Who’s staying up for this one?

Not you I hope, you're cursed!

[Dogtanian]

Haha. I’m going to this one, but I’ve retired my Adidas shirt.

[Dante Lavelli]

All this Luiz chat, makes me hope that Onana is his inverse where an average 8 becomes an excellent 6.

Who’s staying up for this one?

Is this game on late tonight in a faraway land? I thought it was on in Walsall and over before midnight.

Ahead of our game against Athletic Club Bilbao, supporters are advised that the M6 northbound between Junctions 7 and 10 is subject to a full overnight closure tomorrow night for planned maintenance.

An outside lane closure will also be in place on the southbound carriageway between Junctions 7 and 10. Both of these closures are due to begin at 8PM.

Signed diversion routes will be in place and supporters travelling north after the game are advised to join the M6 at J10.

More information about how to travel to the Bescot Stadium is available at the link below:

Duran?

What's our first X1 for West Ham looking like at this stage? Duran and even Carlos look they are in the departure lounge. Onana + 1 in the midfield it looks like, might be only spot up for grabs really. Think Emery might mind Ramsey a bit over the first few games. We look very light for CB options.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Onana, Barkley/Tielemans, Bailey, McGinn, Rogers, Watkins

Subs from Ramsey, Buendia, Olsen, Maatsen, Moreno (might be on way out), Kosta, Enzo, I-J, Jaden, Dobbin, Archer (on way out?)

Duran?

Yeah, the 4 finalists were meant to be back.

The only missing players are Mings (Injured) Duran (assume he will be gone by then)

I think the bench has been overall strengthened compared to last season but

Kosta
Enzo
I-J
Jaden
Dobbin

Very little, if any at all premier experience in most of the bench.

For all our business still need another RCH and another attacking player until i feel a little more confident.

And (this is my opinion only) Onana was targeted to play along side Tielemans who him self was planned to replace Luis a while back, as i think the club knew of his intentions to leave once he did not sign a new deal.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Nice to welcome our Basque Buddies back, even if it is to Walsall.

Errm, and Kamara!!!

[Risso]

Kamara might only play half the season though, at best, so we almost need to forget about him until after Christmas.
