True Kel, its not like Jesus was scoring a ton. I don't see Eddie being able to provide the all round play Jesus did though so he'll need to hit the back of the net pretty regularly.
Moyes on West Ham's forwards for tomorrow:
"Gianluca has got an ankle injury and Mick had a calf strain. We're hoping they both have a chance, but they are doubtful. I think every club is going to have issues with players returning after the World Cup. Jarrod is more than capable of playing down the middle. We've done the same with Marko Arnautovic and Michail Antonio, so who says we can't do it with Jarrod?"
Pepe LeFrits
I find it amusing that Moyes bemoans the impact of the WC on player fitness, yet none of the injury doubts he mentioned went to Qatar!
Who is the favourite to start at striker here ?
I guess nketiah is the straightforward choice, but wonder if Martinelli gets a shot through the middle
I'd go with Eddie myself
Me too, would be bit a of blow to the lad to be sat in this circumstance. Excited to see him play tomorrow along with Tierney in particular, who I think will start as well.
As said in another thread, you can't pay Eddie £100k pw and not play him if Jesus is out.
I'm gonna have a shit load of food, a lot to drink and watch the game, what a day
Full team +Nketiah
Let's go
Clrnc Zinny on the bench so not a full team technically.
goon He's never fit so Tierney will be first choice
West Ham: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Kehrer, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Antonio
Not a lot of attacking options on our bench.
Pepe LeFrits 1x Cozier Duberry!
Huge that this is at home.
So nervous!
Very much up for this. Let's go Arsenal!
Come on Saka and the boys!
pumped to have the arsenal back
let's (re)start as we mean to go on
Glad to see Saliba playing - lot more confident now
lorddulaarsenal Tet doesn't really strike me as a manager who'll throe him on if we're chasing a game.
Nervous now
Should we restart the match meal tradition or might that jinx our season?
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert leftovers!
