We need the three points tomorrow!
Any ideas on the team people would like to play?

I know everyone will be thinking of dropping Jonas and Tiote, but will AP?

My team would be:
GK - Elliot

RB - Simpson - would play Mbiwa but he has played terrible the last few games
CB - Colo (cpt)
CB - Taylor
LB Hadria (spelling)

CDM - Biggie
RM - HBA
LM - Gouffry

CAM - Cabaye

ST - Cisse
ST - Ameobi

Subs
Tiote
Harper
Simpson / Mibwa
Jonas
Campbell

Just seen that we actually have no full backs, play Mbiwa LB and pray to god he doesn't make a mistake. Or there is always Anita?!

Haidara's injured
Sissoko not even in the squad?
Taylor has been just as bad maybe even worse than Yanga Mbiwa but he gets it easy because he's a Geordie.

He will play Jonas at left back. Pardew must be thanking his stars that haidera is injured so he can play Jonas.

Pardew doesn't players to their full extent, I'm mean we have santon out haidara, r Taylor. Instead of playing Jonas at left back which will happan. Anita used to play left back for Ajax. They scout these players but seem to play to their weaknesses

Bigi is a more creative player and doesn't have the strength to play cdm alone

This would never happen because of pardew (but maybe martinez would try this if he were here) but would like to see this for west ham

Just a thought.

So with three games left in our position you would play a completely different formation that AP has only tried once, at Stoke in his first season, and we were dreadful. Get a grip and have a word with yourself.
If anything we should go back to basics and 4-4-1-1 as that is what West Ham United will use and let’s face it they won’t be trying to outfootball us like Liverpool did.

Elliot
Simpson Taylor Collo Anita
Obertan Tiote Cabaye Jonas
HBA
Cisse

Why Obertan and Jonas? Because last season when we were solid they both played and really help the defenders and let’s face it they need help and we have to stop teh crosses coming in otherwise AC will dominate Taylor and Collo. Just let Benny go and play and cause havoc against West Ham United big slow defenders.
Spire Toon

2nd post, you are utterly clueless and don't have one bit of faith in our team, apart from how you think obertan and jonas will have man of the match performances, which is beyond me.

Spire Toon here. If you think I am utterly clueless then at least qualify your comments. By the way did I say Obertan and Jonas would be MOM? How do you get 2 MOM in the same match anyway?
So you think playing wingbacks against team that has wingers and overlapping fullbacks to cross for big strikers is a good thing then?
How dare I have a loss of faith in our team you are quite right, after all they have been excellent all season, hard to beat, defensively sound, creating and taking chances and our away performances and results have been truly wondrous! Therefore why would I consider picking a side and formation similar to last year when we WERE excellent, Were hard to beat, WERE defensively sound, DID create and take chances and WERE good away from home?

For me Elliott will be shell-shocked after the last two and a half games so would go for Harper in goal

Harper

Taylor Mbiwa Colo Hadiarra

Tiote Bigi

Cabaye

Gouffran BHA

Shola

Shola can hold the ball up for Gouffran and BHA coming through. Tiote and Bigi to break up the play and free Cabaye to play his passing game. Let West Ham worry about our front line instead of us dropping a whole team back to defend their front line. Nolan has no pace and the West Ham defence is one paced.
