Hammers are a decent side at the moment.
We'll need to put in a much better performance than we did today if we want 3 points.

WHU have been a bit of a bogey team for us in recent years. Really hoping for a good display but in reality unless we get an individual stormer from someone it looks unlikely.

Even though our home form hasn't been perfect this season, we're still generally better at the Emirates. The Spammers' midfield isn't as strong as Everton's either, their defense is weaker, and their attack is less dangerous. It won't be easy, but three points shouldn't be that big of a problem.
But qs is right that they're can do us over, we lost to them twice in 2006, and once i 2007. Of the last four matches we've won three though, and lost only one, way back in april 2007.

Expect Green to suddenly morph into Oliver Kahn.

Am going to this game, my 1st home game in almost a year, I really hope our boys put in good performance, especially Adebayor who has been getting on my tits lately. not expecting easy match but I think we can nick 1-0 victory

The only way I see us scoring is from a van Persie set piece because they is no way we will be able to break down a stubborn defense.

We have two options RvP wins the game for us, or we score from a set piece.
3 points are vital. This is a must win game, cant see us winning though, not with our comical bunch of so called midfielders.

No need, we won't threaten once until around the 80th min.raidersoftheark said:

West Ham have won their last 5 games in Premier League and are on a 7 games unbeaten run in all competitions. They have a goal difference of 14-3 in those 5 games in the PL. They are in other words, on a very good run at the moment.
We on the other hand have not lost in our last 9 games in the PL. With 3 victories and 2 draws we have a goal difference of 8-5 in those 5 games. However unlike the Hammers, our run has not been accompanied with good play.
If our players can be arsed, we will win this, but if we get a performance like the one yesterday we will certainly drop points here.

ROFLMAO!!!!!
Just reading some of the comments in the thread about the role of manager & about AW & his pursuit of purist theories etc, and thought that WHU would be a better club for him to be with = no pretentions about dominating the EPL or winning everything & no dissatisfied fans about lack of progress etc.

Silvestre out for 'two or three' more weeks, great. Or great as great, it depends on how you take it, it´s just great.
“I will change things a little bit because we play on Tuesday but this game against West Ham is very important to us. I will make changes but I don’t want to disrupt the side too much.”

It makes no sense to not give Gibbs the minutes at this point.

So my line-up for this game will be:
-------------Almunia------------------------
Sagna----Gallas---Djourou----Clichy
Ramsey----Denilson----Song----Nasri
--------Adebayor-----RvP-----------------
There might be a question mark over RvP, but if I was the manager, I would let him play the whole game and then gave him a rest on Tuesday. Don´t know if Vela is ready, but if he was, he could as well get some playing time.
A nice 2:0 win will do it for me.

Well, it does as far as I´m concerned.hujja said:

We need a drastic improvement from our midfield if we are to win this one. Sadly if Wenger stays true to plan he will have the same midfield combination out there on Saturday , and we will struggle to break West Ham down.
By the way , expect Carlton Cole to be a handful for our CBs
