FROM THE weekend, the evidence of our own eyes showed that Luis Guilherme is not up to taking the attack to an opponent, be it Bournemouth or next up, Liverpool. The stark statistics of a ‘zero’ – that’s 0.0 – expected goals and 0.01 expected assists proves that the corner flag is about as much threat as Guilherme at present.
Of course, the youngster can grow over time: But right here, right now is where West Ham need action. ‘Not potential’. And according to [_Footballfancast.com_](https://www.footballfancast.com/not-guilherme-nuno-can-fix-summerville-blow-with-west-ham-earthy/), Nuno’s preparation for the Liverpool contest has got a whole lot tougher with their report stating, without any room for doubt:
_“Unfortunately, the Dutchman won’t be fit for the Liverpool game” – footballfancast.com._
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which goes against our own information from Claret and Hugh associate editor Sean Whetstone, who tweeted at the weekend that Summerville’s was an absence ‘due to a knock’: Suggestion was that he’d be ok for next weekend.
Without Summerville, West Ham are reduced to one first – team quality winger. No natural replacement sits waiting since Guilherme fluffed his lines. Many – _footballfancast_ included- will see this as an opportunity for **George Earthy** who did play large parts of last season on loan at Bristol City as a wing back: A big ‘ask’, though, to bring him back from long term hamstring issues into a wide position.
More likely to see Paquetá reprise his Graham Potter left-sided role and West Ham field-out of necessity- another dodgy midfield with Soucek alongside Fernandes and Potts. Unfortunately.. I’d quite like to get to one of those Nuno pressers and ask him what has happened to Soungoutou Magassa. After a promising start, Nuno seems to trust a right back in midfield ahead of the young Frenchman. As they say, a real ‘head scratcher’.
In any case, my money is still on Summerville making it for the Liverpool game. Just saying.
