Another Saturday night 8pm KO. Utter shite for travelling fans.
Even Pep has said this week the title race is over unless we win. Personally I think it’s been over for a while as we simply aren’t playing well enough for long enough in games. The second half performance in a lot of games recently has been largely bereft.
We haven’t lost to West Ham in the league since 2015 apparently and I am not confident at all about this one. West Ham have had a bit of a resurgence just of late and are on the cusp of moving out of the relegation zone which is an added incentive for them.
1-1 Cherki to salvage a point

The problem with overthink is you have to have brains to do it successfully

Wont be making predictions or assumptions until the team is out. Only God knows what that will be like.

I share your concerns, after seeing Pep’s presser I was wondering whether he has lost what little plot he had left.

West Ham capable of causing an upset, hit and miss results like us. Suspect it will be an entertaining draw.
Even when the team gets announcede, i've given up trying to second guess the result or how we willl play, Even during the game its difficult to tell until the 95th minute

I know what you mean, in previous seasons you could almost tell how we were going to do after first 15 minutes.

Seem a bit more balanced to me, fancy having O’Reilly in midfield
