Fan favourite Pablo Fornals has issued a great response to being marginalised by David Moyes at West Ham this season.
After three long weeks without a Premier League game, West Ham face a huge relegation six-pointer against Southampton at the London Stadium.
And the stakes could not be much higher.
Win and West Ham can go 14th. Lose and the Hammers will find themselves replacing the Saints at at the bottom of the table.
Usually in this kind of do or die situation Pablo Fornals would be one of the first players David Moyes turns to.
Fornals had established himself as a fundamental player at West Ham under Moyes in recent seasons.
Fornals has struggled but hasn’t everyone?
The midfield ace is loved by West Ham fans for his infectious attitude, workrate and of course his ability.
Yes the Cockney Carzola should score more goals with the chances he has. But nobody can doubt his quality or commitment.
Fornals has struggled to consistently hit his usual high standards when he has played this season. But has anyone in a West Ham shirt?
Moyes has been heavily criticised by some Hammers fans for freezing Fornals out of the starting XI and not playing him in a central role when he does get the chance.
Now fan favourite Fornals has issued a great response to being marginalised by Moyes at West Ham.

“I obviously want to play more in the Premier League, but it is what it is,” Fornals told West Ham’s website.
“Like all my teammates, I want to play, but I will wait for my chance to play again, and when I do get the chance, I’ll make sure I am ready.
“The main thing is to be together inside. If we do that, these last months of the season will be better for everyone. Of course, at the beginning of the season, I didn’t expect things to be like this, because I am not a pessimist. But we are trying to keep the good vibes and positivity for each game, because it is the best way to keep us challenging for wins.”
What a fantastic attitude. And yet another example of just why the Spaniard is so well liked at West Ham.
His energy and workrate is just what we need in the battle to stay up.
