Re: ✍ Welcome Danny Ings

To be honest I thought Ings was a Moyes signing until some of the ITKs here said otherwise. It makes sense though, Ings signed in the week that Moyes was "one game to save his job" against Lampard's Everton. It was essentially "Loser hires Dyche" so I doubt any chairman is signin...

Re: West Ham United -v- SC Freiburg - 2nd leg match thread - 14.03.24

I don't think Ogbonna is the right fit for this game. We won't be sitting deep as we're already one goal down and they'll be looking to counter, we need pace.

I'd stick with Mavropanos Aguerd

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I don't think the majority of our fans expect to be any where near the top 4.I certainly don't.I am happy with finishing Top 10 and a run in one of the cup's,just has long has I get a bit more entertainment.I know a lot of you go out to watch European games,so I do understand why you have such affe...

I agree with the first two, but I bet Brighton fans are saying the same about us.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Yep, However, in regards to solely results, i have doubts Moyes will be able to keep us up where we are in the 'best of the rest' tier though and, i would prefer a change in style anyway so, for my sins, i am still on the 'not renewing contract' side of the discussion I honestly don't know where I ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Over performing in the Euro comps maybe, but not in the league, we are roughly where we should be considering the annual spend It's not as simple as that. We're 10th/11th on wages and a terrible scouting team/lack of infrastructure/terrible ownership makes our record on transfers wobbly to say the ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

a more pertinant question for those who place a lot of importance in results, is whether they think Moyes will be able to maintain the current position? it isn't realistic, IMHO, for us fans to expect Moyes or a new manager to actually take the next leap forward, as that is almost impossible This i...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

As soon as someone starts bandying about "Moyes inners" and "Moyes outers" I just struggle to engage.

Why are we putting people in stringent camps? Surely people's opinions should be fluid? I've flip flopped internally about a new contract about 7 times this season.

Yes this is entirely on Moyes who didn't get his first choice centre back signing this year.

You're mad if you're saying finishing top 10, finishing bottom 10, and finishing top 10 over three years is "patently not the same" as finishing top 10, bottom 10, and finishing top 10 over three years. I genuinely don't know how to continue that conversation. :crylol: It's pretty disinge...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

On the striker issue when was the last time a manager bought a good striker? Haller failed under Pellegrini and Moyes, he actually had a better Goals to minute ratio under Moyes. Sakho, Carroll, Valencia, all hit and miss. Obviously Scamacca went wrong. The only strikers I can remember being really ...

He's actually the second, the first was David Moyes with Everton. :grin:

Can't make the game due to the kick off time. Massive shame as I've managed to go to lots of our European games.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Not really. Ings’ best position these days is one where Moyes is reluctant to use a forward-centric footballer (10). He won’t even play Paqueta there unless we’re struggling/losing. Agree it’s a shame. He’s a good player with something to offer that we often lack: technique, vision and composure. H...

Re: West Ham Utd V Burnley: match thread - 10.03.24

Didn’t deserve to win, and I think the players rescued a point for their manager. My issue with this is we rarely read it the other way around when discussing West Ham. It's always either "the player bailed the manager out" or "the manager ****ed it." Which to me doesn't make se...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I genuinely feel like we'd have a good chance of bringing in Jose Mourinho and I very much feel like it's a step we should take, but at the same time the fan base will be equally as divided. Getting rid of Moyes for a perceived negative style of play only to bring in Mourinho would be an absolutely...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

There is, there's Arnie Slot and he's supposed to be good He won't come mid-season, he also rejected Tottenham last summer so I don't see why he'd have changed his mind. Maybe he feels it's job done with Feyenoord now but I don't know. What's depressingly obvious is that we'll get our third or four...
