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.

      So we have the exact same team except I have Morgan instead of Koné. I'm saving the transfer for next week after deciding not to do Firmino to Barkley for a hit.

      tbh, team looks pretty solid. Only change I would consider would be shipping Kone, but obviously no point taking a hit for that if you do indeed have no FTs left.
