West Ham boss Moyes admits dilemma over Hart, Adrian choice

Published on: 08 December 2017

West Ham boss David Moyes admits he faces a tough decision over his first-choice goalkeeper.

He wrote for the London Evening Standard: "With Joe Hart ineligible for the (Manchester) City game, Adrian came in and did very well. So what happens now?

"First of all, I would want to say that Adrian's performance gives me a good problem because I'm looking for keen competition for places in this team. I don't want anyone to feel they have a divine right to play.

"We have two good goalkeepers and every manager is looking for that. I'm not going to reveal just at this moment which of them will be playing on Saturday. Talking generally, Adrian did well against City but Joe is an exceptional goalkeeper who has qualities which may go unnoticed, such as his communication, his influence in the dressing room and his invaluable experience.

"I am also aware that he is England's first-choice goalkeeper and there is a World Cup next summer but, as West Ham's manager, I am only interested in winning matches and doing what is right for this club. I do believe, though, that you have to have some consideration for the players involved and any decision I make will take due account of their welfare."
