saint77 Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Hearing Ings is rested for City which is just madness. He’s just come back after 5 weeks out with hamstring make good sense to me not madness
egg Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 He’s just come back after 5 weeks out with hamstring make good sense to me not madness Yep. Gotta rotate with all these games. I fancy Gabbi for the Armstrong role and Obafemi up top.
Saint Pete Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 He’s just come back after 5 weeks out with hamstring make good sense to me not madnessYeah, I guess you would have to go with whatever Ralph is seeing in training. Ideally you would want Ings in this one rather than City but if it's too much of a risk injury wise then not worth pushing him too hard. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
striker Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 I suspected there would be a rotation today. The way we have been high pressing, no way some players could put in 3 string matches in 8 days. I expect that Austin and Long will get in too, and I think they were rested vs Hudd just for this reason.
hasper57saint Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Only real threat tonight will be Carrol with his elbows and wrestling in the box. Wet Spam can be beaten and we now have the motivation to achieve it.
vectraman Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Looking forward to tonight, full house, under the lights, we will beat the “East End geezers” 3-1. I hope!

CB Fry Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Will be interesting to see if Elyounoussi gets on. Pretty much every substitution he's made has paid off so would be good for squad depth if RH can get something out of Moi.
Dr. Kucho Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Ings starts. Obafemi not even on the bench. Ward-Prowse and Elyounoussi back in the bench. Gabbiadini, Hoedt, Davis and Cedric (seen in training photos) miss out. Can we see them moved on in January?

Saint Matty 76 Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Their team looks proper average. Not much to be that scared of other than Anderson.
tajjuk Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 That is not a strong West Ham team, disappointing if we don't get 3 points here. No Reid, Zabaleta, Arnautovic, Lanzini, Hernandez, Yarmalenko.
shurlock Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 A bang average line-up. No reason not to win this.
Saint Pete Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Cedric also nowhere to be seen.Got to think he must be on his way given he's been back training for a while now. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
Batman Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Got to fancy our chances against an injury hit West Ham. So many of their better players out
CanadaSaint Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Will be interesting to see if Elyounoussi gets on. Pretty much every substitution he's made has paid off so would be good for squad depth if RH can get something out of Moi. From what I remember of the forum 'research' when we signed him, he was an aggressive, attack-minded player who always wanted to go forward - not sideways or back. That was beaten out of him by the 'style' of Pellegrino and Hughes. If we can see the change in Elyounoussi that Ralph has brought out of Redmond, we might yet see that side of him - and it would be a hell of a plus. It would also raise the question of what Ralph could do given a little time with some of the on-loan flops - even if it's just to increase their transfer value to fund signings better-suited to his style.
Hamilton Saint Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Good to see only one (forced) change to the line up. Good to see a more stable set up.
simo Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 West ham only name 6 subs , Romeu captain yet couldn't even get in Hughes squad !?

Elyounoussi never played under Pellegrino. Also a bit much to talk about a player having their game beaten out of them in only a few months.
Manuel Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Still think Valery's a risk. Hopefully Ralph's seeing in training that he is an improvement on Cedric, rather than the issue being Cedric wanting away in Jan.
Batman Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Their injured team (no keeper) Zabaleta Balbuena Reid Fredericks Wilshere Sanchez Yarmolenko Lanzini Arnautovic Hernandez
Batman Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Ralph says he wants a clean sheet and lots of intensity with a win (obviously)
St Marco Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 They only have 6 subs? Also nice to see another youngster on the bench Ramsay. Well done lad.
Manuel Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Their injured team (no keeper) Zabaleta Balbuena Reid Fredericks Wilshere Sanchez Yarmolenko Lanzini Arnautovic Hernandez Ha ha. Reckon Ralph could do something with that lot.
sandwichsaint Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 McCarthy; Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard; Valery, Romeu ©, Lemina, Armstrong, Targett; Redmond, Ings. #momentum It's the right team for me, knock over a bare-bones WHU, continue the winning stuff, squeeze one more game out of them for Sunday, the rest of the squad can then play the Chelsea and the FA cup game. Good tactics, pointless rotating tonight and giving WH a sniff ... I'm going for a solid 2-0 and a rare clean sheet (#kissofdeath)

CanadaSaint Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Elyounoussi never played under Pellegrino. You're right - he arrived after Pellegrino left. I get confused when we're talking about the expensive, highly talented players we've signed that end up looking like an utter waste of money. Also a bit much to talk about a player having their game beaten out of them in only a few months. Couldn't disagree more. If they are being forced to play in a system that doesn't suit them, alongside players inculcated with a strong possession first/attack later mindset, their natural style does get beaten out of them. We've seen a much more direct Redmond and we might yet see a much more direct Elyounoussi.
Cabbage_Face Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 Still think Valery's a risk. Hopefully Ralph's seeing in training that he is an improvement on Cedric, rather than the issue being Cedric wanting away in Jan. For me he has been excellent, considering the mess he was at Cardiff, he has done very well to come back and do well. I like the fact he isn’t willing to chop and change.

Hamilton Saint Posted 27 December, 2018 Posted 27 December, 2018 how long before kick off does saints player normally start ? ive just got stream starting in a bit on screen 1 For home games, it's usually an hour before KO. For away games, it averages about 20 minutes before. But the service has been erratic lately. I have it on now, though.
