David Moyes absolutely has to drop 31-year-old and promote unbelievable West Ham United teenager.
West Ham lost to Olympiacos in the Europa League out in Greece tonight, and David Moyes now has some serious decisions to make.

The Hammers were woeful in Athens, and the 2-1 scoreline actually flattered us in the end – it should have been a lot more embarrassing.
One of the worst performers on the night was Danny Ings. The 31-year-old was utterly atrocious out there tonight.
The former Aston Villa, Southampton, Liverpool and Burnley man looked so far off the pace against Olympiacos, much like he has every single time he’s taken to the pitch this season.
Moyes spent £15 million to bring him to the London Stadium in January (Sky Sports), and I bet he’s now regretting that massively.
He was actually heavily linked with an exit from West Ham in the summer, but he allegedly snubbed a move to Everton late on in the window.
Now it’s time for Ings to be moved on as soon as possible, but until then, Moyes needs to get one of our super-talented youngsters involved more…
No more messing about, David Moyes must drop Ings and promote West Ham teenager
Divin Mubama has been absolutely exceptional for the under-21s and under-18s over the past couple of years, and he hasn’t looked out of place once whenever he’s been given minutes for the senior side.
The 19-year-old striker has pace and power in abundance and most importantly, he is far better suited to Moyes’s system than Ings is.
Why is the Scot persisting with the 31-year-old when it’s so obvious to see that he’s completely unsuited to his setup? Maybe it’s a pride thing because he was the one who brought him to the club, who knows.
What I do know is that Mubama absolutely cannot do any worse than the ageing forward.
The talented teenager has so much potential – he had an incredible 36 scouts in attendance to watch him during the FA Youth Cup Final six months ago.
Described as an ‘unbelievable talent’, Mubama has been on fire over the past couple of years with the club’s youth teams, but now it’s time for him to be given a chance at the very highest level.
Danny Ings is completely done at West Ham as far as I’m concerned, and the sooner that David Moyes comes to that conclusion the better.
It’s Mubama’s time to shine now, and I strongly believe he’s good enough to push Michail Antonio for his place as the club’s main striker.
