Pundit wants Lukasz Fabianski dropped and replaced by West Ham United
We’re delighted to welcome former West Ham United striker Frank McAvennie as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at the London Stadium…
Frank McAvennie wants Lukasz Fabianski to be dropped from the team and then replaced by West Ham in the summer transfer window due to his recent form.
The Hammers have been battling with relegation all season in the Premier League with the Polish veteran seen as David Moyes’ number one, while Alphonse Areola has been the man between the sticks in the Europa Conference League where they’ve reached the semi-finals.
And McAvennie believes the time has come to drop Fabianski from the team and replace him in the transfer window, because he believes it’s obvious that Moyes doesn’t rate Areola as his number one.
“I think they need to get a new goalkeeper too because Fabianski is not on the top of his game at the moment is he? ” he told West Ham Zone.
“Areola isn’t a number one. He’s not good enough. I think the number one should be in now. Fabianski has dropped a couple of clangers, they should put Areola in and make him fight to get back in. David can’t see it.
“Football was easy when I played. If you didn’t play well you got dropped and whoever came in, if they played well they keep the position. You had to fight to get your place back.
“All this rotating now, it’s a nonsense. You get dropped.
“If Areola comes in then fine, he’s been pretty solid apart from the doing they got a couple of weeks ago [vs Brighton].”
