Match Thread West Ham Utd 2-1 Everton. Saturday 25th April 2026

​

Assuming Jarrad Branthwaite and Beto will not be playing, I can see Moysie falling back on his old, safe team selection.

Pickford
JO'B - Tarkowski - Keane - Mykolenko
Gueye - Garner
McNeil - KDH - Ndiaye
Barry
​

If that's the team selection then I suggest everyone save themselves 2 hours of their lives then put themselves through that shower of a side.

I hope he is, can't find any updates on him.

Saw something from Giulia Bould saying it wasn't a concussion substitute and he had a shiner. Should be ok I hope.

Sounds positive. When I saw the injury I was worried he'd fractured his cheekbone.

Garner alone wont be able to contain Summerville and Diouf, he'll need help as O'Brien did at our place. But Ndiaye was on the right and didn't always get back to help so he got overran. If we contain Summerville on the right, Nuno will just move him inside to get the ball.

We need at least three in the middle of the park Garner on the right - for the reasons you said interceptions, brain, position himself, Gueye in the Middle and Iroegbunam on the left - where Bowen and Wan-Bissaka are strong. Or move Dewsbury Hall on the left side of a4. . Also it will cut down Fernades's influence on the game.

Pickford

O'Brien (if he doesn't put Patterson there) Tarkowski Keane Mykolenko

Garner Gueye Iroegbunam Dewsbury Hall

Barry Ndiaye.

I don't mind Garner playing in centre mid provided Keane isn't centre back and O'Brien isn't right back.

Whatever happens O'Brien needs to play centre back.

I agree Ndaiye didn't help him out enough down the right in the first game but even so, O'Brien was rash at right back and he looked very uncomfortable throughout. It's a nightmare match up for him.

In which case we finish 14th imo. League One quality side.

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

Personally I would like to see KDH, Gana and Alcaraz in the middle, with Garner right back and JOB in the centre of defence. As I write it, this doesn't work without a better right winger

Just give Braiden Graham a go, he's got the skills and speed that is clearly lacking.

Nowhere near it

By the time this game kicks off we could be 12th in the league.

and by the time it’s over we could be 6th, NEED a win here or the season is likely to fade out with a whimper!

 

[Ray Purchase]

We need Palace to beat them tonight.

A win, and they will be well up for it, come Saturday.

Keane has had a better season then sicknote so it will make no real difference.
Another one who hates Moyes doing well and would us to be in a relegation fight so he would feel better.

 

[chippy1722]

Tough game this one. Injuries permitting i would like up something like this...

Pickford
Patterson O'Brien Tark Myko
Gana KDH Garner
Ndiaye Beto Dibling

Do you have a soft spot for Weat Ham.

 

[chippy1722]

How could Dibling be less effective that Dwight 'jogging for 90 mins" Mcneil?

The same way he’s proving to be less effective than McNeill every single day of the week.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Just give Braiden Graham a go, he's got the skills and speed that is clearly lacking.

How do Ngamoha's stats at youth level compare to his? Don't get why our kids that's banging goals for fun at 18 isn't ready but the RS have a 17 year old getting games on the reg.

I'm lucky enough to have been given a ticket by a West Ham season ticket holder, the down side is that I'll have to sit on my hands and keep quiet.

Been to the stadium before and it's an awful atmosphere but it's only twenty minutes away.

They've picked up a few points recently but I expect the Blues to pick up all the points.
