Hart and Adrian backed to shine by goalkeeper coach Chris Woods
WHUFC.com

West Ham United's two senior goalkeepers will each take centre-stage this
week – and both have been tipped to produce the goods. Joe Hart will keep
goal in the vital Premier League fixture at Everton on Wednesday night
before Adrian takes over between the sticks at Manchester City on Sunday,
when the on-loan Hart will be ineligible to face his parent club. Having
seen the work the pair put in on the training pitch every single day,
goalkeeper coach Chris Woods has great confidence that both the 'vital' Hart
and 'ultimate professional' Adrian will rise to the challenge. "Joe has an
aura about him and he portrays that in his talking on and off the pitch and
he is a vital member of the team," said Woods, who was himself capped 43
times by England. "We need to start improving our results and start doing
that with clean sheets and, to do that, we have to defend as a team, working
from the front and ending with Joe in goal. "Adrian would obviously like to
have played more games, but he's been the ultimate professional. He's worked
as hard as he ever did when he was starting in the team and, if anything
happens to Joe, he's got to be ready to go in. "If you don't train and let
yourself go a little bit, then you're called into the first team, it can
have a backward effect on you, but Adrian has worked hard every single day
to put pressure on and stake a claim for a place. While we have competition
like that, it's got to be good for Joe and Adrian. "We will also take Nathan
Trott to Manchester City as our No2 goalkeeper and it's a big day for him.
He's been in and around the first team and trained and travelled with us on
a number of occasions, but Sunday will be one step closer for him."

A true gentleman off the pitch, Woods was one of the best goalkeepers in the
game throughout the 1980s, helping Nottingham Forest win the European Cup
and unfancied Norwich City lift the League Cup before heading north of the
border during the European ban on English clubs to help Rangers win four
Scottish Premier League titles in five seasons between 1986-91. After
hanging up his boots in 1998, Woods was appointed as goalkeeper coach at
Wednesday's opponents Everton by his former Rangers manager Walter Smith. He
spent the next 15 years developing the likes of Richard Wright, John Ruddy
and Tim Howard, before following long-time boss David Moyes to Manchester
United and helped David De Gea win Player of the Year honours. In summer
2015, he joined West Ham, and has since worked with Adrian, Hart, Darren
Randolph and England U20 international Trott. "Every goalkeeper I've worked
with, I've enjoyed working with. There have been no difficult personalities,
so they've made my job and life easier because goalkeepers generally all
enjoy their work. "The game has obviously become so big now and every act is
analysed, so it's important that I get over my views and I listen to their
views as well. It's important to have a good working relationship and that's
what we've got."

Woods thoroughly enjoyed his time at Goodison Park, where he spent eleven
seasons working under Moyes before being reunited with his old boss in east
London earlier this month. "We had eleven fantastic years there, and
obviously the standout moments were getting to the FA Cup final and
qualifying for the Champions League. We built a team and added to it when we
needed to. "I was very fortunate to remain with Everton for such a long
period of time and the club became part of my life and my family's lives, I
got to know the people who worked at the club and built great relationships
with everybody. It was a good time to be there."

Three weeks into Woods has already seen the same approach from Moyes
starting to take effect at West Ham. "David led from the front with hard
work, setting standards that everyone needed to meet. I've definitely seen
the same effect here. It doesn't come overnight, it's a building process
which people buy into, work hard and we all hope it will eventually work
out. "After the game on Friday, we are beginning to understand what the
manager is putting out there. "Goodison has always been a very hard place to
go, though, particularly under the lights, and just because they've not
started the season as they'd hoped, I'm sure it will be a very tough game
and unless we play to our potential and concentrate, it will be difficult."

