Here’s the man to replace Captain Zouma

I want to see Oggy back for the Hammers over the next few games given the form we are seeing from the central defenders!  Oggy is the man to replace Captain Zouma,

Here’s the man to replace Captain Zouma

With a defence which has seen 14 goals hit our net in the last seven games it really is time for change and frankly Zouma has been in perhaps the poorest form since he joined us.

Why on earth was a man with such dodgy knees who can only train twice a week has become captain of our team is one of  those mysteries which can only be conjured up by a certain Scotsman.

Aguerd hasn’t looked good since he returned from Afcon whilst Oggy was in decent form during many of his appearances earlier in the season.

Okay, he was involved in the Fulham and Liverpool five goal defeats but he was near man of the match when we beat Arsenal 2-0 at their place.

If Phillips can get on as a sub I would have thought Oggy should be given more than half a chance but it seems once again the manager is a victim of his stereotyped thinking.

Mind you I understand that Moyes somehow attempt  justify loaning the Manchester City defensive midfielder in the first place

But it seems that once the 12 or 13 names he has in his mind to start that’s the end of his  mental processing.

Big sigh!
