Everything is knee jerk mate.
You’ve got to look at the longer term project. Yes West Ham are playing well, yes they’re getting Europe.... but we both know it’s an anomaly, being made possibly by Jesse Lingard being in the form of his life.
Whilst we’ve ran out of gas, the current crop of players have so far not shown up for Koeman, Unsworth, Silva, Allardyce... at least Ancelotti knows what he has to do.
When we started the season the fodder like Gomes, Davies and Sigurdsson were kept well away from the side and we were free flowing.
We’ve seen with them, that they’re gutless and not up for the fight and we’ve not got an infinite pot of money due to FFP.
Regardless of Whether you wanted Lingard or not.... did hou really predict he’d be dragging West Ham into Champions League contention?
No but he has done. Can we suggest perhaps that coaching and motivation may have had something to do with it?
No because it would call into question the pro Ancelotti stance that many seem to be taking.
