After picking up 4 points from our first 2 games which is quite pleasing, a trip to Brighton is one of the most horrible away game as Brighton is carbon-copy of Man City whom we NEVER win. I cannot see any improvement in result against Brighton as they are more stronger than free-spending Chelsea which I have more confident of us winning than Brighton. No matter what Brighton's top players leave to so-called big 7 clubs, they already have a ready made replacement and they are doing a lot better as this is NOTHING to do how rich or big the club is, the MATTER is the COMMUNICATIONS between the owner right down to the recruitment are all connected at Brighton, same as Brentford who discovered how Brighton did, Brentford followed as those 2 clubs are way above us now than they were in 2010. Brighton top player is Mitoma and he has similar ability as his former colleague, Trossard who played in same position. I hope West Ham will be ready and need to perform as they did in 2nd half against the plastics. No injuries at the moment with Paqueta got a heavy bumped in 2nd minutes but managing ok for the rest of the match so hopefully he will recover in time for the Brighton game. Hope he will not be guilty of betting. Aguerd is suspended for this match so less error in defence as Ogbonna will play as incoming new greek geezer may be on the bench if his deal done this week. Hope to give Avarez a start in place of Soucek who was so poor in 1st half and almost cost our game. I would give Fornals a start ahead of Benrahma as Benny frustrated me with his pool deliveries in attack.
Areola
Coufal
Zouma
Ogbonna
Emerson
Alvarez
Ward-Prowse
Bowen
Paqueta
Fornals
Antonio
We need to upped out game and NO SLOW START as we need to ATTACK Brighton from the off and be counted to have any chance of a single point or 3
Percentage of West Ham win: 10%
Percentage of Brighton win: 80%
Percentage of Draw: 10%
Hopefully I am wrong on percentage.
COYI!!!!!
