TBG Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Think the biggest takeaway from the home game, is we really do go off the boil without Bruno. No matter how much we fried to break them down, Rice and that P fella were too hard to breakdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Bruno being available makes me less worried we'll make Rice look like the second coming of Pirlo like we did in the home game. Bowen is a threat as well but they're mainly dangerous from set pieces near the box and corners. Big effort after Sunday can get us a win but it'll be tough still. Narrow win.

Cronky Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 They're a danger from set pieces, so I'm not confident we'll keep a clean sheet tonight. However, this team persistently rises to the occasion, and I think we'll get at least a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I feel relatively confident for this one. West Ham are a pretty one dimensional team who will look to soak up pressure and attack on the counter and from set pieces. A nice early goal wouldn't go amiss.

frankpingel Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Next two are the more difficult games of the three away matches, on paper anyway. Need a win here for momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 It's probably the lingering reflex developed over the past 14 years, but I have bad feeling about tonight. In theory this is the most winnable game of these next 3 away games, but tonight just feels like a banana skin in the making. And then we're in to what are, outside of City and Arsenal, two of the toughest away games in the league at the moment straight after. Still, I'm going to try and be optimistic and say we win 2-0 tonight. Isak with the opener, then another late one from Wilson off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Brentford is the more winnable. They like to have a go and we are very good at the counter attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Confident we'll create a hatful of good chances, as we normally do. But our finishing leaves a lot to be desired. And this lot seem to raise their levels against us, so predicting a tough game here. We'll probably need a bit of Isak magic to squeak through. 1-2.

Geogaddi Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) West Ham are a really poor side that play really poor football, I doubt they will even try and win the game tonight, they will just sit in and make it hard, if we score first we win.

alexf Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Aguerd is a good player. Rice in the middle has proven he can rise his performance against us and Bowen on the wing against Burn will be a concern as always. Paqueta is bit of an unknown still if he is going to perform. But unless that win on sunday suddenly transforms them back into form, then I think aslong as we perform to our own standards, we should have too much for them.
