Yes folks, it's the "Barry McGuigan" as West ham face the Red Devils tonight at Ye Olde Trafford. Just when it looked like Nuno had turned things around, the Hammers had a nivhtmare against stuttering Liverpool on Sunday. Pool were there for the takibg but Nuno's troops failed to maintain their recent momentum and were easily beaten 2-0.
To add salt to the wounds, Lucas Paqueta decided to get himself needlessly sent off in a bizarre display of childish petulance that forced the ref to deliver a yellow and then a red card for persistent arguing.
Without Somerville to add width, Jarrod Bowen has been double marked and up front the Hamners look frail.
The odds are that Soucek will return, which will add some mscle and aerial impact but just now its hard to see how Nuno's boys can pull off a much needed victory tonight.
With Brighton, Villa and Man City in the pipeline its gonna take some big performanxes to avoid being in the drop zone at Christmas.
COYI!!!
