Have you forgot about the once-famous Zola?

Zola unveiled

Speaking about Kinnear. Have anybody forgot about Italian ‘magician’ Gianfranco Zola?

The present raving problems of Newcastle United and their backroom staff have effectively blocked away vision of many football fans, and divert their attention away from what is going on at Upton Park.

The ex-Chelsea player, was signed to replace the once-under pressure Alan Curbishley. Rumours of different managers being tempted to make the move down North London was overwheming, with a host of well-known managers reported to be interested in the job. But all those were subsequently proven as false news as they themselves came out to clarify matters. And it was all left to a relatively unproven manager in Zola to take up the West Ham hot seat.

Five games into his realm, and his side have already leaked in a significant amount of nine goals, keeping no clean sheets. Much-maligned English goalkeeper Robert Green, who was voted by fans as Hammer of the Year in 2008, have also came out to promise to put back the disappointing dip in form and help the North London side in the Premiere League race. But if you kept track of West Ham’s progress since Zola took over, their defence is also a cause for concern for the attack-minded Zola.

Zola loves nourishing young talents and the proud youth academy of Upton Park will definitely appease the Italian. But can he keep the West Ham faithfuls happy and let the club’s football worth every cent paid for the tickets?

Time will tell, but time is running out. The next game against high-flying Hull City will definitely be a tricky game. The 105-years-old club have exceeded all the expectations of them and it will be on them to really impress in their first season in the top tier of English football. Watch out for dancing feets of Geovanni who could prove to be the difference! Well, this have become a match review, haven’t it?
