What's the story with Capoue?? Going by pre season form, I'd rather see him starting alongside Holtby or Bentaleb.
This is what I want to know, most are including him in the team which is justified but he was absent Saturday - is he definitely going to be fit for this game?
Depends, is he actually injured or was it just a precaution?
Not exactly an ideal pre-season for Poch then. Choosing and getting the midfield to work is the key and no easy task. Sherwood didn't manage to solve the conundrum.
How unfit can the World Cup players be now ? I think we'll see all of them back for west ham if not injured.
I don't think we should fight fire with fire
If we play skilful players we will control the game completely
West Ham will be desperate for a point
We should go out to show them who is boss; really dominate with skill and movement rather than having a big fight

BTW - Spammers still advertising tickets for sale for this game - only 600 left mind. Cant wait to see a half empty (at best) Olympic Stadium when they take on the likes of Stoke and Sunderland.
Capoue, Chiriches and Kaboul all training today (based on pictures on official site); all the Belgians and Pauli also training for what its worth.
My team: Hugo, Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Davies, Capoue, Holtby, Eriksen, Lamela, Lennon, Adebayor. SUBS: Vorm, Rose, Dier, Sandro, Townsend, Kane, Soldado.
