West Ham United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Clampy]

Club cutting back on shirt-printing costs.

How come Downing hasn't got 'Twat' on the back of his?

[Richard E]

I think it is because he does not get on with his Dad (Morrison, not Downing.)

[Damo70]

Is it because his dad bought him all those sweets that made him lose his teeth?

[silhillvilla]

Doubtful - luna gabby Bennett .
Not good, no recognised Lb to mark downing.

[David_Nab]

Gabby /Luna /Bennet all out it seems

3-5-2 maybe Bacuna LWB ?

[silhillvilla]

Time to get lowton back in.

[bobdylan]

Baker left back for me.

[garyshawsknee]

Hopefully our Sylla will finally get a run out. Maybe move Bacuna into midfield and drop Westwood and KEA, and even Weimann, things need to be freshened up a little.

[eastie]

Will be interesting to see if he goes with baker or Clark at left back- I'd go for baker .

[l_mckay]

Think it'l be baker at left back,played there more than Clark.

[PaulWinch again]

I would have liked Bennett to play this weekend, shame he's injured.

[Legion]

No thanks. Hamster-bollocks would rip him to pieces.

[PaulWinch again]

People seem to forget that Bennett was improving a lot towards the end of last year. I reckon any winger worth their salt would slaughter Baker or Clark at left back, so at least Bennett offers something going forward.

I agree, so play him in left midfield.

Have we ever played a team that's playing 4-6-0?