West Ham has the building blocks for long-term success - Moyes
WHUFC.com

David Moyes has revealed that he would love to build success at West Ham
United in the same way he did during eleven years at Wednesday's opponents
Everton.
Moyes oversaw the Blues' improvement from mid-table also-rans to annual
challengers for a European place, while also developing the Academy into a
regular producer of future first-team stars. He may have been Hammers boss
for just three weeks but, as he prepares to take his new team to face his
old side at Goodison Park, the new manager has already seen the potential of
the Club to emulate Everton's success…

The building blocks are in place

I hope and would love to say that we have similar building blocks here to
those we had at Everton. If I can get good stability and strength, then it
could easily be eleven years, as West Ham has unbelievable potential to be
up there. They've got the infrastructure now. When I took over at Everton,
we trained at Bellefield, which had been Everton's training ground for more
than 50 years, before we moved to Finch Farm in 2007. Bellefield reminds me
quite a lot of Rush Green, which is slightly bigger. Within a couple of
weeks of arriving, we were talking about building a new training ground and
we brought the Academy in to join the first team at Finch Farm. One of the
biggest strengths at Everton was the Academy and bringing their young boys
through. It was always better if it was in one building.
And Everton have had a lot of good young players coming through, not
necessarily because of that but, overall, I got the time to do that and make
changes and to be fair in our period we had a Champions League finish and
Europa League finishes, so over the period we built it up.

Long-term goals

I'd love to think football clubs would always go long-term and think and
aspire to emulate what we built at Everton. I hope it'll turn full circle.
At the moment, managers are now down to probably 16 months in the job, maybe
even less in some cases. What it means is there's always a change of staff
and a change of players. It doesn't get to be settled and bedded down.
Sometimes you need the Directors to say: 'OK we have to go with it, we have
to put things in place for the long-term'. There are other things you need
to develop: you want your Academy to develop, you want all the things around
your club, your infrastructure, all to be good. My job is to come here and
win games and make sure we stay up. I'm here at the moment on a short-term
contract. The future for managers looks more likely to be short-term
contracts than managers tending to get ten or eleven years in any one job.

Making good players better

I was asked if there are things we did at Everton that I am considering
introducing here at West Ham, but I think sometimes you don't always see
them immediately as it takes a bit of time. It takes a bit of time to get
things going. Once you get it going, if you can get a wee bit of momentum. I
was also asked about the January transfer window and the important thing is
we try to sign good players for the future but who could do a job
immediately if possibly, with the right attitudes, and the right types. If I
was looking back at the early days at Everton where we did that was trying
to bring in the right players not just for the short-term but for the
long-term as well. For now, I genuinely am focused on trying to make this
group of players better. Because when I went into the job at Everton, there
wasn't bundles of cash, it was the same: how are you going to make them
better? What is the best way to make them win? How can you get the results?
I'm in the same situation at West Ham. But the difference from then to now
is that the money in the Premier League is just colossal. We will have to
look to see what we can do in terms of bringing in new players. If we're in
the same position, I have no doubts that the owners would support the right
deals.

Hart: I'll give everything to put us back on the right track
WHUFC.com

Joe Hart is relishing the challenge of helping West Ham United to climb the
Premier League table. The Hammers goalkeeper has experienced it all during
his illustrious career, from appearing at major tournaments with England and
winning the Premier League with Manchester City to battling relegation out
of the Football League and playing non-league football with Shrewsbury Town.
Now, Hart and his new club are facing a battle to rise out of the relegation
zone, but the 30-year-old is not fazed by what lies ahead – starting with
Wednesday's trip to Everton. "I've been through everything in my career.
I've played non-league, I've played for Shrewsbury Town and came into the
team with eight games to go when we were one point above the relegation zone
to go out of the Football League when I was 17 or 18-years-old," he
confirmed. "I've played right at the top and won leagues and won cups, so
I've had a great experience and, at the end of the day, it's football and
I'll to keep the ball out of the net, whether I'm fighting for a title or
fighting to stay in the league. That's what I do and what I love."

When asked to assess the midweek visit to Goodison Park, Hart said his total
focus is on helping the Hammers achieve their first win in seven top-flight
matches.
"I don't know how I feel about them, because they have an awful lot of
talent like we have, but we're in a situation where it's a really big game
and it's really important for both clubs. "I don't really care about how
they feel and I'm sure they don't care about how I feel. I only care about
how organised we are, how much of a performance we're going to put in and
how had we're going to try to win three points and put us on the right
line."

