‘He Is Finally Ready To Start’ ‘Gotta Go For It’ West Ham Fans Are Backing Forgotten Man To Start Against Chelsea

West Ham supporters are hoping for a shakeup in midfield when their side face Chelsea at the London Stadium this weekend.

Since the last international break, the Hammers have struggled in the final third of the pitch, and one Twitter fan account has called on Manuel Lanzini to be handed a start against the Blues:

Other fans were very much in agreement, with some even wanting to go further by starting Nikola Vlasic as well:

While a lot of supporters were unhappy with their side’s performance against Brighton last night, it must be said that they did create a fair few chances to put the game out of sight, so manager David Moyes may not be inclined to make too many changes.

In the case of Lanzini, the Argentine has struggled for form in recent seasons and he has rarely featured since Moyes’ return to the club. However, he is looking a lot more like his old self and his recent displays do merit him being recalled to the starting eleven.
