[Albion] Tactics/Team for West Ham

[pigmanovich]

Didn’t realise we had tactics

Tictacs? Could I have one?

 

[Milano]

I would want a solid centre back pairing with two deep full backs. Both wingers have to be prepared to double up.

On that basis it would be;

Bart

Hinsh/veltman Dunk cashin/jpvh pervis

Minteh baleba ayari mitoma

Gruda/oreilly

Welbeck

That means adingra, Howell, tasker, march, gruda/oreilly, gomez, steele as most of the subs

Personally given West Ham are going to be physical I'd play Wieffer ahead of Ayari, who from what I've seen doesn't like the rough stuff much.

 

[London Irish]

If Veltman & JPvH are both out..

Rushworth
Wieffer, Dunk, Baleba, Estupinan
Hinshelwood, Ayari
O'Riley
Gruda, Welbeck, Mitoma
​

Verbruggen and Minteh need a kick up the arse. And still think Gomez is a bit of a liability

Not being a hyper regular here I’ve missed this change of sentiment on Gomez. The last discussion I remember on him was he was a good signing with very promising passing range. What’s he done wrong again in the interim?

The guy who keeps lying down holding his face?

 

[Swegulls]

I'd go with Ayari over Wieffer every day, I think he's tougher than people think.

Given i think we need to break faster from midfield i think ayari gives us that more (as does gomez).

Meh

Not sure about what’s he’s done wrong but I generally prefer him off the bench for the last 30. He hasn’t got the legs for 90 minutes and seems to have more of an impact coming on as a sub.

 

[Lethargic]

Move the ball faster than the snails pace seen recently.

 

[Happy Exile]

Trust the process with intensity.

 

[Swegulls]

Fine anyone £1000 each time they pass Dunk or Cashin.

 

[singing4seagulls]

Verbruggen
Wieffer, Dunk, Baleba, Estupinan
Hinshelwood, Ayari
Minteh, O'Riley, Mitoma
Welbeck

If JP is fit, Beleba replaces Ayari in midfield.
Likewise Veltman if fit replaces Wieffer.

Think this is best we can do.

Thoughts?

pining for Miami ...

 

[Deadly Danson]

Move the ball faster than the snails pace seen recently.

This. 1000 times this. For the love of God stop waiting until the defence is set to finally get the ball in the box. Drive forward, keep it moving, don't overcomplicate things, shoot.
Quite why I haven't been made head coach I have no idea!

Verbruggen

Welbeck

That looks the likely lineup.
And frankly it should be good enough to beat West Ham.

Also Danny likes scoring against West Ham, so he will finally make 10 for a season tomorrow!

It also gets the crowd going, should be a good atmosphere at the start which will soon stop if we keep passing backwards.

 

[singing4seagulls]

Verbruggen
Wieffer, Dunk, Baleba, Estupinan
Hinshelwood, Ayari
Minteh, O'Riley, Mitoma
Welbeck

Thoughts?

JP confirmed out.
Veltman an option.

So:

Verbruggen
Veltman, Dunk, Baleba, Estupinan
Hinshelwood, Ayari
Minteh, O'Riley, Mitoma
Welbeck

Loads of potential and much better going forward, just don't think he's up to speed defensively yet.

At fault for Villa's route one goal at the Amex earlier this month. Generally looks a bit headless when he comes on. He definitely has a role to play in the run in but maybe not as a starter in this one..

 

[oneillco]

My tactics
Score more goals than West Ham .

Endorsing your tactical approach and based on what I've seen in recent home matches I would be encouraging our players to KICK THE F**CKING BALL HARDER WHEN THROUGH ON GOAL...

 

[Milano]

Did he mention Igor at all?

I've wondered for a while now why do managers give away who is fit or not 24 hours before the game? Why would we tell West Ham that Mitoma is fit to start? Let them find that out 75 mins before kick off.
