Yes .
I know it’s all about the squad but I would be a bit peed off if I was on a hat trick against 10 men and the manager subs me.
Impressive display even before the red .
His hammies could literally ping at any time. It's a constant source of stress when watching.
Plus, it gave the crowd the chance to give him a special cheer, which was great
 
Why don't you buy a striker or something?

If only. Moyes did hit it on the head that he doesn't want to just buy a striker to say right we have bought a striker. He wants the right player to fit his close knit squad who will play the way we play

Rather than when we paid 45 million for Haller who was great but didn't suit our system

He got lingard in instead as he could play anywhere in a front 3 and play a false 9 and proved him right

If only it’s that easy for clubs , West Ham just like Newcastle have spent a fair amount looking for a striker in the past and it’s very hard to judge - look at players like Joelinton , Haller , Soldaldo for examples of strikers that have arrived in the Prem scoring goals but flop because it’s a different ball game

Also a lot of teams are moving away from the traditional striker/no 9 and getting players that are more flexible to play across the front line

Watching West Ham last night they looked to have a good balance with Bowen , Benhrama and Fornals behind Antonio who seemed to do a lot a great work down the channels and which allowed those other three to float in. Someone like Lingard would be the type of player they would look to bring in but they need someone because Antonio has issues with his hamstrings.
 
So Real Madrid with a gross debt of around £700mil have bid £137mil for Mbappe - amazing
 
Just seen on Twitter that Elland Rd as been voted the best atmosphere in the Premier league.
Thoughts?

How many games have there been with a crowd in the premier League (since they came up??) I mean it was fanless ....
 
Newcastle as got to be up there.

Nah are you joking? The new stadium has killed the atmosphere there, it's just a sort of murmuring goes off there now, never any sort of proper singing and what you would call a football atmosphere. Then again have you met a happy Newcastle fan over the last 20 years? :ROFLMAO:
