While declaring before the visit to Tottenham that “we are looking to get more than one point” was proof he and his West Ham manager are on drastically different pages, Angelo Ogbonna has at least re-established his importance under David Moyes. A cruciate ligament injury in November 2021 had threatened to ruin what remained of the 34-year-old’s career but the end of a long road back has coincided with West Ham’s increasing desperation.
The polarising midfielder had been substituted early in all three of his pre-January starts this season, the longest of which lasted 66 minutes. But circumstances forced Tottenham’s hand when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s suspension, Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma’s injuries and the club’s atrocious squad composition gave Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr a chance against Milan.
Before the World Cup, Wan-Bissaka played four of a possible 1,890 minutes across all competitions for Man Utd. There was a brief back injury which rendered the right-back’s October obsolete but Diogo Dalot had otherwise made the position his own with no view to sharing. “Who knew? Not me,” Guardiola said of his inverted full-back’s unanticipated rise recently. “I did not expect in this part of the season for Rico in three, four or five games – important games – to be playing all the time. No. He was in the second team and arrived on the summer tour because you have to put in another player and he came. He convinced me.”
Sancho surely the quintessential'like a new signing' player?!