And Hart believes new manager David Moyes, who returns to the club he
managed successfully for eleven years, is doing everything he can to do just
that. "The manager's primary focus has been to get us back into a good
place. That's no disrespect to Slaven [Bilic], because I really enjoyed the
short time I worked with him and he is a good man, but I just felt there was
an uncomfortable situation for everyone. "So, the decision got made and
David has come in and it's quite a simple job in his eyes, and in our eyes,
which is getting us playing as a team in a strong formation and making us
accountable for mistakes and not being in position, and that's how we're
playing at the moment. "In my opinion, it's good and strong and organised
and I like the fact that people are held accountable. Every training session
needs to be trained to the maximum and that's going to help us as a team.
"It depends what you call 'tough'. I call it 'getting what's expected from
the players'. It might be perceived as being 'tough' but, in my opinion,
asking people to train at 100 per cent and give more than they're capable of
on a matchday is not being tough, but asking people to do their job."

While Wednesday's result is far from certain, Hart says West Ham's players
will give everything to reward the fans who roared them on during Friday's
1-1 draw with Leicester City at London Stadium. "A decision was made by the
fans. It was time to either really trash us or really urge us on and to
support us, no matter what, and they gave us an impression of what they
wanted. It wasn't Rabonas and taking people on or doing something magical
that got the crowd going, it was hard work and dedication, and we reacted
well to it. "Even though we are professionals and play football every day,
we play better when we've got support. We do things off the field better
when we've got the support of our families and that's what we've got to
create – a family. "We've got to create one team with the fans and that's
only going to come about down to hard work and dedication for the whole 95
or 96 minutes. It's priceless what that did for us and we can only repay
that by only letting that our minimum from now on."

Hutchison: Moyes will be super-motivated to secure win on Everton return
WHUFC.com

Former West Ham United and Everton star Don Hutchison says David Moyes will
be desperate to get one over his former club on Wednesday evening. Moyes
makes his third return to Goodison Park since ending his eleven-year spell
in charge of the Toffees in May 2013, but has ended on the losing side on
his two visits since then. However, Hutchison says his fellow Scot will not
let those defeats, in 2013/14 with Manchester United and last season with
Sunderland, affect him, but will instead make him more desperate to show an
Everton struggling for results and without a permanent manager what they are
missing.

In the process, West Ham would also end their own poor run at Goodison,
where they have won just once in their last ten Premier League visits. "I
think over the course of the last five or ten years, I always thought it was
always a tricky place for West Ham to go to," said Hutchison, who failed to
win on three trips to the blue half of Liverpool as a Hammer. "I remember
playing there for West Ham and lost a few times but there is added spice to
this match with David Moyes going back to Goodison Park. "As an ex-player,
and I'm sure managers are the same, you always want to go back to your old
stomping ground and try and get the three points. In the current situation
West Ham are in, he certainly needs it."

Hutchison, who scored 18 goals in 110 appearances in Claret and Blue across
two spells between 1994 and 2004, was impressed by the way the Hammers' fans
roared their team on against Leicester City on Friday evening. The support
West Ham received as they came from a goal down to grab a deserved draw
reminded the 46-year-old of the 1994/95 season, when a late-season surge saw
Harry Redknapp's surge escape the relegation zone to finish 14th. Hutchison
led the charge, netting nine goals in 23 Premier League appearances,
including vital strikes in wins over Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and
Liverpool, to help his side stave off the drop. And the Gateshead-born
player-turned-pundit says the present-day Hammers need a few heroes to
emerge if they are to repeat history 23 years on. "I've been involved in
relegation scraps before at West Ham, during the 1994/95 season, and the
fans have always stuck by us, we appreciated this so much and I'm sure they
will do the same. "I'm pretty convinced that West Ham can get out of this
but they're going to need to start doing it quickly."

Hammers U21s to take on Luton Town in Checkatrade Trophy last-32
WHUFC.com

West Ham United U21s have been drawn to play League Two side Luton Town in
the last 32 of the Checkatrade Trophy. Defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on
Tuesday evening saw the Hammers finish second in Group C of the tournament,
putting Terry Westley's through to the knock-out stages of the Checkatrade
Trophy. The young Irons will now take on Luton Town at Kenilworth Road with
the fixture scheduled for Tuesday 5 December, with kick-off at 7:45pm.

