James Garner break out season?

Been forced to be a jack of all trades last few years, but stick him in a double pivot and hes got the positional nous and technical ability to control a game

Not been his biggest fan but growing on me big time. Very impressive

Honestly, I’ve had him as my man of the match in both the Brighton game and Mansfield game. He was quietly running the show and like you I’ve thought he was ok but this year for me he’s been awesome!

Brighton game he did a job

Mansfield game he did actually run the show

Such a well rounded player

Ffs Dave,his last season here we played some lovely stuff. Don't let your dislike for him dim your memory.

11 yars he was here and we played decent football a fraction of times. He was better than hoofball...but not by much.

The Treble is still ON

Steady now! Steady!

I really doubt these Grealish and Dibling were bought by Moyes. Ok'd by him, yes.

And he'd never have bought Ndiaye in a million years either.

Just try to be happy. Enjoy the ride

Watched those goals on repeat for 5 mins there. Glorious.

Quite funny thinking about West ham fans wanting rid of moyes cos he didn't play the West ham way? Wtf is that? I just remember them getting relegated all the time and playing crap football apart from a couple of seasons in the 80s. We've played some good stuff under moyes and often have. Obviously we have seen some cross but I don't really get it.

The West Ham way is the embodiment of the ridiculous football hipster idea that if you get a quirky manager with a ‘philosophy’ and buy a specific players for his ‘system’ then you can bypass the causal link between player quality and football success.

Moyes comes in and pragamatically takes them to the limits of their squad and instead of backing him with more investment to push on they just believe that if they find the unicorn manager then that will forgo the need to actually buy any top players.

Tried it with Pelligrini, again with Lopetegui, now again with Potter. All failed/will fail, yet the fans will still always look for this silver bullet.

We had a similar thing ourself at the end of Moyes’s first time but after seeing the evidence for ourselves of the limits of managerial philosophies when Martinez Silva Ancelotti Lampard couldn’t get past the reality barrier of player quality it feels a though the fan base is much more pragmatic now with most appreciating what Dyche did in the circumstances he had, and now appreciating what Moyes is doing.

Who knows if West Ham fans will ever get there.

Someone fluffed another Grealish assisted chance.

What's with the audio on the Everton highlights?

Garner for me, was everywhere.

Grealish is special, but Garner was fabulous today.

Technically strong, tactically intelligent and a great engine on him!
