It’s matchday, and while excited to face a top Newcastle outfit, I am also apprehensive because one of my key players, Edson Alvarez, is suspended. Alvarez is out, and he is causing us to lose our midfield rhythm, as shown by his consistently high rating on Hammers Chat Patreon . The combination of Soucek, Ward-Prowse, and Phillips failed to impress. While we failed to win the game since Phillips, our new signing, arrived, Moyes has three crucial games on his hands, with one being a Europa quarterfinal. We must win all three games because Alvarez is out. Three defeats without him will be unavoidable. Moyes must then rise the troops and execute this difficult time.
