David Moyes has surely just hinted that West Ham player with one Premier League minute this season will start vs Fulham.

The Hammers earned a hard-fought 1-0 win away in Anderlecht last night and as a result, we are now firmly in control of Europa Conference League Group B.

In my opinion, Flynn Downes was one of the very best performers on the night for West Ham, alongside Craig Dawson, Jarrod Bowen and Alphonse Areola.

The 23-year-old proved last night that he is more than good enough to be playing week in, week out in the Premier League.

Downes would have been really disappointed not to feature in our last three games, having played so well against FCSB at the London Stadium a few weeks ago.

Surely there can be no questions regarding his quality now though. He has undoubtedly given David Moyes somewhat of a selection headache ahead of our clash with Fulham on Sunday…

Moyes drops selection hint ahead of West Ham vs Fulham

The Scot will be desperate for his West Ham team to earn three points against Fulham this weekend, and make it two Premier League wins in a row.

The Hammers rotated heavily against Anderlecht last night, but it seems as though one of the fringe players who came into the side could be in line to start on Sunday.

Moyes addressed the media yesterday and praised Downes for his performance against Anderlecht, as quoted by Football.London:

Flynn Downes played really well tonight. I thought he was really good. And the goalkeeper made a couple of great saves. But Flynn has given is something to think about. He’s only just starting to get the feel of it in training, he’s beginning to get used to what we want. He did a really good job tonight, Flynn.

The ex-Swansea midfielder was a really calming influence in the middle of the park for the Hammers against the Belgian side.

He kept us ticking and moved the ball around at ease.

The Brentwood-born Hammer got stuck in, was tenacious in the tackle and provided a solid shield for our backline. He had plenty of energy as well – a prerequisite for anyone who plays for David Moyes.

Downes absolutely should start for West Ham against Fulham now in my opinion.

And it seems as thought that’s something that David Moyes is at least considering.

He only has one Premier League minute to his name at the moment – a late substitute appearance on the opening day of the season against Manchester City. That’s surely all about to change though, after last night’s display.
