Judging by the lack of creative inspiration last Saturday against
Spurs, I think we need to change the two forwards. Play Kitson
and todorov up front (Defoe gets last half an hour). James in goal,
Minto, Repka, Foxe and Schemmel at the back. Three across
the midfield - Cole, Sinclair and Courtois, with big Don playing
just off the front two in a 4-3-1-2. I'll be there on Saturday,
up the 'Ammers!

My formation would have to be 4-4-2 with David James in goal, Scott
Minto on the left, Hayden Foxe and Tomas Repka in the middle and
Sebastien Schemmel on the right. My midfield would be Laurent
Courtois on the left, Joe Cole and Don Hutchison in the middle and
Trevor Sinclair on the right and my front line would be Jermain
Defoe and Paul Kitson.

I believe that, given Sunderland play a route one style
and 4-4-2, the Hammers should go for a 3-5-2 formation. Team would
be: James in goal, Schemmel and Minto as wing backs, Foxe, Repka
and Dailly as centre backs to combat Quinn's height, Moncur and
Hutchison in the middle and Cole operating behind the front two of
Kitson and Defoe. I would say both Schemmel and Minto would need to
be more of a defensive unit as the Sunderland full-backs like to
push on. A lot of emphasis would be placed on Cole to find
space and slip balls in to the front two, something sadly lacking
against Spurs where high balls were pumped forward too often.
Dean Park, Chafford Hundred, Essex
I think that we should go for a four man defence and have Joe
Cole just behind Kitson and Defoe, with Don Hutchison holding the
midfield and not coming forward much. We got beat badly in midfield
by Spurs as they had too much time on the ball and we could not get
our passing game together.
