Just heard MOYES comments saying the players that normally play for him are letting him down do me a favour we've spent fortunes this window and apart from KEHRER which was forced upon him he hasn't started with majority of these players nobody is going to tell me that SCAMMACA,CORNET,DOWNES,EMERSON,AREOLA,have had a fair crack at it you cannot judge players on a few hours of play in a west ham shirt then I nearly crashed my car when Graeme souness said what has happened to SCAMACCA are we talking about a player who has had a season in a west ham shirt what a plank the young lad has had about 3hours in a west ham shirt what has happened to SCAMACCA is he for real clueless or was he sticking up for his Scottish counterpart,if the players over achieved last season doesn't mean we are meant to have a poor season the next I'm sorry but CRESSWELL needs to be dropped as does COUFAL IMO I'd push KEHRER to r/b and put Dawson or ogbonna in till AUGERD is match fit I truly believe BOWEN and SOUCEK should be dropped to the bench FORNALS isn't performing but is being asked to play out of position he ain't a winger and isn't going to beat players with pace and how refreshing it was to see a 15 year old lad make his 1st team debut something which will never happen under MOYES.

Confidence is low and moyes needs to take risks!

I would like to see scammaca and Antonio playing together, I am sure that Antonio occupying defenders would free up scammaca.

My team for next game would be

Fabianski

Kehrer Dawson zouma
Cornet paqueta soucek rice lanzini
Antonio scammaca

We need soucek to push forward and rice to sit back, play to their strengths and not to where the players want to play.

Paqueta needs to relax and stop trying too hard, his game will come.
Need to get a few wins and confidence up otherwise I fear for moyes as we cannot get dragged into a relegation battle and it creeps up on you.
Team are generally playing ok without any threats to opponents goal,

Come on SDL your either with Moyes or against him little digs at people is a bit low so please can you tell me if you back MOYES or you don't because I'm confused one minute your slagging him off and then people like me have their opinion you back him, PAQUETA hasn't adjusted yet to the pace of the premier league and when we were losing against EVERTON was it the right call to pull him off at about 60 minutes the one player who could produce a bit of magic is him just because he hasn't settled doesn't mean he can't produce one bit of play that will unlock their defence what's your opinion on SCAMACCA playing in Europe scoring a cracker and then benched for the next so the way DM is using CORNET and SCAMACCA in Europe then they are benched in the next premier league game and I ain't having that they were asked to play on Sunday and SCAMACCA was off with a virus for two games as he was taken off like PAQUETA on 60 minutes and DOWNES being dropped so come on please give your opinions on these players and you obviously back MOYES the one trick pony who has taken WEST HAM as far as he's capable of like Everton who were always safe but never successful under him and SUNDERLAND,REAL SOCIADAD and I thought he was treated unfairly at UTD but was out of his depth so when you spend £180 odd million on players who ain't kids then give them a fair run in the team and the way he's treated BENRHAMA is disgusting the man has no man management skills and is tactically inept,when we are losing its so predictable on 65 or 70 minutes take ANTONIO off and replace him with SCAMACCA its like clockwork why not play 2up front you are losing MOYES not settling for a 1-0 Defeat he won't get the sack and he knows it and apparently he's been assured his job is safe why not turn the buck and tell him he's got 2 games to turn things around as that's 1 game more than he gives a few of the players he benches after one game as I've had enough and 75 per cent of WEST HAM SUPPORTERS have as well.

Whorya, great post and entirely agree with your comments?Think Sdl is looking at it in a calm measured response, but I am as pissed off as you are with his tactics, yes he has massive experience, but all Premiership Managers have because they were also players! But that doesn’t mean fans are wrong disagreeing with tactics? We are now so boring and predictable, have some of the players become disillusioned with DM?
I was never an admirer of Benrahma but he has been the best player at times when bought on, I cannot say that of any other player! Buying new players and not playing them is an insult, they will get pissed off with that, if we were in the top 6 then yes maybe a reason but not in the relegation zone! Come on the Board, you can’t enjoy watching the s—-t we have been watching, £180m spent and in the relegation zone!⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒

Yup lots out there feel the same Whoray and its the frustration that annoys people and that's why they complain. Its the same, week in, week out. If its not working and players are not playing then drop them. Look what Conte did with Son at Spurs and look what happened. Something has to change and if

Agree with you guys, and unfortunately the issue is that players are underperforming but Moyes sticks with them. He either changes things or he will be changed. Bring Ashby or kehrer in for coufal, get Zouma, Ogbonna and Dawson at the back again and play a back 3. Drop cresswell who I think is finished at this level, get downes in for soucek and just try something different. PLay 2 up front with Emerson, Paqueta and Berahma allowed to float just anything to change it

