No Lamela (banned)
Bring in Son.
Fitness allowing - the same team as the Arsenal game
No no, we're the obsessed ones:
Its funny on here we are talking about the game like any other game. Yet over on Spurs fans forums they are obsessing over us.
Oh well at least they can recycle their cup final joke and state west ham fans are racist at the game.
They are doing a minute silence before the game. Any West Ham fan who does anything during that should be given a massive hiding. No doubt some Spurs will report we did something and the BBC will believe them.
Don't really care for Spurs, their fans are pretty awful bunch thats about it.
Put Lanzini in Payet position with Antonio and Moses on the wings swapping when they like
We will be ok
It's not just fitness - it's tiredness too. We need to manage the squad through easier games during these busy times. This is only our 3rd most important game this week
Alli, Dier, Kane, Verts and Alder have played an awful lot recently, and need to be managed carefully; otherwise the wheels will come off later in the winter.
--------------Lloris
Walker--Wimmer--Verts---Davies
--------Dier---Mason
Lamela----Eriksen---Son
-----------Kane
A few changes for this one for me:
- Wimmer and Davies over Verts and Rose to equip us better for the aerial threat
- Alli rested
- Son over Dembele to give us more penetration against a team were are expected to beat
Firstly, regarding this and your other post - resting players for our 'easier' games...... West Ham have beaten arsenal, city, Chel53a and Liverpool away so if you think this is an easy game or one we are expected to win as a foregone conclusion then I would strongly strongly strongly disagree. Bilic has created a bloody good side who play decent football and can say that they have a good chance of getting a result. You sound like one of those arsenal red and white scarfed, football shirt wearing arrogant Toby's that litter their ground every week by saying that.
Also I would start Alli with his current momentum but I thinkwe have just as good backup in Mason ans Nabil so happy to see him rested.
I cannot agree regarding wimmer and our backup currently doesn't have the confidence to step in unless necessary. We need our best centre halves for sure.
You can make an argument to start davies but ariel ability is not one of those. Rose is more athletic, more aggressie and defo better in the air. He defends the back post better but either will struggle if isolated against carroll
Not very brave - starting the OMT for our first guaranteed win of the season
sTottenham Hotspur Vs West Ham United
Date: Sunday November 22nd 2015
Venue:White Hart Lane
Competition: English Premier League
Right people, time for us to get serious! A good draw against the Gooners means people have started to laud us now in the press.
This is the game where some of them are hoping they can get out the "same old Spirs, they haven't changed" article they wrote at the same time they were creaming themselves over our top 4 prosects after we bossed things at the Effeminates (despite us not actually winning that match as we should have).
The key battles:

So c'mon, let's not let them have that article published just yet!
Let's beat these Spammers to a pulp and send them back to Essex!
Let's paint the North London skyline claret using their brickty shirts! Let's make the Olympic committee wish they'd given that Ground to proper club (even if we'd have later turned THEM down)!
LET'S BEAT THESE MOFOS!!
COYFS!!!
My prediction: 3-1; Harry, Eriksen and Dembele for us; Sakho for them..
Where has the idea that West Ham are playing good football this season come from? Are those saying this just looking at the league table or watching them play, because I've caught a few of their games and they were second best in each one...
From what I have seen they're a typical mid table outfit that have had a bit of luck to elevate their position - a couple of in-form players digging them out of deserved draws/defeats
