Re: ✍️ Welcome Michail Antonio

He still has a role to play for us; he'd be an excellent player to bring on with 20 to go. But the role he's playing now where he is expected to be battering ram, goal scorer, hold up man all in one just isn't fair on him. He's done it well for us for so long now but it falls on the manager who shou...

Re: West Ham Utd vs Everton: match thread

Paqueta's class but that give away, and on Thursday is why I think he's best suited to being cult hero for us than a generic player for Man City who won't tolerate those.

That little fracas is another reason I like Paqueta; always backs up his team mates in those situations.

Re: West Ham Utd vs Everton: match thread

Good 11.

My only complaint is it would have been good to have Mubama on the bench. Hopefully the kid gets some minutes against Arsenal at least.

Re: West Ham United vs Newcastle United: match thread

That was a product of Moyes tactics. Antonio, Paqueta, Emerson link up on the left giving Soucek the space in the middle to get into goal scoring position. The upturn in form and output of these players is no coincidence and owes a lot to Moyes. There's more to tactics than just sticking your flair ...

Potential banana skin avoided. Couldn't watch so can't comment on the performance but job done.

Re: Jesse Lingard

In an ideal world we wouldn't need him because of the emergence of Gideon Kodua ❤️. I agree with this. I don't have any particularly strong feelings about him signing on again but we have a few promising attackers from the youths (Mubama, Marshall, Kodua) who should be aiming to get decent minutes ...

Re: Summer 2023/24 Transfer Thread

I'd rather give Mubama and Marshall some minutes than this Alberto.

Unless we are bringing in someone proven who will be first choice I think we should create a pathway to the first team for these 2 who can't have done any more for the youth teams.

I think Moyesy got it all wrong today.
Not sure how anyone could have watched that games and say he 'got it all wrong'. That was one of the best executed away performances tactically i've seen!

Re: ⚽ Brighton & Hove Albion v West Ham Utd: match thread

20% possession but there was some outstanding football and interplay in there at times today.

Well done West Ham. That was Moyes at his finest

Re: ⚽ Brighton & Hove Albion v West Ham Utd: match thread

Give Mubama a 20 min run about and Antonio a well deserved rest.

I'd also bring on Fornals for JWP on a yellow.

Well done West Ham, perfect away performance this half against a very decent team.

Keep it up and we could be in for a very good season.

Re: Lucas Paquetá - Our Brazilian Magnifico

Pacqueta - absolute class. Got all the makings of a West Ham cult hero - the good and the bad.
If he stays I can see him being a Di Canio sort of figure for us. He's already got a few big moments under his belt already.
