I have just finished watching the Everton West Ham game. Whilst the game in general was poor, with both teams looking like relegation contenders, West Ham were exposed as probably the poorest premiership team this season. It is time the new owner had a clearout. The vastly overrated Ferdinand looks completely lost without the real strenth in defence of Gabbidon. Players like Etherington Bowyer and today even Reo Coker ran about like headless chickens. Etherington and Ferdinand were recently mentioned as possible England contenders. In your dreams. They are lucky to be playing in the Premiership. There is just no passion in the team with the exception of foreigners like the workaholic Tevez and the impressive Spector. Pardew stood on the sidelines shaking his head, but really looked clueless. West Ham had first half possession of 60 percent with a 12 corners and only one decent chance. The Hammers fans are among the most loyal in the league, this includes me but enough is enough. Forget about spending 15 million on Wright Phillips and clear out the overrated and underperforming players or face the drop. Pure and simple.
Looks like a good old fashioned relegation scrap for you and teh new buiscuit baron. I think you'll have enough in the tank to avoid relegation providing your players do what this post says and stop thinking you are contenders for a European super club ! 15th place is on the cards providing Aston is back and soon. Tevez looks useful, he'll be snapped up by a big club come January and Pardew knows it.
