Forget Nuno Espírito Santo. Forget horseshoe football. Forget trying to second-guess what the West Ham manager might do!
Today, I'M THE MANAGER!
Welcome to the first episode of The Armchair Manager, a brand-new show on Claret and Booze where I take complete control of West Ham United, at least in my own head!
With West Ham travelling to Swansea City for another important Championship fixture, I'm putting myself in the manager's seat and explaining EXACTLY how I would approach this game.
No predicting Nuno's team selection. No trying to understand his tactical decisions. This is purely about what I would do if I were responsible for getting West Ham playing attractive, attacking, winning football.

⚽ SWANSEA CITY VS WEST HAM UNITED
It's time to put the tactics board to work!
Can we create a West Ham team that plays on the front foot, takes risks, creates chances and actually entertains the supporters?
Or am I about to discover that managing West Ham isn't quite as easy as shouting at Nuno from my armchair?
There's only one way to find out!
