West Ham’s recent drubbing by Crystal Palace was a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s merely the latest symptom of a larger problem. The Hammers, under David Moyes, have stagnated. While Moyes deserves credit for his past achievements, it feels like he’s taken the team as far as he can.
The fans are restless, and Moyes himself seems to be acknowledging the need for a change. His post-match comments hinting at acceptance of a potential dismissal spoke volumes.
Enter Maurizio Sarri. The Italian manager’s attacking philosophy is a breath of fresh air compared to Moyes’ more pragmatic approach. West Ham fans have been yearning for a more exciting brand of football, and Sarri could be the answer.
The rumours of Sarri targeting young midfielder Samuele Ricci only add fuel to the fire. Ricci’s technical brilliance and composure are exactly what the Hammers need in their midfield.
Now, is this all just wishful thinking? Perhaps. But one thing is clear: West Ham needs a shake-up. Sticking with Moyes feels like clinging to the past. Sarri, with his attacking philosophy and Ricci as a potential signing, represents a chance to build a team that not only wins, but wins in style.
It’s time for West Ham to take a leap of faith. Let’s see the Hammers play with fire in their bellies again, and maybe, just maybe, challenge for a place at the top table.
Fonseca much younger would be a much better fit .
