Yes penzance Moyes should have played 3 up front with Haller so he wouldn't have to move about at all. Pellegrini bought  the player which just about sums up that manager as well.

It's the end result that counts but at the moment I think the team are doing slightly better than flirting with relegation. All the managers I can ever remember make some bad buys but 45 million is not one West Ham can afford. Arnautovic did nothing until Moyes arrived which also tells you the difference between the two.

Pellegrini's won the Premiership.
Moyes lasted less than a year at
Man United and  R.Sociedad got
rid of him pronto.
Moyes will always be a negative manager.

I was there that day as usual on the North Bank and it wasn't the first time our inability to defend properly had cost us. Bobby Moore knew it and it's all there in his book.

You must be patient penzance as it takes time to build a successful team and whilst the FA Cup might be an attraction at the moment I would like to see a challenge for the title eventually. I have been a fan since 1954 and only once in all that time have we ever challenged for the title which was in the 1985/86 season. Of course it is almost impossible to challenge the top clubs these days due to their unlimited funds to buy the best players and so it will take even longer than ever to build a successful side.

you can't judge players in those conditions.

8 Minutes into his Ajax debut Haller scores, you couldn't make it up. He is like a child in a candy store, to be fair the crosses are reigning in.

You may well be right penzance, I was a bit tongue in cheek, he still looks useless though

for all the posession we had,Pope
did'nt have much to do.A wins a win.
Still play at a slow tempo.

Good result Positive team and us fans
Been let down by lanzini which ain’t surprising cos gone player
And benrahma who not cutting it imo
Can’t believe I’m say this rather toenails played then them

Upton Park green street
Bet it was different sight to behold than now
Which I haven’t been too in years ,
No need any more
No working mans club , no football secondly

Lanzini he finished, I’m disappointed in benrahma he’s long way from finished article but his price tag
No way anyone pay 40 mil for him for **** step over no end goods
Dawson Well he’s been fantastic

I’d give the wonky pair lanzini and benrahma outing in the cup game

Get Decent striker rocking horse **** mind you
Bowen and Antonio either side
Tonails rice souck engine room
Where be happy

ashbourne.....If you read through this thread you will see that great credit has been given to Moyes for the progress made.

ashbourne......There is some truth in what you say but I hope our fans are now being won over by what Moyes is achieving .

West Ham are delighted with their revival under David Moyes and intend to reward him with a new contract at the end of the season.

Moyes is nearing the end of his 18-month deal, and although that includes an option for a further year, the desire is to hand him a long-term contract. The situation is different from the Scot’s first spell at the London Stadium. Although Moyes saved West Ham from relegation after replacing Slaven Bilic on a six-month deal in November 2018, the board decided to go in a different direction at the end of the campaign, hiring Manuel Pellegrini.


Senior figures at West Ham accept that it was a mistake not to keep Moyes, who returned for a second spell after replacing Pellegrini in December 2019. After staying up last season West Ham lie seventh, two points below fourth-placed Liverpool.

In normal circumstances West Ham might already have offered Moyes fresh terms. However the financial impact of the pandemic means they are unsure what they would be able to offer the former Everton manager were negotiations to begin now. They hope the picture will be clearer in May.

Moyes is understood to be relaxed about the situation. He is settled at West Ham and offers them welcome stability. He has made the team harder to beat and has impressed with a limited budget in the transfer market. Jarrod Bowen, Tomas Soucek, Craig Dawson and Vladimir Coufal have been excellent since joining.

The immediate challenge for West Ham is whether they can sign a striker. They sold Sébastien Haller to Ajax for £20m this month and are exploring options after having bids for Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri and Montpellier’s Gaëtan Laborde rejected. They have looked at Bournemouth’s Joshua King, Cagliari’s Gio Simeone and Reims’ Boulaye Dia. Eintracht Frankfurt’s André Silva, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season, could be available at the right price.

Moyes has always adopted a cautious approach with transfers. If the right player is not available, it is understood that West Ham are prepared to sign a striker on a short-term loan and wait until the summer before spending.

Rice may go for as little as £50m.  Apparently the p@ndem1c is pushing prices down.  He might stay if the board showed a little ambition but don't hold your breath expecting them to show any.  #nextlevel

In the past we regularly lost games against lower league teams but far more professional these days.

Excellent so far.
Keep doing what they are and
they should win this.Can see
us scoreing again.

Nice win today against a team who did the double over us last season. Decent all round performance although Antonio will be disappointed having hit the post twice and missed a couple more chances as well.

Unbelievable when you think we had lamp post up top
As many games as Antonio played some silly draws too
That tream tonight is our first 11
Can we add to that
Surly dido brothers want build on it
Acid test Sunday pool !!
