Originally posted by Ecopalace Our defense will be exposed, with Kelly in and Sakho on the bench we look weak with this line-up. Feeling nervous for this now. Hodgson doesn't tend to start a player in his first game back from an outage as a rule and it would be crackers to take risks with Sakho now. ============ The Ferret ============

Roy is generally meticulous in his planning, and with no new injuries it would suggest this line-up is based on tactics, not because it was enforced. Perhaps he thinks the back four plus Luka and McArthur will be enough protection against a team missing most of its attack? Set pieces will be my big concern, plus the unknown quantity of their new lad. If our attack are on top of their game we should win this, but I wouldn't say I'm by any means confident.

Originally posted by The Dolphin I don't like this at all. Sako, Wilf and Townsend is risky. No midfield at all and if Wilf is going to be asked to defend more than attack then our strongest weapon is blunt. I would have played Cabaye for 70 mins snd brought Sako on. I hope i am proved wrong but feel we have handed West Ham a lifeline here I'd hope its a 442 with Sako up front with Tekkers. And Wilf back on the left wing, 442 isn't so attacking, it was the norm up to 5 years ago for all teams. Edited by matthau (30 Jan 2018 7.40pm)
