West Ham have to stop relying on this man to bail them out of trouble. Last weekend showed the defensive frailties in midfield and defence. Watford are next up for the Hammers, who have looked a far cry from the side that reached the FA Cup final last season. One might say they are suffering […]
This weekend highlighted a recurring theme in West Ham’s engine room, if only they had one. West Ham’s failure to replace a prime Cheikh Kouyate has left a severe detachment between defence and attack since his subsequent dip in form and departure last season. For all of his technical faults, his style of play allowed […]
West Ham were held to a well-fought draw against Brighton at the Amex Stadium this afternoon. The Hammers looked out of their depth against Graham Potter’s new look side, with Brighton playing with energy in the first-half and West Ham struggled to match them or get into a rhythm. Manuel Pellegrini bought off Jack Wilshere […]
West Ham now face an away trip at Brighton to get their season back on track after a drubbing by Manchester City. The Seagulls sauntered into the new season with a 3-0 demolition of Watford, who looked to be enduring a hangover from last season. Graham Potter, formerly of Swansea City, made the move to the […]
Stan Collymore stoked the fire this weekend as he claimed that Wolves, Everton and West Ham United may be potentially in for Jose Mourinho, should their managers underperform this season. Whilst Collymore’s word isn’t exactly gospel, he made the interesting point that Mourinho’s move to Sky Sports as a pundit is indicative of the fact […]
History repeated itself on Saturday as West Ham slumped to a 5-0 defeat from Manchester City. Despite impressing early on, an injection of pace down the wing from Kyle Walker gave Jesus the opportunity to put his team in front. From then, we remained competitive but failed to look threatening. As is the case with […]
Tomorrow is the day our season kicks off and inevitably, as it has been for the past six seasons, West Ham face top-six opposition. Not only were they top six, they were champions, winning four domestic trophies, the first time an English side has done this. Manchester City are a formidable side with superstars starting, […]
Although a popular figure at West Ham, Adrian has always been at the mercy of the fans when it comes to judgement over his goalkeeping credentials. Bought in by Sam Allardyce on a free transfer from Real Betis, he appeared to be a perfect replacement for the ageing Jussi Jaaskaleinen. It wasn’t long before he […]
Rafinha is somewhat a forgotten man at Barcelona. In a team littered with superstars and La Masia graduates, he has fallen out of favour with Ernesto Valverde. With Barcelona looking to balance their books after the acquistion of Antoine Griezmann, and the possible transfer of Neymar, Rafinha could be available for a snip at £13 […]
West Ham beat Hertha Berlin in a 5-3 thriller as they continued their pre-season prepartion. Goals from Sebastien Haller, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals, Grady Diangana and Michail Antonio showed our attacking prowess ahead of the new season. Pellegrini appears to be implementing his philosophy on a side that little over a year ago was subject […]
A young Mark Noble makes his entrance under the Boleyn lights as a 16 year-old. The crowd become excited at the thought of the latest West Ham academy product to enter the field. He clearly has talent and the West Ham fans know they’ve got a player on their hands. Fast forward to 2019, that […]
We’ve signed a lot of great players this summer. Yarmelenko will add pace, goals and creativity from the wing in the absence of Lanzini. Fredericks will provide another outlet going forward in the absence of Zaba’s speed. Wilshere will give us another ball playing midfielder with the pass to open up defences. Throw in Felipe […]