Hiya Chelmsford thanks for your comments I agree that SDL comments are calming but I can't work out if he agrees with MOYES tactics and team selection as nobody in their right mind can be happy with DM I understand the players need to perform but playing them out of position brings me straight back to HALLER and what happened with him and that can't be right he's also playing PAQUETA not in his favourite position so another player like FORNALS who ain't a winger I'm so annoyed with DM's comments about players who have performed for him in the past are letting him down that's why the board spent £180 odd million

Whorya I am neither for or against Moyes, but most definitely for West Ham. I am as frustrated as everyone else, we wasted the January transfer window bidding for players we wouldn't get and then wasted most of the summer doing the same and while we brought in some good players at the end it was a bit late and we were weeks behind other clubs. My point is that calling for a managers head, which is now all over social media and the printed media, is not going to provide stability. As I have written the board will make a decision when they feel it is warranted, but fans getting on the managers back is only going to make the situation worse.
You mention playing at quite a high level, I too at least at youth level, played at a very high level. In fact players I played with went on to play professional level and some International football (in fairness I was probably the worst in the team LOL). At times I like to think I know how to fix the issues but again in fairness I don't have that experience under pressure of managing a Premier League side.
Yes I think a different line-up may help, some change in formation, but the statistics show that some of the players aren't working very hard and it doesn't matter what formation you choose that won't change. So then you look at changing players. Moyes has clearly tried to put Paqueta in the hole behind the attacker. This means he needs to put someone out wide and Benrahma and Cornet don't work back hard enough, so he puts Fornals out there while Paqueta gets used to the speed of the Premier League as Bowen and Fornals will work back. Let's take Fornals out of the role because he isn't providing much going forward and isn't a winger. Suddenly Cresswell is under all sorts of pressure and we know how he goes with that.
Then you switch Emerson for Cresswell, another player very good going forward but less effective defending and when Benrahma leaves him 2 on 1 you are asking for trouble.
I do think maybe Antonio out there with Scammacca through the middle might work.
But see I doubt everyone agrees with what I have suggested but it is damn easy to sit and suggest what needs changing but harder to actually do it.
If Moyes does go unless we get a Pochetino who will no doubt want Champions League who do you think we would get? Dyche? Benitez? May as well get Pellegrini back LOL.
I just think people should get behind the manager until the board decide that a change is needed. There is a lot wrong but regardless of which XI any of us would prefer, the XI that lined up against Everton should have been good enough but some didn't really give their best and haven't for some time. I would be hauling in some and asking them if they really want to play as some don't show signs of it.
Yes again you can say that is the managers job but will asking for his head fix it?

Daisy I don't think Ashby is the answer if he wants to leave.

I actually think that pochettino would jump at the chance to go back to London, and he would be taking on a good team on paper, we have been unlucky with injuries but we now have a squad and we should still be able to compete.

As I said previously we are not looking that bad but no threat on opponents goal, soucek is out of position and was moved to DM in order to appease Rice, put rice back in his DM role and let soucek do what he does best and get in scoring positions, Rice is gone the end of this season so let’s not bow down to him in the hope he stays.
We should give Antonio, scammaca and cornet the forward roles, drop bowen to the bench as he has offered very little and needs a kick up the arris!
Moyes has been s good manager for West Ham but I do fear for him as we look very boring.
We could always look at Rodger’s if he becomes available, would be a travesty if he got sacked considering Leicester have sold a load and not recruited, hardly his fault.

Agree on Rice. Have said before would never have given him the captaincy and certainly wouldn't be letting him dictate where he plays if that is in fact happening. Unless Rice commits to staying then we have to assume otherwise and use him as best we can for the season but not to the detriment of other players. But not sure that is Soucek's key issue and the passes he played against Everton, no matter where you play you don't play that badly without having issues going on in your head.

