Craig Dawson leaving west ham for game time

Imagine we let our captain go on loan to Everton who then play a back four only to bring in Dawson and switch back to a three

Lage wants sacking for that alone

I noticed last night how timid our formation is, no one seems to find another position and it seems they are playing by numbers.
The one ironic exception is Raul who pops up everywhere when he should always be in the the centre of the pitch in the width of the penalty area.
Are they playing to Bruno’s plan and are not allowed to us their own initiative.

Rigid not timid.

Both - they are not mutually exclusive.

Down to the coach, not the players. I think (and to be honest, hope) he is on borrowed time. I’m not seeing anything that makes me think he’s up to the job, however ‘patient’ he expects us to be.

One thing I wonder with the dendoncker, boly etc moves is that Lage is saying he needs time, players together for first time, no pre season etc. Even if b Traore and Dawson are better and better long term options (which I think they probably are) is there not an argument for some stability in the team. I don't mind them going as players and I wouldn't mind them going if we were looking likely to integrate the new players well and quickly, but given we're not and lage is saying it'll take till WC, do we want to be doing anything that isn't totally necessary that makes that harder?

I don't see Craig Dawson as a long term option. He's 32 already.

I would have thought a loan deal for this season would be a better option re Dawson, especially if we're loaning Mosquera out.

Getting rid of Donk seems daft unless we have a good player coming in.

Getting rid of Hwang is a must for him and us.

Flatter than a Wolves game on here. It is deadline day, we should be rocking.
