Lopetegui's Men Fulham v West Ham Line Ups

Beginning to think this guy is as bad as Moyes

Would of preferred to of seen Bowen upfront kudus on the right Summerville on the left with Soler starting ahead of Soucek.......
Seems to me we are setting out to stifle the opposition if that does not work well expect Pacman and summerville and soler to be thrown on in desperation

Is he expecting a miracle turn around in form of Ant . Dont think so

Can;t keep the ball and there you go 1-0 shocking defending

Does Jlo not see how poor we are in holding onto the ball.......changes have to be made as our defence is being overworked and the midfield easily bypassed by Fulham

Both need to be withdrawn and get Soler or Pacman on and summerville and lets get the ball to Kudus and Bowen who are just not in the game

Did Loopie not get the brief? Last season we played 4-2-3'1 with Antonio up front. We struggled. Why is he persisting with the same flawed formula?
Let's go 4-1-4-1. Get Summerville on.

Pacman and Summerville on Ants and Soucek off

Jimmy and Pacman on..

The team look better balanced and more of a threat i hope win or lose Jlo now has his eyes opened for the future games ahead

ha! get in

Doing what he's good at.

Said he is still decent. Number 1 striker for us now. Has to start next game...

Jlo recognising he messed up and made the subs at halftime and hopefully realising impact subs at best Soucek/Antonio from now on.......Soler wow he doesn't shirk a tackle and showed he can pass a ball like Pacman without having to feign injury 3/4/5 times a game...Bissaka actually had a better game when put on the left than the right today......and Ings you give him chances like that he scores he always has throughout his career...Summerville again looks good so surely he has to be starting with Bowen through the middle and Kudus who had a bad day on the right side from now on.

After the abysmal showing of antonio yet again why on earth did we not pay the extra for Duran look at him now another blinding goal what a missed opportunity won't get another chance now i'm worrying that lopi still persists with antonio and soucek and plays kudus on the left the way he is setting up he is no better than moyes the only difference he does change players earlier but sometimes that's even late as he should start them in the first place.

Players like Ings can they start? He's past it, like Antonio. These guys only make an impact as subs.

At Ings history here and he's only started 15 games and completed the whole 90 minutes 3 times. So truth is, he's never been given the chance for us to see if he can or can't. I think we're all agreed that Antonio isn't a 90 minute footballer either and I'm not all that sure that Fullkrug is either.
His goals per game ratio doesn't look good but bearing in mind he kept getting subbed or came on as sub (Usually with 5 minutes to go), maybe someone has the time and inclination to turn that stat into goals per minutes played.
For me, I was over the moon to see him score and personally Id've stuck the middle finger up at the management.
As someone said above, we should have splurged out on Duran

Yes indeed. As I've said many times in the past. I watched Ings start for us last season at Brammall Lane (shithole). He played 85 minutes and was the best player on the pitch. With even better players around him now, he could thrive if given a chance??

Fans are turning, he's being called the Paellamoyes!

What halfwit would have Slowczech even in the squad let alone start a match?

And start with Antonio? Have you seen his stats for the game?

And what about the invisible man? Jean-Clair Todibo? $40M.... smells a bit like Billingsgate

The board have splashed the cash and handed over the keys of the Ferrari squad to a Basque country tractor driving Goal Keeper!!!

I never wanted Moyes. Never wanted Bilic. Even thought that Zola was a disaster waiting to happen. And I happened to be their biggest critic and I didn't let up. But even I gave all of them more than four games before opening my gob.
As for Soucek, see my Your Selection thread. Antonio is unfortunate. The club has bought hundreds of players but only one striker. He happens to be injured, Ings for some obscure reason is reviled for accepting a high wage offer so it's clear that options up there are very limited. Yes I'm well aware of the Bowen option, again, see my Your Selection thread.
Getting back to Soucek he is a player who will lay his body on the line, something that I know from my early days as a West Ham supporter than our fans always appreciated excusing the shortcomings. The replacements we have bought in, Rodriguez hasn't uprooted any trees for me, Soler has only played 20 minutes so no-one knows if he's going to hack it in the Premier League good enough to oust Soucek. Much as I like Alvarez, he is a liability with all the cards he keeps getting, some quite early in the game which affects the rest of his performance on the pitch.
One more thing to add. I don't think many on here are giving Fulham much credit for their performance, much preferring to single out and criticise one or two of our own players instead.
