Benrahma: From Hammers hero to zero
Posted by Gonzo on October 17, 2023 in News, Whispers
I couldn’t help but sympathise with Said Benrahma after the incident with his Algeria manager during a friendly match in Egypt. Given Algeria’s struggling form prior to the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign in November, tensions were evidently high on the touchline.

When Benrahma ignored his manager Djamel Belmadi, the situation escalated. The former Marseille midfielder seemed to attempt a hand shake when Benni walked off the pitch. However, when Benrahma did not reciprocate, Belmadi grabbed the winger’s shirt.

Hammers hero? Benrahma has had a mixed relationship with David Moyes.

This led to an unsavoury face-off between Benrahma and his coach. This incident followed criticism from Benrahma’s teammate, Islam Slimani, who publicly called out Benrahma last week for attempting to take a penalty in the absence of the regular spot-kick taker, Riyad Mahrez. Slimani seemed deeply offended by Benrahma’s perceived disrespect, which quite frankly is ridiculous.

The reactions to both of these incidents were exaggerated. Belmadi should not have resorted to grabbing his player by the shirt and adopting a threatening posture. It was evident that the Algeria manager swiftly remembered the presence of cameras, and the situation was diffused before it could escalate further.

Belmadi squares up to Benrahma following his substitution.

From hero to zero
I feel for Benrahma, a player seemingly lacking appreciation both at club and international levels. It’s a swift fall from grace, considering he scored the opening goal in West Ham‘s Europa Conference triumph, ironically from a penalty. He has since transitioned from being the first-choice left winger to the third choice for the Hammers. It can’t have been easy for him.

Benrahma is a commendable individual, involved in charity work and always accessible to fans when approached. However, I can’t help but think that he needs to find a new club, ideally a place where he is valued and the style of play suits him.

Although he is a skilled footballer, at 28 years old, he should be more than just a substitute. Unfortunately, he will likely have to leave West Ham to secure regular playing time, as he has shown ineffectiveness far too often.

Clearly, he has reached a point where his footballing frustrations are manifesting as petulance. Witnessing a good person go from being a hero to zero is disheartening. I wish him the best in whatever the future holds.

Update emerges on new West Ham United contract for David Moyes
Claret and Hugh’s editor and founder Hugh Southon has shared that West Ham are not planning to hand a new deal to David Moyes at this stage.

The report on 17 October reads that the Hammers wait until Christmas at the earliest in the final year of a manager’s contract.

Moyes was on sack watch a few months ago, but a good European run which culminated in him guiding the side to the Conference League saw him carry on.

Southon wrote, “West Ham will take their time on deciding whether to offer David Moyes a new contract.

“The Hammers are likely to stick to their usual procedure of waiting and seeing in their manager’s final year before coming to a decision.

“David Moyes has has done many good things and David Sullivan stuck with him last season despite some tough times and in pre season when people were panicking.

“However, the club always waits in the last year of a deal until Christmas the earliest or pre-end of season so they will undoubtedly do the same and see how we are doing or have done.”

Fair enough

Last season was undoubtedly spectacular for the Hammers in Europe but domestically it was one of the worst seasons in recent times.

Had UEFA not come up with the idea of the Conference League, there was every chance that Moyes would not have been at the club.

Performances in Europe are one thing but the Hammers need to become a stable league side which is what they are doing this season.

If they are comfortable by Christmas or early next year and there is harmony behind the scenes, there’s every chance that Moyes is given a new deal.

However, if they find themselves in the bottom half and closer to the relegation zone than European places, then things become trickier.

As of now, everyone needs to take it one game at a time and see how things progress in the coming months.
