i expect they'll fire in even more crosses to Carroll than usual to put him under pressure. Any word as to if kos is out?

Just read Kos will be out. And could potentially be out for weeks. Makes Nevilles comments about him look even more ridiculous! With Cech out for a few weeks, its looking like we'll have Gabriel and Martinez playing for a few matches to come. Expect the defence to look even more shaky! Shame Mertersaker has vanished, could have done with him.

Indeed. It's important for the fans not to get on Martinez' back if he does make a mistake. Chances are our other keeper would do the same anyway.

I never understand why anyone would get on a 3rd choice GKs back about performances. They only get/need to play about twice a year.

Emiliano is solid, not too worried about him starting.

I do like him aswell, but with the way our defenders have been playing, I can see the fans getting on his back for no reason.

West Ham are absolutely terrible, though, so you should be ok.

Yeah, but Carroll. CARROLL

You'll probably win 4-3 then.

we made city's defence look alright on Sunday. Dunno if this lot are up for scoring 4 goals

Did we? They looked shocking to me!

We made it look better than it usually is. Still crap though.

Clean sheets Martinez

They still looked dodgy, and West Ham's defence is a lot worse. Only Swansea have conceded more foals I think.

That's just horse play.

Ffs

West Ham will no doubt raise there game against Arsenal and we'll make Andy Carroll look world class again like we did last season! Arsenal have also been very poor in league games during midweek, not won any of them this season and pretty sure we only won once last season which was a Thursday game.

Weakest GK in the PL is Ospina. Not too fussed that he's injured as let's face it Carrol would have made mince meat out of the midget.

I know Darren, I was just being facetious.

West Ham will probably play a lot differently against us anyway.

Why isn't Per starting games. He has been fit for months.

Is he being managed out like Arteta was?

Seems Mert is being phased out. Has he even been on the bench recently? Remember him on the bench a few weeks ago, we were comfortable in the game, and I remember thinking we should have subbed him on for a bit of match practice

per would be good in goal.....wing span

I'm sure Per has signed a contract extension which is laughable considering we haven't bothered with the likes of Ramsey, Wilshere, Oxlade ect. Even though the above aren't pulling up many trees getting them on new deals means we could sell them for alot more

Yeah he signed a new deal in January.

The club is terrible with contracts. Give the wrong people massive money too early, extend deals of injury prone players and Let good players contracts run down

Meh.
