Arnie the all-rounder
MarKO arNaUTOVIC is central to everything West Ham do. He has always been a strong, physical forward but now he is using his power and energy in the right way. He is the springboard from which West Ham launch attacks. His team-mates know that if they find arnautovic, he will protect the ball with his life. It gives the midfielders confidence to make runs from deep and join the attack. With him in the team, West Ham have that belief they can create something from nothing. arnautovic (left) is still selfish when he needs to be. He will beat a player with pace and trickery. He will finish in those vital moments. But his all-round game is much more complete. David Moyes deserves credit for demanding more from him last season. Manuel pellegrini is now reaping the rewards.
