West Ham United vs Swansea City - Championship

77 comments

Pablo is clearly not a striker. Put him back in midfield. Piroe is out of form but needs to start to get it back! He IS a striker. Taty? I don't know if I'm honest - good flashes here and there but just so inconsistent. BIG BONUS yesterday - apart from the points obviously was the defence - looked confident and secure and kept the top team pretty quiet!

Piroe or Taty must start, if we go with Pablo as our main striker we are in trouble, he’s not ranked 152nd in the Championship for no reason. Nuno is blind to it though. Big worry for me.

It’s a tough one - if you put Pablo back into midfield, then you have to drop one of Kante, Mukasa and Engels. And then when Piroe or Taty start at the moment, they are often a bit ineffective

Then you see Fullkrug absolutely lights out in the Bundesliga. Just typical

I think the 'toothless' criticism is missplaced. WE scored the crucial goal in a difficut game, and a team that is sitting on 30 goals after 11 games haa enough teeth by my reckoning.

Watching the highlights back, I think we deserve a lot more credit for keeping Swansea at arms length! They had all the ball but Hermansen didn’t really have a meaningful save to make I don’t mind us playing on the counter when we’ve got runners like Kante in the side

Again, not a great performance but a huge three points. Seems as though Nuno is gonna prove me wrong and we’re gonna a go up without too much of a struggle

Nuno resisted the temptation to over manage. That is the way back to promotion. Huge result.

Great tactical performance, despite Pablo being too slow & ineffective up front. Full marks to Nuno but please only use Pablo as a substitute….. if you must!

Here's our team to take on Swansea! What are your thoughts? 🤔

Pablo won't lose the ball, Taty and Piroe can only play with the ball in front of them and they both play too deep 😭

P

pwithey128d ago

Well he’s lost it both times it’s been played upto him in the first 14 mins…

C

cumberworth5728d ago

Nuno is clueless, Pablo ahead of Taty and Piroe, means we’ve got nothing up front! Disaster

Here's our predicted XI to take on Swansea! What changes would you make? 🤔

P

pwithey128d ago

Golumbekis for Killman…Piroe for Pablo… Soucek ok in that position but must drop in alongside the other two too make a defensive three when we are out of possession, we do need Piroe who is a proper CF to hold the ball up, Pablo has no first touch and loses the ball to often.

cumberworth5729d ago

I have to say I’m not confident but thats because I’ve been a fan for 60 yrs😂

C

chillout29d ago

Yes - me too. My first game in Upton Park in the 60s.

This is probably West Ham’s biggest match and biggest test of the season so far.

dantowen8195129d ago

The best defence in the league vs the best attack - something’s got to give!

Looking at the stats, Swansea are brilliant at high pressing. So we’ll need to be really composed in midfield, and make sure we don’t give the ball away cheaply in our own half I’d be tempted to start Mukasa alongside Engels then with Soucek/Kante further forward
