Nuno must immediately Bin Ward-Prowse & Unleash “Elegant” West Ham Star

One has the impression that it is a bit late to say that the wheels have detached for West Ham United.

The Hammers were eliminated from the League Cup in the second round and lost four of their five Premier League games by a combined 5-13 score.

It was as if it was more a question of when, rather than if Graham Potter was replaced in the canoe of the London stadium.

Lo and behold, despite its establishment of the press Friday afternoon before their clash with Everton on Monday, he received the boot on Saturday morning.

Nuno Santo was quickly announced as his replacement, but with only a few days of training before the confrontation with the Tofets, it will be interesting to see if the Portuguese make many widespread changes.

James Ward-Prowse could be a player who abandons while Nuno pursues a first victory.

Why Ward-Prowse must be abandoned

West Ham spent around 30 million pounds sterling to bring Ward-Prowse to London Stadium in the summer of 2023, and since it was sent to a short-term unsuccessful loan to Nottingham Forest last year, this was a failure of a move.

However, while the fans were desperate for Potter to drop the former Southampton Star of the programming, he continued to persist with English, which probably played a hand in his dismissal.

The English at 11 ceilings had a brilliant career in the high flight, and there was a time when his Deadball capacities made him a real threat to the saints, but these days have been over.

Instead, the 30 -year -old is now more an obstacle in the middle of the park than anything else, unable to offer a lot of attack and not be close enough to help in defense.

We have seen this duel problem in the midst of Crystal Palace, because even if it has taken 61 keys and completed 41 passes, it has amassed an expected lens combined and helps only 0.25.

In addition to that, he lost five out of six duels out of six, the three air duels, was drinned twice, lost possession 14 times and gave three faults.

It was a horror show, and which should see it far from the starting training for a while, especially since West Ham has a new midfielder who could come and do a better job.

Ideal replacement of West Ham Ward-Prowse

Although there are a few options that Nuno could go with Monday evening, he has to start Soungoutou Magassa instead of Ward-Prowse.

The first AS Monaco Ace is certainly still young and somewhat inexperienced compared to English, but it deserves a chance to show fans what it can do tonight.

More importantly, however, it offers something that the former star of the saints can no longer: dynamism and quality.

According to the analyst respected Ben Mattinson, the 21 -year -old has the chance to have a combination of “pure athletics” and an ability to “spray the passes largely in the wings” because his “Pass scope is at the top”.

In addition, Mattinson said that “defensively there is a high potential” in the young person, who is confirmed in his underlying figures.

Height

According to FBREF, he ranked in the upper 1% of Ligue 1 field environments last season for the dribblers covered, the plated plus interceptions and ball recovery, as well as the 5% of the tops for the plated won and more, all for 90 minutes.

He also set up promising attack figures, ranking the most important 9% for a successful percentage of shooting and the most important 17% for the past passes, also for 90.

In short, although it is far from the finished product, the “elegant” Frenchman, nicknamed by the scout of talents Jacek Kulig, already seems to be a better player than Ward-Prowse.

Therefore, for Nuno to increase the chances of claiming the three points, he should drop the 30 -year -old and start Magassa.
