I too went on a West Ham forum (KUMB) and all the issues they’re listing are all issues we’ve had too, when he was here.
- Loyalty to out of form playwrs
- Stubbornness to tactics
- One dimensional (kick, go wide, cross, try again)
- Unable to integrate certain players
So I’ve no doubt he’ll get them back on track, as he did with us. However, he’ll always have that ceiling, which he can’t break beyond.
They’re all moaning about Paqueta and Scamacca, and we saw it loads. He could get a cracking bargain like they did with Dawson, but struggled with the bigger names.
Done a good job there for them, so it’s staggering to see their fans be so fickle. 2 solid seasons and they’re acting as if they’ve got a divine right to challenging the Top 4.
