F me that was sh*t yesterday. Rather than twusting ze pwocess something needs to be done urgently to stop the rot.

Dunk MUST be benched. Disinterested, slow, quiet. Igor plays with pride and absolutely loves putting on the shirt, he might borderline gash but definitely deserves a start.

No more lamptey. Just anything other than him. Bring on veltman in a wheelchair or an under 21. Or maybe even moder.

DONT start minteh. As others have said better Vs expansive teams or with lots of space. He's hopeless when tightly marked.

Maybe verbruggen needs a rest.

Definitely bring in wiffy for ayari I was disappointed wieffer didn't start yesterday, has looked really good recently.

Plenty of food for thought.

Not chopping and changing the starting 11 so much. When was the last time we played the same starting 11 two games in a row?
No, yesterday's team definitely needs chopping and changing. Out with Lamptey, Dunk, Ayari and Minteh as a minimum. I'm not even sure Bart should start. A case for him doing more too.

As others have said, a plan... a tactical plan and one actually based on the opposition tactics, and countering them etc.
Absolutely essential that we remember how to defend from a cross... sadly this one has come a a bad time... we'll get countered and hammered in the air by Soucek... This version of West Ham can be beaten, but rather annoyingly this version of West Ham will exploit all of our tactical and personnel weaknesses... Regardless of who plays, I've got a bad feeling about this one :(

I wonder if it’s time to bring March back? He certainly seems to believe that he is fit enough? Of not, start Gruda.

Dropping Dunk is a no brainer. Is it too soon for Ferdi to replace Lamptey?

Welbz back in with luck.

I think Enciso has earned a start at No.10.

Final, Wieffer and Baleba makes sense until Hinsh and Milner are ready to come back. I’ve not seen enough from O’Riley to warrant a start for him.

I find the suggestion that Dunk was disinterested laughable ……personally one change i’d like to see is a three man midfield …and hopefully the return of the likes of Veltman….Ferdi….Hinch
Read this very quickly and thought you wrote you wanted to see Dunk in a three man midfield. I even uttered a spontaneous "YEAH LETS GO" before looking at it again. That would be something.

Anyway, difficult to give a real answer when we don't really know what the injury situation looks like.

I mean, its very easy to say something like "not Lamptey in a four man back line", but then again wtf is Hurz supposed to do if Veltman, Ferdi, Hinshelwood are all injured?

In the best of worlds (not ours that is, but use your imagination) I would go with this:

Verbruggen

Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan

Hinshelwood, Georginio, Baleba

Lamptey, Welbeck, Mitoma

We need to sack the manager if he starts Solly in an attempt to turn our fortunes around against West Ham after playing 25 minutes in the last 14 months.

Any fullback but Lamptey.
Igor over Dunk.
Three in CM (at the expense of the army of forwards). Will Hinsh be ready?
End the Kamikaze of everyone being upfield bar incredibly slow players. We’ve 90’ to win a game, why take silly risks at 0-0 early doors?
