Well having set our sights on an enjoyable and informative friendly in France yesterday, what we saw was the complete opposite, a nightmare inducing Deja Vu of Hammers at their worst last season! Slow, ponderous and predictable are words that spring to mind.

Rennes were really up for it and it showed, Hammers on the other hand looked as if they had just turned up expecting a 'goose green' training session! It may seem politically incorrect to mention it, but the only transfer activity on show was Danny Ings 'hair transfer'.

Stade Rennais: Mandanda, Assignon, Omari, Theate, Belocian, Santamaria, Bourigeaud (c), Majer, D.Doue, Doku, Abline. Subs: TBC
West Ham: Areola, Zouma, Cofal, Fornals, Paqueta, Downes, Ings, Benrahma, Aguerd (c), Soucek, Emerson. Subs: Fabianski, Scamacca, Cornet, Bowen, Ogbonna, Kehrer, Coventry, Mubama.

Harry Maguire is a good defender who only seems to perform at his best while representing England. He is an extremely highly paid 30 year old who has just been stripped of the captain's armband and been deemed surplus to requirements by Eric Ten Hag.
