He’s spot on. The guy must be mentally and physically drained.
Either the club bring back Lavia or they promote Doyle. Phillips isn’t it. Just admit the mistake and move on. But we can’t keep running Rodri into the ground.
Correct. We need to sort a backup out. Rodri starts all the big games full stop. We need to rotate in the lesser games and it is clear as day that Pep does not trust Phillips
I’ve not seen enough of Kovacic to know if he can do that role, but he’s possibly an option.
Either way, Phillips needs gone asap

Surely that’s why Kovacic was bought. He’s likely versatile enough to be a 6 or 8, rather like Gundog

As a DM Gundo was up there with the worst I’ve seen. Proper Nigel Clough material. Excelled when moved further forward.
Hopefully Kova is better than him in that role.

It was a nonsense people saying Gundogan could play at 6. He was awful at it, far too nice.

To be fair to Cloughie junior he was a forward (or at least one of those homeless people between midfield and forward). Only City (at the time) could try and make out he could play in midfield

BBC online Toxteth Taproom continues to report Dippers bid for Caicedo without the bit about him only wanting the Chavs. Such blind devotion needs to be noted.

Jurrien Timber has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee and will undergo surgery in the coming days, Arsenal have confirmed.
Timber, 22, limped off the pitch in the 50th minute of the Gunners' 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Netherlands international signed from Ajax for £34m last month.
In a statement, Arsenal said Timber "will be out of action for a period of time" without specifying a duration.
Such sad news..

Just listening to Sky Sports namechecking us with Paqueta - "FA & Man City declined to comment"- no mention of West Ham. How about asking "When did they know about the FIFA/FA charges arising from games last season?" Then comment clips from rag psycho City hater Mark Ogden & cartel shill Ziegler again ignoring the obvious Sullivan implications..

I chatted with my Father in Law hammers fan he said glad he’s staying, however he could be banned for a longer than Toney. His handball last week could have been the suspicions confirmed is the hammers fans take….

Defies belief
What have we got to do with it? He isn’t our player, just someone we have been rumoured to be in interested in. He is a West Ham player, end of, and any negative reports should be about West Ham. Why are they not being asked whether they knew about the allegations and whether they were trying to sell on a player under those circumstances. Dodgy is being kind and downright cheating is nearer the mark if they knew about it

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood will leave the club by mutual agreement after a six-month internal investigation into his conduct.
Genuinely thought the rats would keep him. Hopefully he fucks off to some shit hole country

Some staff said they would quit if he stays, that along side Rachel Riley going rather loudly public saying she would stop supporting them.
