**YOU MISSED MY POINT!**
Virgil is back with another Daily Ramble, and this time he's expanding on his thoughts about the enormous potential within this West Ham United squad.
Forget the frustration for a moment. Forget the results. Look at the actual talent we have at this football club!
Austbo, Mukasa, Engels, Orford, Kanté and Golembekis could form the nucleus of something genuinely special at West Ham for years to come.
But talent alone isn't enough.
These young players need nurturing, confidence and, most importantly, a style of football that allows them to express themselves rather than restricting their natural abilities.
And what about our struggling strikers? Are they really the problem, or are they simply being starved of the creativity and service they desperately need?
Virgil isn't saying results don't matter. Quite the opposite. He believes we have the players capable of delivering both entertaining football AND results.
**We don't need to choose between style and substance. Why can't we have both?**
The potential is enormous. The foundations are there. The future could be incredibly exciting.
**It's time to release the handbrake and let these players play!**
Do you share Virgil's optimism about this squad? Is Nuno holding back a potentially brilliant young team?
