Outcast said: "Yes that's what I'd like to see but that's a lot of work to be close to Haller and also track back deep enough. Cresswell is so easily exposed by pace, so needs cover. If Noble was more mobile, maybe the midfield could have covered it. " We must have the slowest midfield in the EPL.
I mean yeah, that's my point. I think Rice covers ground quite well but he's limited. But a dynamic midfield partner would've covered some gaps. Obiang and Kouyate, did that for us for a while, even if they were limited. I'd like someone like Doucoure (or if we can unearth the next Kante).
It’s a pity Pelle and Husillos didn’t think of all this when they let go of the likes of Obiang and edmilson without replacement and spent a huge chunk of their budget on fornals ((whose position wasn’t the priority)
So the rumours seem a little inconclusive about Pelle, save for the fact that he’ll be in charge for Palace. So what exactly do the owners plan to do with regards to potential transfers in Jan - hand the power to Husillos once again? They haven’t got long to decide.
They may of course decide no changes are needed to the squad
It's quite possible that we will only get a point from our next three games. Pelle might decide then that the FA Cup isn't a priority so cue another tv embarrassment, this time at Gillingham. The coup de grace could come at Bramall Lane and we will be halfway through the transfer window with a new manager being sought and little time to make good use of it. As they say that is the West Ham way, we might of course have turned a corner and we will pick up several points and still be in the cup. I know which scenario the owners are :pray: for.
Of course I am but I just wanted to float the alternative scenario which we could see us in the bottom 3 in mid January with all the problems that would create. How much extra time has Saturday's win really given Pelle?
The last manager the Dave’s left hanging on in uncertainty was Grant. Look what happened there.
They need to either back him unreservedly or get rid now. Dithering is not the way forward. If they keep him it means fully backing his decisions on signings and keep him right till the end of the season even if there is a relegation threat.

Trading in MP for David Moyes is not the answer.
:ok:
