Moyes absolutely raves about West Ham star but he’s a possible doubt for City

Edson Alvarez of West Ham has been praised by David Moyes, although he is a possible doubt for Manchester City.

When Manchester City visits the London Stadium on Saturday, West Ham will face the ever-difficult chore of trying to earn a positive result.

The return of Pep Guardiola takes Manchester City to play the Hammers, who, like them, are unbeaten in the Premier League thus far.

West Ham have already established themselves as one of the season’s top teams.

With a win, the Hammers can leapfrog Manchester City and take the lead in the nascent Premier League table.

West Ham’s summer transfer business has impressed critics and fans alike.

The return of Pep Guardiola takes Manchester City to play the Hammers, who, like them, are unbeaten in the Premier League this season.

West Ham has already established itself as one of the season’s top teams.

With a win, the Hammers may leapfrog Manchester City to top the inaugural Premier League table.

West Ham’s summer transfer activity has thrilled both pundits and supporters.

David Moyes is a big fan of West Ham’s Edson Alvarez, but he’s a probable doubt for Man City. Mohammed Kudus, Konstantinos Mavropanos, James Ward-Prowse, and Edson Alvarez all arrived for roughly £122 million.

But one of them in particular has so far wowed West Ham’s management.

Moyes has praised West Ham’s Alvarez, but he is a possible doubt for Man City.

In an interview with The Evening Standard, Moyes praised the Mexican destroyer known as El Machin – The Machine.

Following Dec Hammers’ restoration, the Scot cited Alvarez as a pivotal person in his life.

‘Edson is a good example.’
“We’re building something new,” Moyes explained.

“We lost Declan Rice, our talismanic midfielder, but we’ve brought in new players who have quickly settled in.”

“A classic example is Edson Alvarez. He came directly into the team after joining from Ajax and appeared to have been there for a long time.”

The greatest honor of representing their country is usually bestowed upon top players.

That is the case with Alvarez, who represented Mexico in draws against Australia and Uzbekistan during the international break.

Delayed return from 10,000 mile round-trip and lack of training in vital team shape puts Alvarez start in doubt

The problem is a delayed return to training for Alvarez ahead of the Man City match coupled with the usual after effects of a 10,000-mile round-trip from London to the US – where both fixtures were played.

Speaking in his press conference ahead of facing Manchester City, Moyes once again picked out Alvarez, but this time to question whether he will be able to select him for the game.

“Some of them have picked up little bits of knocks,” Moyes told the press.

“Edson Alvarez had a delayed flight and returned home at 3 o’clock yesterday. It’s part and parcel of international breaks.

“(But) we’re hoping that we have everybody fit and available.”

The issue here is not just whether Alvarez is fit and fresh enough to play against the best team on the planet.

Team shape, organisation and every player knowing their job and which players they are picking up is more imperative against Man City than perhaps any other side.

Moyes will have been working on that all week with the majority of his starting XI.

Should Alvarez not be deemed ready to start against the best team on the planet, then Tomas Soucek has sent a strong message to Moyes in training this week.
