I understand we need to be solid but I hope we don't neglect the attacking side which we tend to do lately let's hope so.

I would only play Diamanti in the hole behind strikers so you could probably same team but with 3 in the middle and Diamanti just behind the 2 strikers. . . .however i think GFZ will go with Green, Faubert, Spector, Upson, Tompkins, Collison, Kovac, Parker, Noble, Behrami, Cole.

Like your style but like you I think GFZ may take a more cautious approach. He could still do a 442 but at the expense of Diamanti for Kovac to stiffen up the midfield. Diamanti would then a sub to break down a stubborn defence. I also hope we are good enough to give Burnley a roasting with Mido added at some point.....433 in my dreams lol! Hi Andy.

The top tier which is temporary holds 55,000 with the lower tier holding 25,000. I for one would like to hear the thoughts of architects on how easy it would be to transform the stadium for suitable use for West Ham and our specific needs. You would imagine G&S would already have a rough idea if this is possible. The roof will cover two thirds of the spectators so to create a better atmosphere you would think more roof coverage would be needed.

In a way our season starts now.We have been playing half the season without a full strike force and I think it is fair to say we now have proper options up front. I can't wait to see Benni starting with Cole. I think they will dovetail perfectly together. Sometimes a partnership just clicks, think Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke, sutton and Shearer, McAvennie and Cottee. I don't claim that Benni is as good as these players but he is a very good striker nonetheless and I think we can have some fun before the end of the season. Interested to see who comes on in the second half. Will Ilan get a game today, will Mido get a game before him? Will we play 442 or 451? Will we in fact play 433 to incorporate all our strikers? Where does Diamanti fit in now we have so many options up front? Green Faubert Tomkins Upson Ilunga Behrami Parker Collison Diamanti Cole McCarthy This is more of a 4 3 1 2. A Very attacking lineup. This allows us to create opportunities for Cole and McCarthy and this lineup allows Diamanti to play a more free-role behind the front two. What this would mean is that Collison, Parker and Behrami would have to run their socks off, put in lots of miles and get around the pitch. I think they are the perfect players to do it. Do I think they will go for this formation? No. I think Zola might stick to his preferred 451 formation. If we are going to play Benni, I think this formation is ill-advised as Cole would lead to link up the team from behind McCarthy- with benni ahead of him- Cole would have to link from deep. Anyway. I'm really looking forward to this today. Cole and McCarthy, Ilan, Mido, the formation. I'm very hopeful of a win today Good Morning Everyone.

When I was a kid and watched west ham games with my family and my dad used to always tell me "this is football language". For me swearing is all part of being a supporter. To let your opions out even if they are a agressive at times. I love this blog but even I find it to be a little too formal sometimes. Let's be honest, west ham at heart is a cockney club. I'm not having a go but just putting my opinion across. Devo mate, I’m sorry but I have to disagree with the main point of this post.

I can't say I am in favour or against the move, but the only correct bit of reporting in that report is that the transport links to a redeveloped Upton Park wouldn't cope with the extra traffic.. Not that you would know this sitting in Ireland. your clutching at straws now. is that really the most informative article you could find to support your argument?
