I haven't got a clue how Loppy is going to set the team up. But I'd actually drop Emerson and Paqueta because both have been awful this season. Maybe the following: Areola AWB, Mav, Kilman , Creswell Soucek, Alvarez, Soler Coufal Summerville Kudus
Mistakes from Alvarez with a Kilman double and one from Kudus gifted that to City, schoolboy errors, we need an overhaul of that defence and a proper replacement for Rice...
Stelios, I can't fault your selection choices at all, but the team must hold its' shape when it comes to defending. As much as we enjoy seeing Wan-Bissaka surging forward, playing against City is not one of those matches, as it leaves that flank exposed. When he was at United, I'm sure I saw him cancel out Grealish in one match against City. Safe travels.
The manager is not playing the players to thier strength so no matter what they do they will fail which will result in frustration and later them not giving a fuck
Sadly, I believe you're correct. It's a poor state of affairs when the players can't play for each other or even a bit of self pride. Except maybe Kudos, with the 'for sale' sign out.
Not looking forward to this game. Don't see how we can keep them out, even if we do have a chance to catch them on the break. Likely to be another hard defeat. Even as out of form as they are, City are better than us. I am in agreement with your views on lineup. And the Moyes analogy too. I can't see Lopetegui doing anything adventurous either. Feeling this season is done and without Bowen the slide backwards might be unstopable now. Transfer business might be the only saving grace for us but I don't have much trust in the club on that front either. Feeling glum and negative, and I don't like it 😢
6-0 Stel And That's With A Back 5. I Hope You Are Not Going To The Game Waste Of Your Time And Your Money That's A Good Lineup Stel But That Won't Ever Happen Your Lineup Shows Fight
We live in hope... Good luck for the trip, Stel.
Morning Stel
Soon to be leaving for the trip to Manchester
We must be bloody crazy
Safe journey to all travelling
Let’s take it to them COYFI ⚒️
We’re all mad traveling that way in this weather but we do it in the hope that we see a result like we did against Newcastle
Good team Stel. City will be too strong but keep this team until Bowen returns
Glad we saw Summerville play
I didn’t think Lopetegui would have picked him

In the past, this is the kind of game we might have pulled an unexpected result from. We never seem to do that any more.
We've won 2 in 22 away to City spanning over 20yrs🤷♂️
@@TheBoleynLounge That's why it would be an unexpected result.
We are gonna get battered simple as that we can't defend
We didn’t get battered
But still we lost
@@WESTHAMVOICE 1-4 is getting battered,you can't dress it up
dreading tomorrow. just hope we see some youngsters get minutes even if we get thumped

It's terrible that I'm thinking like this but we'd struggle to beat Man City's under 18's at the minute!
I believe sully has told Lopetegui in the big games dont lose heavy and your job is safe.the why he is playing 3 FB.

Again our defensive frailties showed up mate
The players are not playing for the manager and the fans what’s the point

I think the players put in a decent performance but we are still not coherent

We played better but still not enough against them
I'm always the eternal optimist but even l am fearing an absolute thrashing
Strange game that it was
4-1 didn’t reflect the actual game
If it’s 5-6 or even god forbid more then Lopetegui surely is a condemned man and has to go?
Wasn’t as bad
Performance was ok
But still a defeat is a defeat
Even with there injuries they will still be too much for west ham.....5-0 thrashing again
Todibo will get cramp after 45 minutes so I reckon Mavro will start.
I do wonder what knock Todibo is carrying that he can’t last a whole 90 minutes
@@WESTHAMVOICE I just think he's up to that level of fitness the premiership requires.
@@WESTHAMVOICE Pretty much what happened.
Another game to not look forward to, don't know where the next win is coming from with loppyball?
Stel he apparently studied us for 6 months and how did that work lol
Mate he should never have said that he studied us
Think I’m going 3-1 or 4-1 to City
You got it right mate
6-0 Stel And That's With A Back 5. I Hope You Are Not Going To The Game Waste Of Your Time And Your Money That's A Good Lineup Stel But That Won't Ever Happen Your Lineup Shows Fight
Back 5 more like back 10 and still lose 🤣
Wasn’t as bad thankfully but a loss is a loss
Wouldn't surprise me a double figure score Man. City waiting for us to get back on track ⚽️⚽️
Even I don’t think we’ll be that bad… but…
Stel l think we could do these they are not in good form and do it for Bowen and Antonio c.o.y.i
I’d love to get a result here mate
Man city 7-0
Well it wasn’t that bad
I am feeling optimistic today 🫧 A suprise like Guilherme and Summerville on the wings would really improve our chances of a point. 🤞🤞🫧❤️
Summerville proved he is worth playing regularly
@WESTHAMVOICE Yeah. It is hard to see positives right now for me, but i agree. It is mental that we have not been playing him fully so far.
