Although they’re having another fine season under David Moyes, all is not well at West Ham at present.
The East Londoners are hanging on the coat-tails of the top six in the Premier League and are safely through to the knockout stages of the Europa League which begin again next week.
There’s a school of thought that the Irons are doing so well in spite of their manager not because of him, but you don’t get to win a European final and qualify for European competition for three seasons in a row if you’re not any good.
The problem for the Hammers seems to be Moyes’ unwillingness to bend to the will of others or take on board any new ideas.
As the second oldest manager in the Premier League behind Roy Hodgson, that shouldn’t really come as a surprise.
Tim Steidten came to the club and was a breath of fresh air in terms of being able to land certain targets.
Indeed, Moyes has Steidten to thank for bringing the likes of Mo Kudus and Edson Alvarez to East London.
The friction between the pair has been well documented, however, and that’s likely to see Steidten leaving the club this summer if the Hammers hierarchy press ahead with handing Moyes a new contract as expected.
“Perhaps Moyes staying adds credence to why Steidten might be more likely to leave West Ham and go to Liverpool right now,” journalist, Dean Jones, said to Give Me Sport.
“But I think we also have to weigh in that Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs you could ever be involved in, and it is extremely difficult to say no to them if they do come knocking.”
Moyes needs to move on we need to be more attack minded we have had a few good results that took us to 6th place but now slipped down to 7th place and we are probably going to slip down even more the style of play that Moyes sticks to rigidly is costing us points yes he won our first trophy in over 40years but we are struggling against teams we should be seeing off without a problem yet we can only manage a draw really not good enough the amount of space we give to the teams we play against puts us on the back foot from the start of the games and gives the opposition the opportunity to attack us again and again with no real response it’s not working every game we play the opposition know what we are going to do and how we will play Moyes has done a good job in moving the team up the league but it’s painful to watch he blames the players the fans ect ect bit never takes the blame when it is all down to him he picks the team he decides on how we are going to play so mr Moyes it’s time to go as you are holding us back in moving up to the next level
Where did this rumour come from or should i ask which of you made it up?
0-6 looks like you’re going to get what you want… But be careful what you pray for.. You could end up in the championship if you change managers.
