West Ham fans on Sebastien Haller: We told you so

In his column for The Times, Tony Cascarino has spoken out on Sebastien Haller, stating that he couldn’t work out why it took West Ham so long to pair someone with the misfiring attacker, as we did to great effect with Michail Antonio last weekend.

Sound familiar? Well, it’s only the same drum that we’ve been banging since the very start of the season.

Manuel Pellegrini never really listened and it has taken David Moyes a good while to get it, but he has now and look at what happened in the Southampton game.

Rightly so, fellow fans were quick to say “I told you” so after the ex-pro’s comments, with one even claiming that their 15-year-old son had worked it out from the very start.

Haller’s partnership with Luka Jovic worked so well at Eintracht Frankfurt last season and hopefully now his partnership with Antonio, let’s not forget Bowen as well, can keep us in the Premier League…

West Ham have become a circus again, Sam May have played one dimensional football but he had to work with Gold and Sullivan, he did a decent job for them and they still threw him under the bus my 15 year old son knew from day 1 how we needed to set up to get the best from him

I asked this weeks ago, our scout must be reprimanded for not passing on the information that Haller played in a two, or sack him leaving us without a scouting system at all ⚒⚒⚒

Same last season with chica, never been a lone striker and we played him as that.

The question is Tony why has it taken you and the rest of the sports media to clock what the West Ham fans have been saying all this time as being spot on?
