Ravel Morrison must leave West Ham for the good of his career
Many people brand him as England’s most talented midfielder since Frank Lampard, and they may have a point. With Morrison you don’t get tantalising displays that win his side games, and he is not the type of player to run a whole game like Andrea Pirlo or Xavi Hernandez, but you do get the occasional spark of brilliance. Today he looked like West Ham’s only genuine attacking threat, and got very little support as Sam Allardyce ordered his men to sit back and to launch the ball forward to Modibo Maiga. If Morrison is to progress into the player many are expecting him to become, he must leave before he becomes another wasted talent at a small English club that doesn’t want to play football.
