With our European dream over and now the only chance to try to finish 8th but with our squad so small, I can't see that happening as we got Palace (away), Liverpool (Home), Chelsea (away), Luton (home) and Man City (away ) so unlikely for us to get more than 3 points and likely to finish around 10th to 11th at best and Moyes was to blame for not getting players in January at least 2. West Ham played very well against Bayer Leverkusen at LS and the mid-way 2nd half shows our players are absolutely knackered and Moyes did the subs as usual, very late from 85th minutes that won't help the players fatigues. Away to Palace on Sunday 3pm than 2pm, will be very tough task after Palace buoyed over their famous 1-0 win away at the victims. They will be fresh and I can't see us getting anything from here, even with Paqueta and Emerson back, the rest of the squad are already tired out. It will be likely a repeat of Fulham last week but there is hope that we will perform excellent to get anything from this game to keep the 7th or 8th spot alive. I hope to see Areola back between the stick and that will give us a bit confidence. Aguerd is injured so expectee Mavropanos to return likely with Zouma which I hope Zouma will be ok for this match. All I hope for Mavro panos NOT to make costly mistake as he did against Fulham. Moyes could use Ogbonna if possible with Mavropanos if Zouma is fatigue.
Squad:
Areola
Coufal
Zouma
Mavropanos
Emerson
Alvarez
Soucek
Bowen
Paqueta
Kudus
Antonio.
This is looking a good line-up but the problem is fatigues that are costly. Hope Moyes can put some youngster in 2nd half BUT I don't want to see Moyes replacing the attacker with defenders mid-way 2nd half as that cost us so many points this season.
Result probable:
Crystal Palace win: 60%
Draw 30%
West Ham win 10%
That is largely cos we have a very small squad and tired legs all around otherwise if there is no tiredness, we can beat them as we did at Arsenal.
COYI!!!!