Tickets for next Tuesday's fixture are just £5 for adults and other
concessions while U16s can attend the contest for just £1!
Full ticketing information will be announced in due course.

West Ham United have already bettered last year's effort in the Checkatrade
Trophy, having failed to qualify from the group stages last season. A trip
to Luton means a contest with a host of ex-West Ham talent, including Dan
Potts, Ellie and Olly Lee, Marek Stech and Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu. The match
will also hold special significance for Academy Director Westley, who was
manager of Luton Town in 1995.

Westley: To go through is a great achievement
WHUFC.com

Terry Westley remained extremely proud of his side's achievements as,
despite defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday evening, the Hammers U21s
progressed to the knockout rounds of the Checkatrade Trophy. West Ham fell
to a 2-0 defeat against Gareth Ainsworth's League Two outfit and will play
Luton Town in the last-32 after finishing second in their group. Victories
over Swindon Town and Bristol Rovers meant that the Hammers could have
sealed top spot in Group C (South) with a draw or win but instead will
settle for second because of an inferior goal difference to Swindon. Despite
the defeat, Westley was proud of what had been achieved by his team: "We
have to be positive to start with – we have gone through" he insisted.
"Setting the stall out at the start of the season you ask 'can you go a step
further than last year and qualify through the groups?', so it's a really
good achievement, we must not forget that. "To be one of three [U21] teams
to go through to the last-32 is a big achievement for the players at the
club. Goals either side of the break proved the difference at Adams Park,
with Will De Havilland and Sido Jombati the scorers as Wycombe's added
physicality showed its worth. "Of course there is the disappointment at
having not topped the group, we were a goal away from doing that" Westley
explained. "I was disappointed with the manner of the two goals, it was
tough to get the ball down and play because the game was so physical but
they are the demands that the young players have to cope with if you are
going to go on loan at this level."

Marcus Browne back in action against WycombeOf big significance on the night
was the return to action of midfielder Marcus Browne. Browne had missed five
months of action through injury but played the final 20 minutes on Tuesday,
instantly showing glimpses of the quality that he possesses. For Westley,
Browne's return is more than just a boost to his squad: "I'm hopeful for him
more than anything, he loves football, he doesn't look at anything else so
when he's not playing football his life is a little bit empty, which we work
with him on that. "Five months, it's been a long time coming and to name him
on the team sheet, to have him in the dressing rooms, seeing him involved
again, it's great. I said to him when he went on to just go and enjoy
himself and you could see with the burst of pace, getting shots off that we
miss him and we want him back to full fitness."

New jobs for the boys

By: Staff Writer

Sam Allardyce has been confirmed as the new manager of Everton - on the same
day as Alan Pardew was confirmed as manager of West Bromwich Albion. The two
former West Ham bosses were confirmed by their new clubs within a matter of
hours of each other this morning, just three weeks after another Premier
League stalwart, David Moyes replaced Slaven Bilic at West Ham. Pardew, who
as KUMB.com exclusively revealed earlier in November wanted a second stab at
the West Ham job has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Albion.
Meanwhile Allardyce, who held the managerial post at West Ham between 2011
and 2015 is poised to sign an 18-month deal worth in the region of £6million
per year. "I'm thrilled with the opportunity Albion have provided," said
Pardew this morning. "I'm looking forward to getting to work with what I
consider to be a talented group of players and it's an exciting opportunity
to play a part in that ambition. "The immediate challenge will be to get the
results we need to pull ourselves up the table. But I'm aware that while I'm
joining one of the great, traditional clubs of English football, it is one
determined to go forward in the Premier League.
Meanwhile Allardyce is set to be at Goodison Park tonight when his new club
take on Moyes' West Ham, although caretaker boss David Unsworth is expected
to name the team and remain as interim manager until later this week.

