Not exactly setting London alight our Max, West Ham are finding goals and wins hard to come by, but Moyes doesn't seem to think Max is the answer, he plays him in the Europa League, but he hasn't been sighted in the last two PL games. No doubt the money's good though.

I mentioned this previously that perhaps Cornett looked very good because he was surrounded by 'average' players. Now he is surrounded by bonifide premiership and full international players it turns out he is 'average' and struggling to get in to the team.
I did read that Moyes thought he was quite a lazy player who didn't 'shine' during ytraining.
Bloody hell, Max has set London alight now, only came on in the 86th minute, hit the post and then had a last minute equaliser ruled after one of the most ludicrous VARs you'll ever see. Won't have done him any harm, either with Moyes or the fans.
It's exactly what they all wanted because they were moaning about officials all the time.
VAR is the answer to everything and will enable fans to see the 'perfect' game of football ----in due course.
IN 1990, they introduced the 4th Official, whose primary task is to stand on the touchline and get grievous bodily earache from both benches. In those days, there were 11 players on each side and two subs from each side on the bench. The games were more physical, officials did their job with the occasional mistake, we enjoyed going to matches, which lasted 90ish minutes and chewed the cud about it in the pub afterwards.
In recent times, we have come to a point where there are 20 players from each team in a matchday squad fro each team and 16 of those can be used in a game. We still have 3 onfield officials, plus the 4th official and then we have added a VAR and Assistant VAR who sit a very long way from the grounds and can dictate what the match officials should or should not do ------all thanks to the media. The game still lasts 90ish minutes, however, at the top level now, we do not really talk about the match, fans talk about VAR and its effect. For this pleasure thay are paying megabucks and can't honestly say that they have enjoyed some games.
All this is in FIFA's quest to present the 'perfect' game of footballl and they have messed around with The Laws of the Game and their interpretation to achieve this. Instead of continuing this quest, which they will never achieve, they would do well to look at just what they have done in the last 30 plus years, aided and abetted by the media, in trying to have digital technology take over what is basically a simple game which used to be enjoyable. Wouldn't it be lovely to see a player celebrate scoring a goal without wondering whether or not it will count. Dream on folks, it isn't going to happen!
VAR is such a sick joke that I wasn't overly fussed when we didn't get the handball pen at WBA, the ref didn't see it, the liner missed it, we were robbed, the game went on. One or two comments afterwards, but no one made a fuss about it.
You win some, you lose some, it is what it is, refs don't see everything, football as it should be, they can stick VAR right up their fecking arses for me.
