[Archived] West Ham United (away - 7th May)

[Plastic Head]

One proper centre-back?

Two attacking full-backs?

Might as well plant a tree as have Roberts.

Predictable 4-0 defeat.

Mr Steve Kean you again prove yourself to be a cccc.

[AggyBlue]

Let's hope the ref stays impartial

Also hope Robinson has been practicing long range shot stopping.

[vintageadidas]

Why? He is sh1t!

[OsloRover]

One proper centre-back?

Surely Givet and Samba are both proper centre-backs?

[vintageadidas]

Its a disgrace the way Niko is being played around with this way. I mean come on.

Why? He is sh1t!

[chris]

Robbie Keane on the bench, interesting

I'm not happy with the lineup but let's wait and see what happens. Roberts averages about 5 goals a season and I think he has three so far so there is a chance he might have a couple of goals left in him this season.

EDIT: we're on Five Live according to website. Bear in mind that won't work via the web though ....http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live/

Think it will for a Five live commentary, just local radio that cuts out.

[Guest roverspogges]

Givet is a better CB than he is left back.

[chris]

not blaming Kean for that are you?

Mate give it a rest

Givet is a centre back. Injuries have stopped him picking his first choice line-up.

And tbf salgado is probably more attacking than bert.

Give the bloke a break

[Josh]

I'd rather be playing Givet at CB than Hanley

[ada2020]

To right, where the hell has this cult following emerged from?

Why do people see him as some sort of leading light in our squad?

[pick32]

Part from Roberts and M Diouf I think Keans put out a good team with all the injuries. Out of the two starting elevens I'd still take ours they hav a poor back five and shocking midfield, part from the strikers i'd only take Hitzlsperger.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Givet and Samba are centre backs, we just play Givet at LB because he's not good enough to displace Samba/Nelsen/Jones but he is too good to leave out.

He's the best of a bad bunch.

As are You, mate

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

the reaction on here is absolutely PATHETIC.

P.Jones is clearly injured, so the logical move is to put Givet at CB and move Olsson to left back.

Roberts is poor. Niko is poor. Benjani is poor. No one can say that Niko is a miss. He's not been effective for 2 years.

The line up makes complete sense considering the injuries.

Kean has his faults. But when people come on here and cry for any little reason its sad.

For all those who have decided that Kean is a moron due to this selection then please post an alternative 11 and I guaruntee that I could pick it to pieces.

[Gogger]

Could really do with P.Jones pace in this one. Formica on the bench, but no Kalinic...

to be fair it was the same every week under Sam, 'tis the brfcs way.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Kalinic hasn't ever done anything!!! How on earth can people claim that he'd be any more effective than Roberts?? I dont rate Roberts at all but Im not blind to notice that Niko is hardly any better.

[Hughesy]

Im glad Givet is centre back and not hanley....

Shame Olsson has to drop back but I think Hoilett will make up for the loss of him in midfield....

And also glad Diouf has been given a chance over Benjani (just a shame it wasnt instead of Roberts)

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I'm not knocking Kean, his choice is obviously limited by injuries. However that team is far from ideal. I'm not liking Ollsen at left back either.

It doesn't - same thing happens on Radio 5.

Spot on, now come on Rovers!!

Olsson was excellent vs Arsenal against Walcott so could work out.