McAvennie: Macari was horrible!
KUMB.com
Filed: Wednesday, 29th November 2017
By: Staff Writer

West Ham legend Frank McAvennie has been speaking about his longstanding
beef with former manager Lou Macari. McAvennie was enjoying a second spell
at Upton Park when Macari was hired as replacement for the popular John
Lyall - and within a matter of months, had left the club following a
gambling scandal.
"We got him sacked at West Ham," Macca told interviewer Si Ferry. "He was
never there, he was hopeless. If we got beaten, it was nothing to do with
him - it was becasue you weren't fit enough, so he'd give you extra running.
"I ended up in hospital after one of his pals, Chris Kamara broke my ankle
with a bad tackle on the opening day of the season. They took me to Stoke
Hospital where I was told I wouldn't be able to walk properly, never mind
play football again. "I phoned the physio and the team bus came to pick me
up - and Lou wasn't there, he wasn't even on the bus. "We got back to London
at one in the morning and the doctor said 'that's ok, I'll sort it' - I
don't understand why they sent you to accident and emergency. But that was
Macari for you. "I got the ok to train again on Christmas Eve - and on
Christmas Day he gave me a four mile road run and my ankle blew up again.
I'd been told to do light training and he took me on a four-mile run. He's a
horrible little person."

Everton v West Ham preview: Gylfi Sigurdsson calls on Toffees to turn it
around
Last Updated: 29/11/17 4:37pm
SSN

Gylfi Sigurdsson wants Everton to turn around their poor form and says home
advantage is key as West Ham visit Goodison Park on Wednesday (kick-off
8pm). The managerless Toffees were defeated 4-1 at Southampton on Sunday,
which came just three days after a 5-1 home drubbing by Atalanta on
Thursday. "All of the players are determined to turn this around," the
Iceland international midfielder said. "We need a little bit of luck, we got
back into the game but we need to make sure we take advantage of those
situations. "The positive thing is we have two more games this week. We must
go into the next one with a bit of positivity and try to get something from
the game. "We have two very important games coming up now. We are playing at
home and we need to get six points."
West Ham boss David Moyes returns to Goodison Park with Everton still
waiting to appoint a permanent manager, but the Scot has plenty of advice
for caretaker David Unsworth, who could be set for his final game in charge.
"If he doesn't take the Everton job I think I would tell 'Unsy' to go and
manage somewhere and earn your corn," said Moyes. "If you want to move on go
and get a job in the Championship or League One. "I think there has been a
generation of really good players out there who I believe should go and
manage and try and come up. "I would say earn your stripes first and show
you can organise so that you can control the team and show that your
training works, all the things that are linked with management and
leadership. "I still believe the best thing to do is to go out and trust
yourself to win a few games wherever you go."

Team news

Everton duo Leighton Baines and Michael Keane are likely to sit out
Wednesday's match after both came off with injuries at Southampton on
Sunday. Fellow defender Mason Holgate (groin), who has missed the last three
matches, will be assessed ahead of the contest at Goodison Park. Oumar
Niasse is unavailable as he completes his two-match suspension, but Tom
Davies can be called upon again having served his one-game ban.

Moyes is set to take an unchanged West Ham squad to Goodison. Marko
Arnautovic should be available despite limping off towards the end of Friday
night's 1-1 draw with Leicester. Javier Hernandez, Michail Antonio (both
hamstring) and James Collins (ankle) are not quite ready to return and Jose
Fonte (ankle) is out until the new year.

Everton have lost just once in their last 18 Premier League matches against
the Hammers (W11 D6 L1) - losing 3-2 in March 2016 under Roberto Martinez.
West Ham have failed to score in their last two Premier League games against
Everton - they last went three in a row without netting back in February
2000 under Harry Redknapp.
Moyes has lost all four of his Premier League matches against his former
side Everton as a manager by an aggregate score of 0-8.
Moyes took charge of 427 Premier League games as Everton manager - only one
of three bosses to have managed 300+ games at one club in the competition,
alongside Arsene Wenger (803 at Arsenal) and Sir Alex Ferguson (810 at Man
Utd).
This will be the 39th consecutive Premier League matchday in which Moyes has
started in charge of a team in the relegation zone - only one manager has a
longer run of matchdays started in a relegation zone, John Gorman in 1993/94
at Swindon Town (40 in a row).
West Ham's winless streak in the Premier League now stands at six games (W0
D3 L3) and should they fail to win this match it'll be their second instance
of a seven-game winless streak in the league in 2017 alone (seven games
between February and April).
Wayne Rooney has been directly involved in 15 goals in 15 starts against
West Ham United in the Premier League (11 goals, four assists).
Andy Carroll hasn't scored in any of his last 11 competitive appearances for
West Ham. Since scoring in the 18th minute of their 2-1 loss against Hull
City on April 1, 2017, the striker has gone 14 hours and 19 minutes without
a goal and attempted just four shots on target in this period.