Sorry I don't mean to sound argumentative but EMERSON can't defend the guys got 29 Italy caps your the one saying EMERSON can't defend the one who can't defend is CRESSWELL he's finished and on one occasion EMERTON strated he started in front of the fantastic player CRESSWELL or I forgot and defender sorry SDL and when has EMERSON and BENRHAMA been in the same team and if MOYES tells EMERSON your not in the team to go forward only when your told to and there's cover then I'm sure he do that for the 29 capped ENGLISH MAN CRESSWELL sorry I mad a mistake EMERSON, my brother is a Chelsea season ticket holder and I said to him what do you think of EMERSON I'll tell you no lies he said he's better than ALONSO and I think he was harshly treated as when other players were fit who could play there he's was made the scapegoat, you also said that for nals is only playing out wide is until PAQUETA is used to the speed of the premier league no PAQUETA isn't a winger he's a no10 primarily that's his best position but pretty sure he will be used as a holding mid under DM like he did with LANZINI last season but this is why we are basically a counter attacking team I'll tell you why SDL it's because he likes our WINGERS to track back 100 per cent of the time well that isn't their job only if the full backs are being overrun time after time and being isolated the full backs first job is to to defend if the ir wide player beats our full back one on one then you have to hold your hands up and say great play if our wingers are constantly tracking back where's our out ball nowhere and that is why a back four are constantly having to defend as the ball gets pumped up for ANTONIO to use his speed and that's the same reason HALLER wasn't suited to DM tactics and formations as the ball was constantly being played up around his neck or he was being asked to use his pace which HALLER wasn't that type of player and PAQUETA hasn't played behind the front man yet he's picking the ball up far too deep and DM will ruin the lad trust me he ain't moyes type of player Imo he likes like the sound of it you my friend do of players breaking their neck tracking back this is exactly why SOUCEK isn't the same player as he Imo is being told of his defensive duties and when we are getting not enought bodies forward you ain't going to score goals and that's what's happening at the moment teams have worked out DM and his one trick pony tactic's can I please ask you a friendly question as I've supported and followed my beloved WEST HAM UNITED all over the country for at least 35 years I'm 53 and only go to a few away games but most home games and my feelings are very similar to a lot of fans I speak to they have had enough of DM not just this season but the backend of last the writing was on the wall the last 10-14 games now we got to the semiddle finals of EUROPE so does that mean we have to put up with DM as he's achieved this and trust me what is saI'd in the press and what we right is going to lean towards the board to change our manager or the way DM manages as it won't change one iota to the above mentioned and that for me is as confusing as your post aimed at me mate I'm the first to hold my hands up if I'm wrong and Chelmsford will agree to that we haven't always agreed or we've have little digs about players but he's thankfully anti DM team tactics and selection's and that man will be the first to admit he hasn't always been for certain players like BENRHAMA but he has postep that he's been probably our best player this season or close to and it's always him BENRHAMA that gets dropped or taken off what must this be doing to his confidence and in there inlays my no 1 problem I have in MOYES.

23 Sep 2022 23:11:06
This text will be shorter I hope SDL right you said CORNET,BENRAHAMA ain't defensive minded to plays as a winger that's why he sticks FORNALS out there and EMERSON can't defend I haven't the answer of managers choices as I haven't thought hard enough about as it's not the present and you know as well as I do that SULLY AND GOLD don't sack managers like most in the premier league but on your post why was CORNET and BENRAHAMA signed if MOYES only sign's wingers that are defence minded nonsense I'm starting to think you are MOYES are you lol.

16.) 24 Sep 2022
24 Sep 2022 03:04:47
LOL, he signed them to go forward one hopes. What we didn't get in the window was a left back who can defend. I assume Moyes really wants to go to a back 3 with wing backs and when Aguerd returns that is where it will go. Fabianski - Zouma, Aguerd, Kehrer, - Coufal, Emerson (as wing backs) - Bowen, Rice, Cornet - Antonio, Scamacca.

24 Sep 2022 03:06:15
As for Cresswell v Emerson, where did I say Cresswell was better than Emerson? As for playing for Italy, have a look at how they line up and who plays in the centre. You are comparing apples and pears.

18.) 24 Sep 2022
24 Sep 2022 11:59:36
You said EMERSON can't defend he's better going forward they are both L/B and that's the same have you eaten apples and pears they ain't the same.

19.) 24 Sep 2022
24 Sep 2022 12:08:22
And EMERSON was signed as a left back and what's their first job DEFEND so MOYES signed him as a left midfield or a bomber going forward I will argue a million times with you SDL on who's the better defender out of those 2 as CRESSWELLS bad defending could have cost us our only chance of silverware last season hindsight yes but fact he can't defend and gets found out for pace and defensive frailties that's a fact he's far to old and a liability he does the easy things OK but he's a very well paid professional who at the very least should be competent to do that come on SDL really.

20.) 24 Sep 2022
24 Sep 2022 12:53:16
Emerson is better at going forward than he is defending. I said "another player very good going forward but less effective defending" which is different to what you wrote "You said EMERSON can't defend". At least if you are going to disagree, then disagree with what I wrote, not your own version. Emerson was not signed as a left back, he was signed as a player, the club does not need to define, and does not define, what a person is. This isn't football manager.

21.) 24 Sep 2022
24 Sep 2022 13:20:53
Our issue has been the same for god knows how long. Our full backs are poor. We could have gone for sosa, gremendi, maehle, rahm etc but no he sticks with coufal and Cresswell who are both passed their prime

22.) 24 Sep 2022
24 Sep 2022 23:08:33
And there in lies the issue at least on that side. Emerson plays in a midfield 5 for Italy as a wing back and yet we are playing with a back 4 and so he persists with Cresswell. If we had Aguerd back we could play a back 3 with Emerson as wing back which would be more natural for him. Then the problem comes on the right as Coufal doesn’t appear comfortable as a wing back the few times it has been tried, but maybe he would with a few more games. But yes, we failed to sign a left back who plays that role naturally.

23.) 28 Sep 2022
28 Sep 2022 17:19:58
The should have been a comma in between as I know EMERSON can defend and has plenty of pace to defend against wingers with pace SDL.
