Controversial but I would rest Watkins as it’s only one game from the break and pull him out of the internationals.

That’d be a good way to torch his goodwill towards the club.

revised team.

---------- Martinez ----------
Cash Konsa Torres Digne
---- Luiz -- Tielemans ------
Bailey -------------- Zaniolo
-- Diaby ------ Duran ------

Watkins will surely be ok to start?

I wouldn't be against some version of 433 either. No way to Zaniolo

Martinez
Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne
Iroegbunam, Luiz, Tielemans
Bailey, Watkins/Duran, Diaby

Don't think we have any chance of keeping a clean sheet but that front three should be dangerous. Midfield looks weak
i've assumed Watkins isn't available

Very glad you're not the manager

That’s just a fcuking stupid thing to say isn’t it when you think about it.  He got injured on Thursday there’s one game left before a break so it maybe good to be cautious as I think Duran can give them problems.  No goodwill torched no silly fcuking jibes about me not being the manager just another persons viewpoint.

Watkins will play at any costs. Every game is ridiculously important now.

At some point we are going to have to give Irogbunam a start and let him sink or swim.
He can play alongside Pao, Rodgers and MacGinn.

Crikey! He hasn't shagged your bird or cat, has he?

I’m saying nothing!  But a parrot might have been involved oh that bird.

West Ham seem to alternate between a Moyes In game and a Moyes Out. They're due an 'Out' after twatting Freiburg so hopefully we win.
