‘Poor’, ‘Happens way too often’ – Some West Ham fans are unhappy with 30-yr-old’s display vs Arsenal
West Ham United were held to a 3-3 draw against Arsenal at the weekend and the Hammers will be disappointed to have come away with just a point after having led 3-0 after the first half-hour. The Hammers were suspect defensively and they were rightly punished for their complacencies in the second half. Despite their defensive frailties on show, the West Ham fans were quite disappointed with the performance of striker Michail Antonio. The 30-year-old missed a glorious opportunity to score for the Hammers and his movement was quite poor throughout the game. West Ham could have created more chances with a natural centre forward in the side and it will be interesting to see if David Moyes decides to upgrade on Antonio at the end of this season. The Hammers decided to cash in on Sebastien Halle...
Arsenal’s three-goal comeback stuns West Ham – full match report
Arsenal fought back from three goals down to draw with West Ham in Sunday’s London derby, denting the Hammers’ Champions League ambitions. Jesse Lingard and Jarrod Bowen put the Hammers firmly in control, before a quickfire double from Tomas Soucek at either end gave the Gunners hope- a second-half own goal from Craig Dawson and a Alexandre Lacazette header, completed the comeback at the London Stadium. Coming into the contest West Ham were looking to bounce back after last weeks narrow defeat to Manchester United, whilst Arsenal were looking to build on Thursday’s progression to the Europa League quarter-finals. David Moyes made two changes to last weeks side, with Jesse Lingard replacing club captain Mark Noble, and Said Benrahma coming in for Ben Johnson. West Ham: Fabianski, Coufa...
Moyes says Arteta sacking would have been “ludicrous”
David Moyes and Mikel Arteta are no strangers – the former coached the Spaniard for six years at Everton. Arteta made 200 appearances and eventually helped the club to qualify for the Champions League before leaving to play for Arsenal. Both had only good words to say about each other before Sunday’s crucial London derby clash, which may define their respective seasons. Here’s what the West Ham United and Arsenal managers had to say about each other before the weekend’s crucial game at the London Stadium. What did Moyes say? “If they had even considered making a change at Arsenal, it would have been ludicrous,” said Moyes (via the Standard). “I think it would have been an incredibly stupid thing to do on someone who has already come in and won a couple of trophies. Mikel Arteta has al...
Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for West Ham United vs Arsenal
BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for the Premier League clash between West Ham United and Arsenal this weekend. The Hammers recently suffered a 1-0 league defeat at Manchester United, but they are still within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand. David Moyes’ side are scheduled to host the Gunners on Sunday, and Lawrenson feels the club will be determined to avoid a second-straight defeat. The Gunners are currently seven points behind the Hammers in the 10th spot, but they are unbeaten in the last three games in the top-flight (two wins and one draw). Lawrenson has predicted a share of the spoils (1-1) in the London derby. He told BBC Sport: “This feels like a big game for West Ham, as a test of their top-four aspirations, and I think the u...
Predicted West Ham XI vs Arsenal: Moyes to make two changes to his side, 28-yr-old to return
West Ham United host Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend and they will be hoping to extend their fine run of form with a victory. The Hammers are unbeaten in four of the last six league matches and they will be confident of picking up all three points against an inconsistent Arsenal side. West Ham are currently fifth in the Premier League and a victory would keep them in the running for a top-four spot. The last time these two sides met Arsenal picked up a 2-1 win and the Hammers will be aiming to avenge that defeat here. David Moyes’ side are full of confidence at the moment and Arsenal will have to be at their best to grind out a win this week. The home side will be without the services of Angelo Ogbonna, Darren Randolph and Ryan Fredericks due to injuries. Arthur Masuaku and...

The 30-year-old midfielder has failed to make the desired impact since his move to Italian football and he could be on his way back to the Premier League at the end of this season.

