West Ham United drew 1-1 with Brentford in the Premier League and a talking point for Gatesy is whether Head Coach Julen Lopetegui will drop Lucas Paqueta? And is Konstantinos Mavropanos now ahead of Vladamir Coufal in the right back pecking order? Tomas Soucek grabbed the Hammers an equaliser after an early goal from Bryan Mbuemo

  1. Would have thought with JWP gone, Cresswell would be getting more minutes not less. He’s the only guy we’ve got who can take free kicks and corners. Bowen’s corners have been woeful all season. Plenty of height to aim at, Antonio, Soucek, Mav and Kilman to name a few, but never cause any type of threat.

  2. The inclusion of Summerville is the problem Lopetegui has, because he doesn’t have a suitable left back that works with Summerville.
    Cresswell was the original choice but he was found out to quickly, Emerson is to attack minded linking up with Paqueta.
    Coufal has also been found out causing Bowen’s constant covering instead of attacking.
    Now the dynamic of AWB with Summerville, and Mavropanos with Bowen looks a better balance.
    Once FĂźllkrug is fit, Kudus behind him, interchanging with both Summerville and Bowen will confuse opposition defenders giving more room for FĂźllkrug to do his thing.
    Now with the back four of Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman and AWB looking solid, the attacking four as mentioned, it just needs the conundrum of the best pairing for the defensive midfield, and I believe that will be Lopetegui’s preferred eleven within a 4,2,3,1 formation

  3. You made some good points about J-Lo's management. His substitutions and issues with players seem to show that he doesn't know what he's doing, especially his pronouncement to have two players in every position and not use them effectively in each position

  4. Cheers Gatesy, I’ll tell ya, I was afraid to suggest that we drop Paqueta, cos he’s so needed, but his mind is elsewhere right now. I really think we should go Areola, Mavro-2 Tobido-4 Kilman-5 AWB-3 Alvarez-6 Soucek-8, Summerville-11, Kudus-10 Bowen,-7 Fullkrug-9

  5. Hello mate, yep, like a chemist in the lab creating a formula i suppose we'll have to give J-Lo time to test his methods.
    Progress is only made from trial & error, and good things eventually happen to those that hustle. ⚒

  6. I think what you’ve overlooked is that lopetegui is very tactically aware, he may change his ‘pecking order’ game by game based on what will suit that particular opponent. It’s not about pecking order it’s about moments in games.

  7. Personally for me would play Paqueta in a false nine striker role, kudus behind, Jaz and Summerville on flanks, allows Paqueta to drop deep, and where we want him around the final third kudus to run in behind and drive centrally with the ball. And Jaz to run inside. Soucek behind. Technically Paq would draw and cause defenders out of position allowing the ball in behind the defender and attacking the free space. Kudus more freedom, and allows the midfield to have body’s who will run in Soucek and Alvarez, solder when we control games, we struggle control. Feel like that would bring us more.
