Welbeck is injured and not good at defence recently. This game will be a draw
Hiya lads great show its so nice to see geo back with gonzo. I'm not sure if loppy will be at the game as he's dad passed away and I think our players need to pull up there socks and go at Brighton to get the win for loppy and paqueta looks close so let's see if he has a great game but I want to see Orford or guilherme get a chance to start as no soler we can't keep playing soucek
Really good to see you back geo hope all is well
The ultimate double act are back! Great to see you both together again! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No more Mavahopless
No chance on earth Orford plays ahead of Paqueta
You say Lucas has to go up a level or two, Orford needs to go up ten levels
The constant ‘Fullkrug wants to go home’ narrative is boring now. The whole thing about West Ham wanting to sign a world class striker is just stating the obvious. Are they supposed to say they want to sign another Iain Dowie?
27 million EUROS. Stop peddling the twenty seven million quid trope, he cost nearer £20m than £27m
Great to see you home geo. ❤️❤️
Lop will put soucek in at number 10 role kudus left wing no way will he drop Soucek. Under Moyes we waited for Kudus to play no. 10 never happened we are still asking for him to play that role. Ain't going to happen
Top players won't be happy with 14th they will want out. And top players won't want to join us. Under Sullivan we have no ambition.
Love this channel
I agree with Gonzo I think we have rode our luck a little over the last few games with decisions and how many opportunities we give away.
Brighton aren’t on form so see us getting a point, Southampton aren’t poor so think we will win regardless but unless we tighten up Liverpool will embarrass us.
Nice point Gonzo but not sure when we chasing points academy players are way forward. Once we have a solid team then yeah get the kids in
Hope the little one can be home soon and we get some points on Saturday as a bonus
If Geo wants a top class co-host I understand Greg Wallace might be available. Like-for-like?
Gonzo has been great holding everything down but it’s awesome having the team back together! Peanut butter and jelly 😂😂😂
Do you think our defence would be better organised if Kilman had the armband? I wish Dawson was still available at RCH.
Top class co host! Brilliant!😅 But how come there was no mention of Gonzo replacing Geo?!
Which one of you wears the trousers? Or do you both have one leg in the same pair?
We can't rely on Fabianski every game, our defense puts him under way too much pressure. I've got no confidence we will score either. Having said that I'm going for a 1-3 Brighton win.
We always seem to suffer against the teams that are struggling, how many times have we heard it’s the best time to play this team and ooopppssss
Great to see you back Geo! Congrats and wishing you and the clan a great 1st Christmas. ⚒️
Anything Dino’s does turns to a goal conceded! Todibo in.
Good to seee your mug, Geo. Congrats to you and Lady Geo. As always, Brighton will be tough. Hoping for a draw and a performance like the first half against Bournemouth.
Great video
Great to see you back Geo! Big congrats 🎉
Great to see you back Geo, hope baby and Mrs Geo are all ok 👍
I'd go 5-3-2
Fabianski
Coufal, AWB, Casey, Killman, Emerson
Souceck, Alvarez, Paqueta
Kudus, Bowen
Can always change it if not working, with Summerville, Scarles and Fullkrug to come on
I have to agree with Gonzo. I think we’ll finish below the teams above us and above the teams below us. 🤔
You two complement each other tremendously need more of you two together
Good to see you back geo
Hope all is well
2-1 West Ham
Great to see you back Geo, I trust your daughter is now on the mend. 👍😀⚒⚒⚒
Its not en sisco its en see so 👍
Im not even a west ham fan and ive been shouting for Füllkrug to get a start. Seeing Julen starting bowen or danny ings as a 9 is just baffling for me. Bowen is best on the right and Füllkrug is better than ings. Antonio is his only legit competition for that position. I hope Antonio recovers quick 🙏
With Mavropanos not playing well against Bournemouth and Todibo apparently injured I would start Casey with Kilman against Brighton ⚒️
Why do we have to play Brighton and Hove? We can't beat one team, let alone two.
The middle 6 players in the west ham line up must be one of the slowest in prem history
Mediocre at best. Climging on at the end wnd couod easily have lost.
Not enough energy and a clear lack of effective coaching, motivation and tactics.
Not good enough
Tony Bloom and David Sullivan are both untouchable. Great for Brighton fans, disasterous for West Ham fans
If ever there was an example of the pair being greater than the sum of the parts its you guys. Welcome back Geo. I that your baby andvwife recover well. All the best for 2025
