Paqueta, Lanzini, Bowen, Benrahma, Scamacca

Though not all of these guys will be on the pitch the next time we're in a shootout

But it's true - I'm rarely wrong - but just don't check that with my wife and kids

Reading between the lines from comments I've heard from the players, using my intuition/imagination, watching the matches and generally just making it up, I think the following has happened. The players were seeing that Moyes' park the bus, have no possession, stay on the back foot and see what will...

"You can be optimistic and hopeful but you can also acknowledge and discuss when he has made an error or put in a sub-par performance"

And I think that you yourself have acknowledged that I've done just that in my post

Oops - looks like he just scored an own goal!
I should have kept quiet

One of the points you were making was that "Everything points to Kehrer being a good signing for West Ham - his age, his stats, his career, his height and physicality and previous transfer fees". Having seen his performances (which you admit have been not great), and if you know (watching...

Photos of Zouma back in with the rest of the squad after their holiday. Looks like that surgery was nothing more than cleaning up some niggles. I really hope that's true, yes indeed Most of this thread highlights for me the strange way West Ham go about releasing injury/recovery info I get it that,...

He ditched Ireland for England, for the sake of his international career. He will leave West Ham for the sake of his club career. The two are probably intertwined. Yes that's undoubtedly true, and, as a pragmatist, I don't see a whole lot wrong with it It's the way things go - it's why Downes didn'...

I know about his performances, I watch every WH match and I know full well that he's had quite a few poor matches and made some mistakes. We all know that, so there's no point coming on here and pointing out something that is obvious The point I'm making is a different one. I'm saying that when my c...

Can we buy Saiss to play alongside him? Absolute brick wall those two were against the mayo and chips boys. I was thinking that too, he's having a good World Cup and complements Aguerd well, despite the feft foot/right foot thing He's 33 next March, playing at Besiktas - could be a short term loan ...

I think Paqueta is a very good player who has the skill and physical strenth to be very good for us However he's finding it hard to get used to the Premier League and wasn't helped by picking up that strange should injury, which set him back just as he was getting going. I also feel that he's not he...

One of the things that often surprises me is that when a group of fans decide that a player isn't any good they almost seem pleased when he makes mistakes or has a bad match, gets subbed early, scores an own goal or gets carded. I don't get that, I really don't. Everything points to Kehrer being a g...

He's having a decent match v Belgium

Interesting & strange that he's left footed but playing the right sided CB while right footed Saiss is playing on the left
You don't see that often in football these days

A lifelong Iron, I live in beautiful, rainy San Sebastian and I'm a season ticket holder at Real Sociedad where David Moyes had an unhappy and unsuccesful year back in 2014/15. Based on having watched him closely at Sociedad and from what I'd seen from afar when he was at Man U and Sunderland I was ...

Coufal's form hasn't "dipped" - he had a hernia operation, had an op and hasn't played for 6 weeks! I think Ben Johnson has done well enough, but right now Vlad is stillthe best RB at the club. Just hope that Johnson doesn't get lost by virtue of his versatility - it sometimes happens that...

I think he's got at least another season in him. It's not like Zabaleta's final year with us when you could tell his legs were gone and he was starting to look like a liability. We'd do well to sign anyone who would walk into the team ahead of him - particularly in terms of reliability, corner taki...

I really like Fab and I think he's had a great season - probably much better than most people might have expected given his age. He's probably also a very good influence in the dressing room and around the club in general. That said, I think that Areola is a better keeper all round and will be more ...

It will be interesting to see how Rice and Soucek cope with Rakitic this evening. He's getting on a bit now, but I think he's a really brilliant player - the very definition of the kind of box to box midfield player that Declan and Tomas could be and almost are. Rakitic started out as a more defensi...

I can live with us not having signed anyone in January - I think the mistakes were made in the summer, not in Janaury. If there wasn't a decent back up striker available I'll go along with that, even if I don't really believe it. For what remains of the season we can keep our fingers crossed on Mike...
