In the far fetched cult movie 'Kelly's Heroes' about a spectacular heist behind enemy lines, Donald Sutherland, who plays a 'hippy' maverick tank captain, questions why his co-conspirator Clint Eastwood doesn't "get with the program" and "why the negative vibes man?". Having overseen an impressive start to the season, guiding the club through some appallingly difficult , some say deliberately arranged early fixtures, Hammers manager David Moyes seems to have suffered a 'lack of conviction' in his team selection for recent games.

West Ham: Fabianski, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Coufal, Soucek, Rice, Johnson, Bowen, Noble (c), Haller Subs: Randolph, Fredericks, Dawson, Diop, Snodgrass, Fornals, Lanzini, Benrahma, Yarmolenko
Brighton: Sanchez, White, Webster, Dunk (c), March, Bissouma, Lallana, Burn, Trossard, Maupay, Welbeck Subs: Steele, Bernardo, Veltman, Mac Allister, Gross, Jahanbaksh, Alzate, Propper, Zeqiri

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise that Hammers manager David Moyes' patience has run out with the club's record signing, the misfit striker Sebastien Haller. Moyes didn't sign him, and perhaps the player himself would not have opted to move to the London Stadium had Moyes been in charge, either way the situation is a 'fait accompli' that suits neither party.
