If this is the gist of it, we'll be looking to go with four at the back sooner than later.
This line up looks very vulnerable to yellow cards, injuries and out of form players.

"West Ham fans (like Everton) seem to be miserable 90% of the time and they have a squad with a wage bill of £134m per annum. Always on at the board for not spending enough, on at the players for not trying enough, constantly at odds with each other. Quite honestly a miserable existence. If th...

Harrison is 21. He is old enough to be able to make a decison. He is old enough to understand how the football industry works. He should know that Newcastle has just been taken over by some of the wealthiest people in the business. He should know what has happened to footballers who are his age, who...

For all our faults, defensively we are pretty solid and very organised. Barely 2-3 shots on target allowed over the last two matches. That’s why I think we will scrape enough unexpected wins and draws to stay up. Pretty dull to watch in the meantime mind. My thoughts as well. Benrahma and Paqueta m...

Plenty

I know people who like certain players, who like to see certain type of football

So when Messi left for PSG, they watched them in the CL not BFC
Or when Guardiola took over Bayern, they followed their games

An easy sci-fi read, if you want to be somewhere else in time

Jose Saramago ~ Blindness Loved that book. Still my favourite from Jose. Since last I've been through https://d1w7fb2mkkr3kw.cloudfront.net/assets/images/book/lrg/9780/1410/9780141037172.jpg Quite enjoyable book about how the centre of Europe, the german lands, have influenced the histories of all ...

If they were paid equally, you'd book a table at a restaurant and drove there in your Land Rover....just a thought...

Unlike the quote, that puts the managers responsibilities on the shoulders of the players

If tactics didn't win you games, there wouldn't be any need to employ managers....

To be honest, haven't we seen Antonio putting Antonio first most of the times he's had the ball, as well?

As they say in the Epic movie Frozen.....Let it go, let it gooo!!!!

Thank you for the memories

It's not moaning. What you are describing is what some call mindfull attentiveness / mindfullness.

But why is vinyl being kept alive? For me, and plenty more like me who enjoy putting on a record and listening to a piece of music as a kind of ritual. Just as reading a physical book, going to a theater to see people live not on Netflix, making food by cooking it yourself not going to KFC.... My i...

There

the current media campaign appears to me to be a deliberate tapping up ploy by Arsenal loyalists in order to turn his head their way and try and get him to force the transfer. Do you, in all seriousness, believe that a football player and his agents, are going to force a move from one club to anoth...

We have a big stadium. So what?
What is the best naming rights in the league? Man City? Is it £15M a year?

We need so much more....

Could we repeat a previous Moyes season, not a previous West Ham one?

Who cares what big spending club he will end up in?

He'll play against us, and he'll play to win.

Needs to build up his stamina, hopefully Moyes has him on a training schedule from Monday and onwards
