Haller is an excellent striker and will come good for them. My opinion, if you disagree, fair enough.

Fabianski, Lanzini, Yarmolenko and Diop have missed loads of Football last season and this.

No they haven’t. Yarmolenko and Diop have played 13 league games, Lanzini 11. Yarmolenko had been dropped for Snodgrass before he got injured because he’d been rubbish and Lanzini has done nothing all season. Haller was never injured in the first place so you’ve just made that up for some reason. Your desperation to make excuses for West Ham is very strange. Just admit you were wrong.

Typically dramatic for you mate. lol

They are a point behind us. They’ve been uncharacteristically poor, as have we, as have Arsenal and quite a few others this season. That form isn’t necessarily reflective of the quality of the players.

You believe it is. I believe it isn’t.

Is it a reflection of the quality of the manager then? If it isn't the players, then it must be.

They are a point behind us, exactly. We've played well in 2 games all season and have sacked the manager with the lowest win percentage in our recent history. And they have still managed to be a point behind us at this stage with all the quality players and top experienced manager they have, according to you.

Again, not necessarily. The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.

Pellegrini is a part, as are each of the players. You can’t make either wholly responsible for West Ham’s predicament when there are a number of factors at play.

That is also consistent with what I said on here for months about our predicament and Silva. Now Silva is gone, many blues think it will be hunky dory, but the issue isn’t as simplistic as just removing the manager.

Pellegrini is an excellent manager. You don’t achieve the things he has, withPL winners medal, achieve record-high point totals at Real Madrid without being an excellent manager.

Again, if you disagree, that’s your right.

Sorry, when was this? I could've sworn they got 100 points under Mourinho in the 2011/12 season and that was the record.

He was a Steven Gerrard slip away from being City's worst manager in the last decade. They should've run away with the league that season but they stumbled over the line thanks to their opponents completely bottling it with 3 games to go. They then went backwards at a rapid rate for the next two years and ended up scraping 4th on goal difference in the season Leicester won the title. Aside from that he won 2 League Cups, beating Gus Poyet's Sunderland of all teams in one final and Liverpool on pens in the other.

He's now about to be sacked by West Ham after spending almost as much as us in the last two years, and having everyone tip him to challenge for the top 6 (and even top 4 in some cases). I think he's one of the most overrated managers we've ever had in this league and reckon I could make a pretty good case for why.

Am I? They got over 100 points and didn’t win the league?o_O

Yes, he broke a Real Madrid points record, as stated and as disputed by you.

You were wrong.

I won’t hold it against you though, cos’ we’re both sound lads and bezzie mates.
