David Moyes is an experienced Premier League football manager, however his lengthy 'sabatical' from the game has ensured that he has become locked in a time capsule with regards to tactics and recruitment. Hammers rolling over for Manchester City might have been part of Moyes' master plan, the problem is that no one knows waht that plan is! The players clearly don't, the massively expensive bench for the Citeh game must have looked at each other and thought what the hell are we doing? They wil also have been thinking what on earth is their 'manager' up to?

When West Ham signed Pablo Fornals, it was seen as a bit of a coup to grab the Spanish international destined for great things, he wasn't even in the Hammers squad that laid down and rolled over for Manchester City during the 2-0 defeat at the Etihad!

In addition to £24 Million midfielder Fornals, David 'I win games' Moyes also elected to omit £45 Million Sebastien Haller, fit gain £42 Million Felipe Anderson and £24 Million new arrival Jarrod Bowen. Bowen got the last few minutes when the game was already beyond rescuing, neither Haller nor Anderson even made the pitch.
