West Ham Fans

Some of you may remember a fair few weeks back I posted on here that I was quite vehemently against Matthew Upson and James Collins being paired up in the middle of defence. Well here I am admitting that I was talking out of my arse. I have been massively impressed with the partnership they have formed. For the record I never questioned Collins ability I was only questioning the partnership. One thing I would say is that since the England/Germany game Matthew Upson has improved ten-fold and without that improvement I still believe that pairing could’ve proved a bit shaky but so far they seem to be working really well together. What is frustrating me at the minute is what is going on with Matty Ethrington? When Zola first came in matty was being touted around as his new golden boy and now he’s getting on the bench every game but luis boa morte is getting put on before him. If Zola’s dropping of him was down to his gambling lapse surely his message must have got through by now? We seriously lack width at the minute, Faubert is just not up to the job full stop, I was willing to give him time to prove himself when he got injury free but I think he is awful, no wonder our only competition in signing him was Rangers. Behrami is a class act but he’s not an out and out winger and often will drift inside, all our attacking play seems to be filtered through the right but when it breaks down we’re relying on Neill. Get Ethrington back in the team, that’ll stop Bellamy tracking back like he has been and keep him in the area where he’s going to do the most damage. I think Zola is just a couple of changes away from producing a decent footballing team who are capable of going out there and not only competing but winning against most other premiership teams. That’s all we’re after isn’t it?
