West Ham must make tough Pablo Fornals decision, David Moyes should find it easy though

Pablo Fornals seems to be somewhat lost at West Ham United at the moment, with a lack of minutes and David Moyes refusing to play him in his correct position.

West Ham United signed Pablo Fornals from Villarreal in the summer of 2019 for around £25 million (The Telegraph).

The 27-year-old has gone on to be a huge hit with the West Ham fans at the London Stadium.

However, Fornals has struggled for game-time with the Hammers under David Moyes this season.

So could it be time for the Spaniard and the East London club to part ways?

West Ham should sell Pablo Fornals

Now don’t get me wrong, I really like Pablo.

However, I just don’t think David Moyes is getting the best out of him and as a result, he’s not contributing enough.

The 27-year-old is out of contract at the London Stadium in the summer of 2024, and although West Ham have the option to extend that deal by a further 12 months, a decision on his future will likely be made at the end of this season.

The Spaniard has only been handed three starts by Moyes in the Hammers’ last 17 Premier League games.

And in four of those 17 games, Moyes didn’t even bring him on off the bench. Fornals has been given just 349 minutes of action in the Premier League since we beat Fulham on October 9th (Transfermarkt).

Fornals has played just under 27 minutes per game on average during those 13 matches where he has featured.

What must really infuriate Fornals is that he is constantly played out of position by Moyes.

Why on earth Moyes views him as a left winger really is anyone’s guess – Fornals has absolutely zero pace.

And when you’re playing as a wide attacking player, that makes it nigh on impossible to be any kind of threat.

The Spaniard works hard and possesses exceptional technical ability, but that is completely wasted when he is stuck isolated out on the left.

If David Moyes isn’t prepared to play Pablo Fornals centrally for West Ham, there is absolutely no point in having him out on the pitch in my opinion.

And because of that, selling him this summer might be the best outcome for all parties concerned.
