Carragher puts finger on all the Irons problems

I like Jamie Carragher, have no problem getting past his Scouse accent and believe he speaks as much sense as any in the game and more than most.

And for me at least he confirms most of that today when calling for Slaven to remain in his job and addressing the various issues facing us at the moment.

Here’s some key points from the piece at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3816295/It-s-bad-West-Ham-better-don-t-sack-Slaven-Bilic.html which should be read by every Iron.

Carragher declares: “The first choice XI is not better than it was last year and you can understand why there is restlessness among fans, given they were promised marquee signings to go hand-in-hand with the stadium move.

What West Ham needed to consolidate was a really good striker. They tried plenty of options but it looked to me like they panicked when spending £20million on Andre Ayew from Swansea — I couldn’t believe that fee — and taking Simone Zaza on a season-long loan.

Aside from that, they added squad players in Havard Nordtveit, Sofiane Feghouli and Jonathan Calleri, who they don’t need now they are out of Europe.

Meanwhile, Arthur Masuaku, the left back brought in to replace the injured Aaron Cresswell, has had an awful start. I’m never quite sure who is making the decisions in terms of transfers at West Ham. Is it Bilic? Is it the owners?”

He’s put his finger on every issue that I and others have mentioned throughout this awful season in a seriously good analysis of the problems.
