A section of West Ham United fans have taken to Twitter to express their positive reactions after the starting line-up was announced to take on SCO Angers.
The Hammers have travelled to France to take on the Ligue One outfit, and confirmed Manuel Pellegrini’s starting XI via their official Twitter account, having won three of the previous six games, drawing two and losing one.
One of the new signings, Andriy Yarmolenko, has only made the bench for this match as he makes way for the returning forward Javier Hernandez.
New signings Lukasz Fabianski, Jack Wilshere, Fabian Balbuena and Felipe Anderson have all made the first team for tonight’s clash.
Comments from supporters included “my days that’s attacking”
Forever West Ham has rounded up some of the best tweets from Hammers’ fans:
OPINION
The announcement of the team for the match against SCO Angers has left a section of the Hammers’ fans rather excited. The fact that they have such an attacking team for this pre-season friendly, with some top-class talent on the bench, has got the supporters anticipating great things for the season ahead. This is a very strong team for a pre-season friendly, and Manuel Pellegrini has the ability to pick an even better team come the start of the Premier League season. This time last year, the fans would not have reacted in the same way to a starting line-up – and the fans may just be renewing their faith in the club’s hierarchy once again.
