Particularly disappointed by Moyes’ use of Scamacca today. His preferred ‘no possession, counter attack’ system needs a forward like Antonio to work. So Scamacca flounders for a bit trying to play someone else’s game and is then hooked. It’s the Haller situation all over again.

West Ham are the Newcastle of the south, a club doing the bare minimum to survive on the pitch so it remains a vehicle to exploit the hearts, minds and wallets of its loyal fanbase off of it. Wake up and smell the popcorn.
15 richest clubs in the world. We are being fleeced. There is money, the board are lying. They’ve lied to us over and over again. They’re not fans, they’re using us as a cash cow. Everyone needs to wake up and chase them out of the club.

West Ham are starting the new season with more senior goalkeepers (4) than strikers (1) and fit centre backs (2) combined. However Moyes and Sullivan want to dress that up, that’s rank bad planning and, frankly, irresponsible management

Moyes on the difficulty in signing a striker: "I wouldn't say I'm overly confident. But I think that's mainly due to the availability. It's not that West Ham don't want to sign a striker, or the owners don't want to buy one. It's more to do with the availability."

In Moyes we trust and all that but can’t fathom how Fredericks was his only substitution (which, ironically, cost West Ham the game). If he doesn’t trust Vlasic, Kral etc then we need other options. Can’t go through the season flogging the same 11 or 12 players to death
