Bad results, poor performances and individual 'lapses' just seem to happen consistently to West Ham and David Moyes. Feels like a manager could sort it out.
Date published: Sunday 19th February 2023 8:12 -
That substitution did involve a formation change. Moyes started with a 5-3-2 system which left no room for interpretation as to the first number; it was a five. There are sometimes blurred lines in and out of possession or in certain game states, but this was not three centre-halves with wing-backs given licence to roam either side. This was a rigid, flat back five.
Considering the weekend’s prior results, it was a surrender West Ham could hardly afford. They entered these fixtures in 16th and will end them in 18th, with three of the four teams who had been below them all winning 1-0. The Hammers were three Premier League games unbeaten before visiting their London rivals, after a hard-fought victory over Everton and two spirited draws with Newcastle and; suddenly that exact same form is incorporated in a run of just one win in 11 top-flight matches.
This club more than any other will realise that no team is too good to go down – not even one which finished seventh last season,and lost no regular first-team starters. Moyes will have his excuses but surely even he wouldn’t dare try and explain how West Ham have been leapfrogged by Fulham, Brentford and Brighton from the position he manoeuvred them into.
