West Ham 3 Charlton 0 (Carabao Cup)
A welcome win and three goals for the Hammers. Haller could hardly miss after Cullen and Yarmolenko set him up for a tap-in, but his second, a towering header from a cross by Snodgrass, proved the difference a bit of confidence makes. Lanzini set up the third for Anderson, who sank to his knees praying for a manager who selects him. It was a strong line-up and a year ago the front four of Yarmolenko, Haller, Lanzini and Anderson was meant to promise great things. Haller should surely start at Arsenal and Anderson, Snodgrass, Yarmolenko and Cullen have all made a case for inclusion.
Meanwhile a £31 million bid for James Tarkowski has been turned down. The Clarets really don't want to sell him and it's surely time to target a cheaper centre-back and some full-backs. Rob Holding has been another rumour, except he's not keen on a loan move. There was clearly no realistic target when Diangana was sold, so our scouting department now has to prove that it can finally deliver.