Gareth Southgate names 26-man squad for World Cup qualifiers
The latest England squad has been released ahead of the upcoming international break. The Three Lions are set to begin their qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in the closing days of March. They begin by welcoming San Marino to Wembley before a trip to Albania. Finally, they’ll face Poland at home. Several players miss out on the squad through injury. Leicester City duo James Maddison and Harvey Barnes have been sidelined in recent weeks, while wingers Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish are also unavailable. Regular number one Jordan Pickford misses out after being substituted early against Burnley, while Jordan Henderson and Joe Gomez remain long-term absentees.

‘Really rate him’ – Some West Ham fans believe 24-yr-old would be a quality signing for them
West Ham United have been linked with a move for the Blackburn Rovers attacker Adam Armstrong in recent weeks, and some of their fans believe that the 24-year-old would be a superb signing. Armstrong operates mainly as a central striker and could be the ideal long-term replacement for Sebastien Haller, who was sold in January. David Moyes did well to bring Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United, and the England international has done an outstanding job to date. However, the Hammers must look to sign a quality forward in the summer, and Armstrong could prove to be a wise investment. He has already proven himself in the Championship, scoring 20 goals and three assists in all competitions. West Ham signed Jarrod Bowen from Hull City after making a similar impact in the Championship, and...
15 goals & 12 assists this season: Pundit reckons West Ham ‘will be keeping an eye’ on 24-yr-old
Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been linked with a move away from the Scottish club in recent months and many pundits have tipped him to leave at the end of this season. The 24-year-old is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership and he has already helped Rangers win the league title. He has 15 goals and 12 assists to his name this term. He will be hoping to make his mark at a higher level and it seems that the player dreams of playing in the Premier League. According to popular pundit Paul Robinson, West Ham United will be keeping an eye on Morelos this summer. “It is not a secret – Premier League clubs have been looking at him and I think West Ham will be keeping an eye on him,” he told Football Insider. “It is a move that Morelos will have to weigh up. If Ranger...
Manchester United edge West Ham 1-0 at Old Trafford
Manchester United beat West Ham United 1-0 at Old Trafford courtesy of a second-half Craig Dawson own goal to reclaim the second spot in the Premier League table. Dawson inadvertently glanced the ball into his own net from a United corner in the 62nd minute, and the Hammers were unable to find a way back into the game. Coming into the match, United had slipped to third in the league table following an impressive 5-0 victory for Leicester at home to managerless Sheffield United earlier on in the day. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made four changes to his starting line-up from Thursday night’s Europa League draw against AC Milan. The Norwegian opted to bring in Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelöf and Fred along with Marcus Rashford, who sat out Thursday’s game through a minor injury. Anthony Mar...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no sympathy with David Moyes for Manchester United failure
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not sympathise with former Manchester United manager David Moyes for his short tenure at Old Trafford. Moyes was sacked just 10-months after replacing Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary Scot who identified him as the club’s next manager. The 57-year-old is now leading West Ham in an impressive charge for the European places, after spells at Real Sociedad and Sunderland. Moyes’s West Ham side travel to Old Trafford on Sunday evening, and would go within three points of Solskjaer’s Reds with victory. Solskjaer praised Moyes for his turnaround in East London but refused to have sympathy for the manner in which he lost a ‘dream job’. “I don’t think you can feel sorry for someone who has managed Manchester United,” he said in his pre-match press conference, as quoted by ...
Amad and Shaw start, Predicted Manchester United line-up (4-2-3-1) vs West Ham United
Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host West Ham United in the Premier League this evening. The Red Devils produced a disappointing showing in midweek as they drew 1-1 against AC Milan in the first leg of the Europa League last 16. Both Harry Maguire and Daniel James missed golden chances to find the back of the net and that could come to haunt them in the return leg at San Siro. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side must score against the Rossoneri on the road to have any chance of reaching the last eight of the competition. Prior to that, their focus will be on the league meeting against the Hammers, whom they have beaten twice in the season already (league and FA Cup). The club are dealing with several injury concerns and it could be a tricky game against the Ham...
