We are doing ok,despite the owners.That is down to Moyes and the backroom staff and nobody else.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:10 amShortshanks wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 1:57 pm And just for the record seeing as some have brought up Pellegrini, and I'm not a fan because in my eyes anyone who plays that fucking tortoise in our midfield I have reservations about, his record is vastly superior to Moyes even at West Ham.
That is true. He won titles in Madrid and Manchester and took unfashionable Spanish sides to the CL semi fibnal (Villarreal) and the quarters (Malaga)..
Is it a coincidence the only club he is perceived to have been a "failure" at is West Ham ? And even there in his first season we finished in our highest position, apart from the Payet season, for many years.
That said Moyes is doing a decent job with a fairly limited squad at the moment so I am quite prepared to accept he is the best we're likely to get, or deserve, and get behind the bloke.
I think we did do that with Haller, at the time his stats were phenomenal and Gonzo was raging about him long before we signed him. He was as close to world class as a club like us are going to get.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 4:15 pm
And all very well and good saying let's bring in a top class striker. Top class strikers don't join clubs like West Ham. We will have to either bring in a once decent striker now past his sell by or take a punt on someone like Bowen. A Championship player who the coaches feel has the ability to make the step up.
He certainly isn't crap. We've all been guilty of using words like that for someone who has performed badly in a match or , like Haller, just hasn't fitted into our system. The failure to fit into the system and perform badly would surely affect a player who may then appear , by his body language, to be pissed off, further alienating some fans.BCHammer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 4:06 amI think we did do that with Haller, at the time his stats were phenomenal and Gonzo was raging about him long before we signed him.

He is not crap and Moyes has to make him work. Antonio is going to get injured again this season and everyone involved has to get Haller firing.
We are playing closer to how he did at Frankfurt. Benrahma could be the answer but a) it seems too soon for his match fitness this weekend and b) dropping Fornals/Lanzini will leave us a bit week in the AM role, but against Fulham etc it might not be a problem..
Results back today apparently.terrya1965 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:01 am I haven`t actually seen anything about Antonio being out?Just rumours.
