West Ham manager David Moyes has a full squad to choose from on Thursday
West Ham boss David Moyes has revealed that he has a full squad to choose from on Thursday against Dinamo Zagreb.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Scotsman revealed that the Hammers have no injuries, and he can pick whoever he wants in the opening Europa League clash [West Ham’s official website].
This is huge news for the Irons, and it will be intriguing to see what team Moyes decides to go for in the Croatian capital.
He said: “We’ve got no injuries. We have everybody fit and available. I’ll look at it because we have a busy programme, but overall everybody is fit and available, and we’re all excited about being here.
“We’ve got a lot of people who we can make changes with, but we’re also trying to choose and pick the right way if we can do and get the selection correct.”
Moyes to make changes.
Judging by Moyes’ comments, it appears as if he is ready to make some changes to his squad as he looks to balance the available talent.
It seems as if Mark Noble will get his first start of the season, as will Alphonse Areola, according to Roshane Thomas, and it will be intriguing to see who else comes into the side [Sun].
We haven’t seen Kurt Zouma or Alex Kral yet, so could this match represent an opportunity for both of those two to make their debuts?
No matter who Moyes picks, he has plenty of options to choose from, and this could be the first time we get to see some of the Irons’ fringe players.
However, you would hope that he doesn’t make too many changes and the Hammers stick with at least some of the players who have helped them start the season well.