Merson's prediction

This could be a good game. I thought West Ham did all right against
Leicester on Friday. It was a weird game in that Leicester could not get out
of their own half, but nothing happened in the second half for 25 minutes
and it was not like Kasper Schmeichel was making save after save. Everton,
though, are all over the place, conceding fours and fives in their last two
games… that is not Everton. And on Sunday, for me they just lay down.

Everton have good fans, so it was sad to see and it must be breaking their
hearts seeing that. But I am going to go with home advantage here, as if
they cannot get themselves up for this game at home, they need to start
panicking. This is a big match and they need to give more than they did
against Southampton and bar a worldy goal by Gylfi Sigurdsson, it was not
much.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (9/1 with Sky Bet)

David Moyes says he would relish long-term West Ham stay
Last Updated: 28/11/17 11:22pm
SSN

David Moyes admits he would relish a long-term stay at West Ham, in order to
develop the club like he did at Everton. Moyes replaced the sacked Slaven
Bilic as manager earlier this month, signing a contract until the end of the
season as the Hammers task the Scot with helping secure Premier League
survival. Moyes spent 11 years at Goodison Park, turning Everton into
regular top-eight finishers and occasional European qualifiers, but fears
the days of managers being able to build towards a long-term goal has now
are disappearing. "I'd love to think football clubs would always go long
term and think that way," said Moyes. "I hope it will turn full circle. At
the moment managers are now down to probably 16 months in the job, maybe
even less in some cases. "What it means is there's always a chance of a
change of staff and a change of players. It doesn't get to be settled and
bedded down. "Sometimes you need the directors to say 'OK we have to go with
it, we have to put things in place for the long term'."
The 54-year-old cited academies as a key element in a club's development,
but admitted his immediate focus is ensuring his side avoid the drop. "There
are other things you need to develop - you want your academy to develop, you
want all the things around your club, your infrastructure, all to be good,"
he said. "Myself included, maybe even more so. My job is to come here and
win games and make sure we stay up. I'm here at the moment on a short-term
contract. "The future for managers looks more likely to be short-term
contracts than managers tending to get 10 or 11 years in any one job."
Moyes returns to Goodison Park on Wednesday with West Ham desperate for a
victory to lift themselves out of the relegation zone. Everton are in some
disarray, with caretaker boss David Unsworth still in charge five weeks
after they sacked Ronald Koeman, but Moyes is undecided on whether now is a
good time to take on the Toffees. "I know the players there and they'll be
hurting. They'll be wanting to get back to the standards they've set," he
said. "But my focus is on West Ham and my focus is solely on how we're doing
and trying to improve our performances to get us three points from the
game."

West Ham's James Collins suffers minor setback after aggravating hamstring
injury
JACK ROSSER
ES Sport

West Ham defender James Collins has suffered a minor setback after making a
return from injury on Tuesday night. The Wales international, who
originally suffered an ankle injury against West Brom in September but then
picked up a hamstring problem in training last week, was named in the
starting XI for the Hammers' U23s Checkatrade Trophy clash with Wycombe
Wanderers. However, the 34-year-old was withdrawn after just 24 minutes
after aggravating his hamstring problem. Collins was withdrawn as a
precaution and looked comfortable as he left the pitch at Adams Park, where
Terry Westley's side lost 2-0, and is not expected to face much too much
longer on the sidelines. The setback, though, will come as an annoyance to
first team manager David Moyes, who is already without fellow centre-half
Jose Fonte until the New Year. Michail Antonio, however, is closing in on a
return from injury and has travelled to Everton with the squad for their
clash on Wednesday night, though is not expected to start.
