Noble , Wilshire are just not doing it , which is no surprise , Obiang when on just doesnt do anything for me or the team , that leaves Rice and Sanchez , who I would pick . Yes we still havnt found our best setup yet , should Anderson play on the left or in the middle , should Arnautovic play up front or just behind or on the left , should Perez play up front or just behind . And who should play on the right Antonio or Yarmolenko , just not Snodgrass . And then we still have Masuaku who could play on the left because he aint no Left Back . I think the only position we dont really have concerns is in goal , which was a position many thought should have been left in the hands of Adrian .
I agree that Obiang last season did nothing to justify his inclusion, but the same could be said about the whole of our midfield imo. However imo the Obiang of 16/17 was arguably one of our best players that season. It does appear however that Pellegrini doesn't rate him because we've only seen him for 45 minutes in the Mickey Mouse cup. I said at the start of the season I would play Rice & Obiang along with Wilshere in midfield. Although when I said that I hoped Wuilshere would provide a bit of flair and imagination which has so far been totally lacking from his performances.
So I guess we'll have to see what information leaks out, won't we.
Got to say I wanted Wilshire to succeed but he just doesnt appear to have anything to offer , which is something I was afraid of when I heard we could get him , at least he was on a free ( and now injured , who would have thought) . Still surprised we didnt get in a top notch holding midfielder and a ball player . Maybe Anderson could be that ball player from deep as Lanzini could , He doesnt mind doing some of the graft either from what I have noticed .

Whilshire hasn't had much back up in the middle to be fair. He is not a holding midfielder and given the fact that Anderson and snod are keeping wide he has a lot of space to cover going forward and back. The system is killing him stone dead! Put 2 holding THEN Jack in front of them and yul get the best out of him.
Lets see how the 2 ( If Pelle keeps that system) do against Everton.

We need players to be brave on the ball, and aggressive of it. Far to soft of the ball and we are not very imaginative on it. Cmon West Ham do the toffee cunts.

Love,peace and harmony to all Hammers.
Fuck the board.
If and hope Hamilton wins the Singapore grand prix and now Simon Yates now almost certain to win the Vuelta a España title in cycling. Could be a grand Sunday
Despite going into this game with 0 points and 4 straight to defeats... I'm strangely a little bit confident about today. I'm hoping they underestimate us and we play like we can. With all their injuries, this is a great opportunity!
even a point would do me today
