Hammers Chat

Positives :
Avoided the Scouse vermin and have the 2nd leg/s at home...that for me ..COULD make the difference.

negatives:
before the draw i viewed Marseille...Atalanta and Benfica as our 'peers' of the clubs left , and our best chance on paper .
all three are in the other side of the draw

Overall I'm happy enough with that.
Avoided the vermin
HOME FOR SECOND LEG/S
fuck it...what will be ..will be

Home leg will be a sell out and one of the great nights of European football. Followed by another tasty semi and then the scouse in Ireland. Home game for the victims.

The vermin will be the 'home' team in Dublin...

Fishy?

No shit..

But this is right up West ham alley...

They wouldn't want us in Dublin.....no sir..

If given the privilege we will go in numbers ..and will do each other proud.
That much I do know.

Interestingly Freiburg play Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Sunday. We shall be able to see whether there is any great difference between them that needs to worry us.

Indeed . Or at least the last half hour as I’ll , perhaps foolishly, be watching West Ham .

oh yes I didn’t look at the kick off time.

It’s on live on the Sky Sports app and YouTube channels apparently. There will be a rerun in the dead of night I imagine.

Not the best we could have hoped for but probably no easy ties left once you get to the quarters. At least the away leg comes first.

Indeed . And not a game to deem criticism of McDullard’s stock tactical approach.

It’s how the European games are played unfortunately.

Narrow defeat followed by a glorious attempt yet inevitable defeat in the return leg .

I predict many of us will be proud of the teams efforts afterwards .
Hope I’m wrong but as long as we manage to avoid any brain fart moments like Cresswell’s v Frankfurt etc I’ll be happy .

Freiburg 2 leverkusen 3 result today.
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility we could win this tie
Thoughts?

As long as we play with intent and don't rely on our defence cos our defence is pretty cak. I get the sunday league approach of keeping the keepers happy, Moyes done it last season, but Areola has played a blinder with some of the statues in front of him.

Agree, Areola must play against Leverkusen. The time for sentiment is not now.
