Manuel Lanzini has seen his role at West Ham change dramatically this season as the Argentine struggles to break into David Moyes‘ starting lineup.
However, as the Hammers prepare for the visit of London rivals Chelsea on Monday night, plenty of the Irons faithful have implored the manager to give the 27-year-old a starting berth.
The attacking midfielder has made six Premier League appearances (all as a substitute) this term, surmounting to just 106 minutes, during which limited time he managed to leave his mark on another London derby as his last-minute thunderbolt earned a point against Tottenham two months ago.
With 128 top-flight appearances in his six-year stint in east London, the midfielder – who was signed from Al Jazira after back-to-back loan spells -has been a superb servant to the club.
Having seemingly been on his way out the door at the London Stadium, these fans have called for Lanzini to start Monday night’s blockbuster at Stamford Bridge…
Twitter: Yes I personally would give Lanzini a few games now. As the last few times coming on as a sub he has looked decent https://t.co/rAXeK5gvsD (@ExWHUemployee)
Twitter: @ExWHUemployee Big fan of Formals but Lanzini would’ve put away at least half the chances he’s missed (@DDDAAA74)
Twitter: @ExWHUemployee Has to start against Chelsea IMO (@WestHam_Way)
Twitter: @ExWHUemployee I also think Lansing would link up better with Benrahma as they have similar mindsets and could pull… https://t.co/80Xu3kogYA (@Chez394)
Twitter: @ExWHUemployee Agreed. Fornals needs a break. (@Dave_delbecq)
Twitter: @mcgauley_sean Not in so many words – but Lanzini was excellent. Should start against Chelsea instead of Berahma who was really poor. (@AMoCS)
