They have been but didnt they start the season in July due to Europa ?

They have been below par but they will stay up and a few injuries have ruined them.

Ignore that they were in the Europa last season !

I assume Jota has been a big loss for them?

West Ham are up there on some sort of merit so credit to them.
Lingard looked hamstrung at the end there, Antonio has a problem too..for me, West Ham will probably end the season on about 64 or 65 pts.
West Ham are the least of our concerns to grab a CL spot.

That, and that they spent the entirety of the Jota money on a 18 year old who's scored 2 goals and who definitely, absolutely wasn't bought as some sort of under-the-counter payment to Jorge Mendes, I don't know why anyone could possibly think that.

Declan Rice is out for a few weeks too.

Good win

But agree ultimately our squad depth will cost us plus a bit of inexperience in these situations

Injuries & a lack of real quality to replace them will see us finish about 7th or 8th in the end I feel

Either way I’m delighted 4th with 8 games to go at the start of the season I’d have been happy with safe from relegation with 8 games to go

Sarge · « **Reply #690 on:** April 5, 2021, 10:25:53 pm »

Yup fair play Paul id rather you lot get 4th than other London Clubs to be honest.

I think if you get past those Leicester and Chelsea fixtures (2 of your next 3 games) and you’re still in 4th, you’ve got a great chance with your remaining fixtures, which are very winnable

The other thing being if you did manage to get fourth how would it affect your league form next season, that is always going to be the difficult challenge for a side like West Ham. Having said all that, good luck if you do, as you would have earned it anyway.

Can't see Nuno lasting much longer

They are in a bit of a rut at the moment, I mean there's still 8 games left I suspect they will probably finish a few places higher, the injury to Jimenez is a huge mitigating factor, what would be the reason to get rid?

I did expect them to fall away a bit by now, but credit to them - they keep finding a way. That Arsenal result took a lot out of them, that would have felt like a loss so I feared for them once Wolves got two back but they didn’t look as threatening as Arsenal.

Not sure I’d completely write them off. They can afford to take it one game at a time and prepare the same group of players each week. Injuries may see them struggle if Rice and Antonio are out long term and Lingard picked up something there. But credit to them and Moyes, they look like they are enjoying the pressure rather than crumbling. Been without their best defender for a long while now too, in Ogbonna.

If players like Benrahma and Bowen can come to the party more and have strong ends to the season, they will be interesting to watch.

Neither Carragher or Neville have Sancho in their squads. Dickheads.

Crazy that it was just one Wolves goal away from all the results going our way.

My karma based theory is and has been, we are winning out and every single week the 4th spot holder will lose, until that's us of course and then it will be the 5th placer. That's why with 10 games left everyone was despondent and im thinking '4th by about 7 or 9 clear by the end this is gonna be a cakewalk".

so far so good.

Westham-Leicester and Spurs-Utd next. We have to take advantage, plus we have unfinished business with Villa.

Aye mate it was a good win for you, we shouldn't really be surprised if West Ham go on & take that CL spot after the crazy year we have all had. Moyes (a little bias here) has a ceiling & for me you should be reaching higher, as a club youz are way better than Moyes but consolidating & building especially after having your struggles over the years must be a relief.
Without meaning to be disrespectful to you guys I think West Ham have capitalised on the shortcomings of others, quite a few teams have imploded including ourselves where you would have normally expected more from, last nights game was a perfect example of that.
