Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Bournemouth

21 August 2016 3515 comments

The London Stadium hosts the final match of Gameweek 2 as West Ham attempt to settle in their plush new home.

Slaven Bilic’s side host a Bournemouth outfit who claimed a 4-3 victory in the same fixture just over a year ago, via a Callum Wilson hat-trick.

Looking at the West Ham teamsheet, Eddie Howe’s men will fancy their chances again.

The Hammers head into this encounter without both Andy Carroll and Dimitri Payet – the latter “felt something” after his appearance at Chelsea on Monday night, whilst Carroll has sustained a knee injury which will keep him out for a number of weeks according to Slaven Bilic.

As for the Cherries, they appear to have changed shape and seem to be going on the attack: Howe has introduced Ryan Fraser on the flank, with Lewis Cook dropping out.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            He looked sharp. Reluctant to double up on Saints tho. Tempted by Nolito but can't bring myself to put on someone who's starting on the bench. Maybe Pogba? Sterling an option too but not quite convinced

      I think it's a big risk to be without him. I don't know his ownership off hand but it will be probably the 2nd highest in the game. Already scored 3 without playing particularly well, on pens and free kicks. He'll be one of the highest scoring players come the end of the season I have no doubt.

    Think I must face facts and get Zlatan in. That will mean I must take a hit but that's fair enough.

    Which of the following is the best enabler for Vardy > Ibra?

    A) Tadic > Redmond (very sideways and I'd quite like to keep Tadic)

    B) Firmino > Mirallas (not nailed on for game time although very nice fixtures)

    C) Lamela > Zaha (seemingly secure, good fixtures, Benteke as a new target but a bit meh anyway)

    Grateful for any feedback.

    Whole team here:

    Foster Jaku
    Stones Valencia Williams Friend Amat
    Hazard Tadic Firmino Lamela Capoue
    Kun Vardy Gray
