David Moyes - Taking a knife to a gunfight at West Ham, Part 2

[Deulofeumygod]

No injuries all season allows you to gel and play together weekly. We can only dream.

They've gotten so lucky with injuries. They had a full squad available today and have done for the majority of the season. As soon as they get a few injuries to the forward line they'll start to stutter.

But credit to Moyes, he's built a really balanced and strong team there.

Really? The forward line was the most underwhelming part of their play today. They have Vlasic ready to come in too, so there is some expensive cover there.

Keeping Rice and Soucek fit is their key to top four, I think.

They look like a proper team, band of brothers style like in the old days.

Given their form they are top 4 contenders, well ahead of us. The only issue for them is given towards the end of the season and all the extra European games, they run out of steam.

Will they take top four, or concentrate on winning the Europa League for a cheeky cup double? lol

Doing a fantastic job but bailed on that he will revert to type and flap it against the [Phrase removed] next week

Thought he'd ran out of ideas but he's completely turned around his own fortunes as well as West Ham's.

Everything he's building there is what we haven't had since he left. You can sense the connection between the players and the fans. It's been so long since we've had that here.

True mate. They've also spent a lot to do what they're doing. People seem to say Moyes and immediately think he's done it like his Everton days. They've spent a lot.

He’s doing the same job there as he done here. He’s a great manager when he’s not meant to be doing well. Gets the best out of talented players who are out of favour/form in other teams. All his teams are well drilled and work hard. Completely the opposite to ours.

 

[Ring master]

Doing very well to have West Ham as the 3rd best team of the whole 2021 points wise, he has the players doing what a normal team should do as in "Be able to attack, defend, and a lot more, but he also has the players willing to actually bother and do it as well, as well as not getting to many Injured

Would more likely think it's down to the conditioning team myself. Surely if the players are conditioned properly they avoid certain injuries. It can't all be down to bad luck or poor recovery time.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

In absolute fairness here, Moyes was down and out as a manager when he got that job. Very few people could have seriously expected him to regain his magic touch, other than people who like to bedwet and troll on the Internet.

Really hope dour davey proves me wrong and doesn't bottle it next match.

Agree completely. That right there is their biggest strength and also the area they have the least quality on the bench IMO. They stay healthy and why can’t they get top 4? United are still a mess, Spurs are down, Arsenal are down, Leicester are down. It’s now or never.
