At theirs the 3-1 was filled with drama. Hopefully we won’t be as open at the back as we were in the first half. That was ridiculousYou can almost guarantee it won’t be pretty, just win.
Agreed. I went with McT starting, although that might be a tad early.I think Sancho will be on the subs bench today. Ole name-dropping him and saying he's getting used to the Premiership is likely an indication.
Ronaldo playing centrally with Greenwood on the right, Pogba on the left and together with Bruno orchestrating the proceedings. The unknown is between a choice of Mctominay, Fred or Matic.
Dalot, Donny will get a game on Wednesday. Although, there has been some chatter about replacing Wan Bissaka.
Mctominay or Fred are hardly your DM's. You can say they are both hybrids.Tweet

Yeh me too, I suspect it could be too early but if he’s ready then McFred does make some sense in this fixture.Agreed. I went with McT starting, although that might be a tad early.
When was the last time we didn't play 4-2-3-1? It will be 2 in front of the defense.The fact that Pogba may be there doesn't matter, that's Ole's way.He is not a DM, but when he plays there, he is far less dangerous for the opponentsTweet
