New team is needed. I would even put Mavro in for Mustafi.
I cannot believe that I am so nervous before a home game against a fairly poor West Ham side.

We are normally slow starters, I cannot remember when we won our first home game of the season (Defeats against Villa, Liverpool, West Ham and Man City (last week) in the last few seasons spring to mind).

However, there is a lot more riding on this game than just the three points. If we lose, doubts will start to creep in regarding the new Manager’s philosophy and that may have a Physiological effect going forward.

Make no doubt, this is a big game no matter how early in the season.

COYG!
