Cautious David Moyes decided against allowing Chicharito to train at Rush Green today despite expectations that the Mexican striker would be back in action with the squad.
Speaking at the pre-match presser Moyes said: “We have a couple of knocks and niggles but nothing to be overly worried about.
Chicharito has not trained today, so he’s going to be a few days or a bit longer, but we want him back fit because we have so many games coming up.It’s the same for James Collins and even Michail Antonio, in that we have to be really careful because our squad isn’t the biggest. It’s important to get these boys fit and ready to play.”
Turning to Wednesday night’s match he added: “It’s really important we get three points at Everton, so there is no room for sentiment. I want a clean sheet and a win when I go back to Goodison.
“I’ll always look out for Everton and hope they do well, but my focus now is on West Ham only.”
He explained his approach to the training ground and how he is handiling the squad saying: We are giving them very basic messages that are easy to pick up on and I thought the players responded well on Friday night, but we’ve got to keep at it. All the basics are a given, but we also want to improve the football, too.”
I would hope so. We need 3pts and some goals in this game. 4-0 please… Love to see Sahko start
And Adrian back please.
Antonio will be fit what about Collins
He said it our squad isn’t the biggest so we need more than £20m bc need 3 really 4 players to fill our sqaud not counting if we sell AC and or Sahko. Could sell Ogbonna as well w links out.
I would think £40m should be lowest Amount. Don’t need WC for £30m but need few £5-15m players. CM needed pace creativity.
Think 2 players at very least needed. Unfortunately Jan is hard mkt but we thinned our squad to much & can’t even get Snodgrass back
All sounds good, will be a shame if Antonio isn’t on the bench COYI !!!
Good luck to our dedicated away fans. I hope that you are rewarded by witnessing a win.
+1 to that Stratford 😀
