West Ham vs Crystal Palace Line ups

Is Potter employing a 5-4-1?

How much does it take for our young academy pls to become established .
.

Looking like Kudus up front on his own. Emerson on the left flank. Alvarez holding on his own with 4 in front of him. I'll go with it!

taken a knock? not fit to play twice in a week? whatever the reason this is going to be another tough one

Yep certainly looks to me like a high press ??????

Kudos head gone down, or knackered? Not pressing or chasing back now!

He's a striker. Our only striker. A goal scoring track record striker and he should be STARTING today. If it's not working, you take him off. Until then, you give him a chance

Agree Dave, 3 at the back to Match up Palace, not working. Too congested in Midfield. Think Cresswell will come off and Ings on..

The second half cant be as bad surely

very short i would think!

we need players in Sullivan so stop fucking around

That’s what happens when you go direct. Three passes and it’s in the back of the net . Instead of this side, back, back, side we play. Let’s see some urgency, please.

Orford at last boys and girls!!!

Shape is better since the subs came on, but I’m not seeing any sense of urgency. All very pedestrian.

Players just are not good enough . Kudus is so light weight . Only turns on the magic obce in a blue moon. Need new players now

Palace were playing against eleven statues. Absolutely no movement off the ball. Also discipline has been poor all season. Only bright spot, Scarles looks decent.

They should have given everyone back their money when they were leaving in droves .

Potter needs to stop playing Rodriguez. Especially with Soucek and Alvarez. That never worked under Loppo. Soler is the pick of the midfield. Need Jimmy and Bowen back. I'd play Orford from the start and Scarles..

Dissapointing but expected. This is going to be a long hard few months to the seasons end. Unless the cash is splashed. Potter needs to call on his namesake Harry to work some magic.
The only good thing to come out of today's defeat ia Mavrapanos is banned.
Fabianski is becoming a liability and I think Father time has caught up with him. Potter needs to be brave and blood the youth. If there is no arrival of a striker. Ings must start. Better him than a square peg in a round hole. Graham Potter has 6 months to see who he wants to keep and get rid.

There's something fundamental wrong at this club ,we've all tried putting our finger on it ,in my own analysis it's the team balance, we don't have any ,take 5 or 6 out of that squad and your left with sub standard players who should be in the chumps ,I'm not goin to name them I think I've made my views clear in the past. I may be barking up the wronge tree ,who knows?, a lot of other fans have different views ,some say the training method is wronge, more say it's the way their set up ,and some think that we should finally bring in a heavyweight manager one and for all and not keep bringing in these cheap alternatives.
At the end of the day it's fekin hard to figure it out,all I know is I haven't seen such a disjointed display in years ,even the tv comentators were shocked, I mean not one shot on target ,I don't think thats ever been known before .Villa and forrest comming up ? ,another outing like that and it's goodbye from us .

The result was justified. West Ham very very poor today. Not even a proper shot on target. Then a deserved red for Mavropanos. What was he thinking after he was on a yellow and then decided to raise his boot that high when he had no chance of a contact with the ball?
But I question the referee's dishing out of cards to the other West Ham players especially as Hughes did not get even a yellow, though he did pull back and wrestle Kudus to the ground and prior to that made the same type of repetitive tackles with no attempt to play the ball. Poor officiating!!
