Robbored Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Good opportunity to take a look at West Ham given our FA cup 3rd game in January. As you’d expect they’re very slick with pace throughout the team and are currently putting Wolves to the sword cruising comfortably at 3-0. Wolves have barely a shot goal other than a VaR offside effort. Our former keeper Bentley is having a shocker and should have done better with a three goals. He certainly ain’t PL quality imo. However Wolves are pretty poor, overrun in midfield and defensively very sloppy - that doesn’t help Bentley much. Shame it’s not them in the 3rd round……….

robin_unreliant Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 We should get Conway and Cornick to watch that game to see how to finish a one on one with the goalie. He buried it and made it look easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 It really depends on the team Moyes chooses to field on the day. They’ve played a lot of football and are through to the knockout stages of the Europa League. Cant see the FA Cup being a priority, but that doesn’t mean to say he won’t pick a strong team.

Be a lovely boon if he does prioritise the Europa League and League position and go nice and weak against us. If we could scrap a win; be an amazing day for 9k travelling fans and always nice to make the 4th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be great to reach the 6th Round, as next February marks the 50th anniversary of that last achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Stats can lie but it doesn't look a 3-0 game at all despite @Robbored analysis. I'm sure West Ham had overall control fwiw. That said they will clearly be strong favourites vs us and why wouldnt they be Edited December 18, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 If Max had conceded the first goal we would have seen a few regulars on here weighing in that’s for sure. Great strike but it went in about 2 yards inside the post. It looked wrong on first glance and the behind the goal view showed why. West Ham do ask questions of the keeper from set pieces though so it will be interesting how Max deals with that when we play them (albeit I can see JWP and Bowen benched for our game).
