Hammer Felipe Anderson has carried on his personal training program while away on holiday as he bids to regain his fitness for next Wednesday in Manchester.
The Hammer posted a photo of himself topless on a beach together with other shots of him in a gym and training on grass with a football. The Brazilian midfielder is thought to be in Italy during his five day break but his social media post was hash tagged as ‘#NoDayOff’
The first team players are due to return to Rush Green after their mini break on Saturday with four days preparation for the re-scheduled game against Manchester City.
Anderson has been out for a month with a back injury but his return to training could mean he could feature at the Etihad. His return is seen a vital boost for West Ham in their battle to avoid relegation with David Moyes seeing him as a crucial factor.
Great to see Anderson fit again and really excited to see how the team fairs with Bowen and Soucek the new signings. Hope good times ahead. COME ON YOU IRONS
Anderson is a top player with a top work ethic. I just cant get fans who criticise him week in week out for not working hard ehough for the team. If you look at the ground he covers compared to players like Snodgrass and Noble, he is in a different league. A brilliant player, and a brilliant signing who I believe will play a big part in us remaining in the PL. Pelligrini destroyed his confidence taking him out leaving players like Snodgrass and Noble who simply cannot get up and down the pitch (even side to side). We have to play Haller, Antonio, Anderson and Bowen in our team if we want to win games. Haller will thrive with two creative players like Bowen and Anderson and a player up alongside him. Rice and Soucek in midfield, lets stop carrying players like Snodgrass. Noble has been a brilliant club man and still is and he would play a fantastic role coming on with 20 mins to go. Fredericks has to be dropped as we are playing with only 3 proper defenders. A lot offans see this but Moyes and now with the help of loyal Nolan he wont which is the biggest risk of us being relegated. We have the players but the big question have we the manager. I am not sure and hence the reason the board must act quickly if we fail to pick up points in the next 3 games.
Agree with you about anderson.He is our most creative player and has been sorely missed.
Most things you write about i disagree with but you are spot on here johnham.
Keep it up. đ
Not fair to lay the blame on Moyes after a short time and how many points would a âchosenâ manager pick up from next 3 games when 2 teams are Liverpool and Man City?
Sorry no win in the league since his first game and some terribly negative team selections leading to dropped points and missed opportunities. We have the players but if Moyes is not going to pick the right team he needs to be shafed as it will just continue and lead to relegation.
Nice post johnham agree with all that maybe not so much haller as I think bow should be played up top with Antonio and haller on the bench. Not I don’t rate him if played into the game properly but at present he looks lacking any confidence and disinterested too.
Letâs see if Haller is a changed player with Bowen.BUT . . . . . I donât think his laziness will change and I predict Bowen scoring all the goals and Haller getting none as usual.Haller needs to be dropped to the bench .Even Xande Silva will be scoring more goals than Haller .
Johnham, how can you criticise Snodgrass, when he is virtually our top scorer this season?
Felipe was not in Italy but was in fact in Mallorca. He flew back into Stansted on Wednesday night with Ryanair….;-)
Same is true of Lanzini – has posted on his Instagram stories a few times being in the gym and training with his brother (as he did last January when returning from his bad injury). doesnât get the coverage because so many critics of Lanzini out there unfortunately. We should be supporting a young lad returning from a bad injury, clearly cares (West Ham cake on his birthday today per Instagram) but has lost confidence given such a bad injury. COYI
