AEK Larnaica vs West Ham Official Match Thread

[Ibbyham]

Back to Europe and AEK Larnaca is one of the toughest and top side in Cyprus and they will give us a very rough ride. We need to improve especially our defences as major reinforcement required this summer. I would keep Zouma and Coufal rested for this games or they can come in 2nd half for 20 minutes or so to be ready for the Aston Villa games.

Areola

Johnson
Kehrer
Aguerd/Ogbonna
Cresswell

Rice
Soucek
Downes/Paqueta

Bowen
Ings/Scamacca
Fornals

Hope we can bounce back and get our confident back.

COYI!!!

[Clayton]

Really don't want to see Soucek starting , Fornals out wide or Cresswell at LB . As far as formation goes lets play 2 up front maybe a 3-5-2 , lets be progressive
Areola
Kehrer - Zouma - Aguerd
Coufal - Paqueta - Rice - Fornals - Cornet ( if we can find him )
Scamacca - Ings

Looking at our back line doesn't inspire too much confidence Ibby.....

Johnson was diabolical yesterday ( as we're the others)

Kehrer has been directly responsible for at least 5 goals scored against us in the short time he has been with us

Aguerd ...... responsible for 4 goals scored against us in the last 2 matches

Ogbonna.. bless his cotton socks.. best of a bad lot, but too slow

Cresswell.... again too slow and too easy targeted.

I don't know fuck all about AEK Larnaca but I do have vivid memories about Astro and after yesterday's showing fear the worst.

I'll be honest.

I don't give a toss.

Cornet has been found. He played 45 minutes in the U21 game on Friday night. The U21s with the great man went one better than the first team losing 0-5.

And imo anyone expecting an easy ride on Thursday is in for a shock.

[Newmarket]

The only shock will be if we win .

Bit like the Spanish Inquisition nobody expects it now.

We really SHOULD win easily,but there is a but.

The but is Moyes.
