Will Moyes Stick Or Twist

Balancing how to compete in four competitions during the season is part and part of being a successful manager of a 'successful' team, but with it comes some serious issues and responsibilities that catch many out, even the much lauded Sir Alex Ferguson had little in HIS European trophy cabinet during his lengthy and well funded tenure at Manchester United.

Just in case you hadn't seen, the London Over Ground is NOT working in ANY capacity today ( 01.10.22) for at least 24 Hrs on what is a rarity, a Saturday kick off a the Queen Elizabeth 11 Stadium, albeit one that was moved from the traditional but never seen 3PM time slot!

Strange how there are NO disruption disputes when Major 'Sadist' Khan's Tottingham are playing at home isn't it? But you can guarantee that when West Ham are at home there will be all sorts of 'urgent' works that need to be carried out towards Hackney Wick and Stratford.

Having finished in the top six in the previous season and top seven in the last, David Moyes had his sights set on confirming the club's 'best of the rest' status this season, unfortunately instead of being in the top six of the Premier League he finds himself in a rather different top six, one which he would far rather be disassociated with, the tops six in the next manager to be sacked race!

With players off to all parts of the globe, including Michail Antonio's ludicrous crossing over to the Americas to play in a dead rubber defeat to Lionel Messi's Argentina, the club's medical staff feared the worst of what is the beginning of the deadly dozen of games ahead, NINE of which will occur between the beginning and end of October alone!

There's nothing like the buzz at an English football match. The atmosphere, the intensity: it's what makes the game special. And it turns out that betting companies and online casinos from aussielowdepositcasino have been sponsoring many of these teams for years now. English football clubs don't need to go looking for sponsors.

Thilo Kehrer's 'bargain' transfer from PSG is starting to look like one of the deals of the window, at just £10 Million Kehrer, already a fan favourite is destined for great things at the club, the only issue for David Moyes is keeping a centre back happy while playing him as a right back!

Thilo Kehrer’s game by numbers vs England were impressive: 100% long passes completed- 82 total touches - 77.8% pass accuracy- 4/6 tackles won-4 ball recoveries 4- clearances, all these stats are from Thilo playing in the 'unfamiliar' right back role.

Once Hammers fans gazed enviously at how many International players their competitors had away representing their countries, now they are experiencing the feeling for themselves, with mixed emotions. Be careful what you wish for is an expression remorselesly rolled out regarding the aspirations of the supporters of 'elite level' football clubs and it rings as true today as it has in the past!

The International break used to be a time when West Ham managers historically were able to work with their squad in order to 'catch' some teams by surprise when the domestic games returned, well that is all a thing of the past now with virtually ALL of Hammers first team or there abouts being called up to represent their countries.

News that Mark Noble will be returning to the club as 'sporting director' has generally been greeted with joy and enthusiasm by most Hammers fans, it is clearly obvious that his presence has been missing since he retired at the end of last season, but what can he bring to the club in his new role?
