Alf Ramsey's World Cup winning team were labelled as 'Wingless Wonders' by the press at the time as the England team did not have traditional wingers playing, of course Ramsey had introduced the usage of wing backs, something ALL elite teams utilise now.
So in a way 'Alf' was way ahead of the game at the time, West Ham manager David Moyes has 'made his bones' moulding wingers into out and out strikers with SOME degree of success, however his 'obsession' in doing so has blinded him from the need blatant and obvious need the club has for at least one, preferably two out and out strikers!
Moyes has 'bounced' two really decent strikers from the club who have gone on to great things and he has NOT replaced them! Anyone calling Danny Ings a suitable replacement for either Sebastien Haller or Gianluca Scamacca needs a quick visit to specsavers followed by a lengthy consultation with a psychotherapist!
A Team that possesses the quality that Hammers currently have shouldn't be scraping narrow victories, it should be DOMINATING lesser clubs and giving the 'big boys' a bloody nose, but the players can't because they are shackled by Moyesball.
We know Moyes is an easy 'hit' but he makes himself such a target by some astonishingly trait comments and ludicrous team formations and selections, it is little wonder that many fans cannot WAIT until the 60 year old Scot departs.
Too much water has flowed under the bridge for armchair fans across the globe, but for those who attend the as yet unnamed London Stadium on a regular basis even more so, for any changes made to work, enough seems to be enough.
Anyone who attended the Palace game will testify as to how bad the atmosphere was, but fans are not automatons who can cheer and clap on a whim, they need something to get them going! Without Lucas Paqueta and his often over indulgent play and play acting many fans wouldn't even bother to turn up!
Unless 'Pacman' has been given assurances that Moyes is going to be off at the season's end there is absolutely NO WAY he will stay at the club and neither will a few others either. Put simply the club will stagnate and continue to do so until Moyes and his stubbornness is a thing of the past, until then fans are just going to have to suck up a brand of football that makes that of Sam Allardyce look positively exciting! -LN

Can tell you Ange's team talk
Can tell you Ange's team talk now. Like every other week lads Moyes will set them up in 4231. No natural striker. Their best players will be out of position.
Just attack. Will not be long before Emerson & Alverez are booked. Put pressure on Aguerd in the box. He'll give a penalty away. Just defend the halfway line. They wont see it.
Well, don't shoot me
