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

[No8Bally]

Hope City put about 15 in the net tonight

This is exactly the type of game West Ham would turn up and randomly get a 2-1 win in the past, but David Moyes is their manager now so we’ll see how that goes.

Moyes will go for this, with the Maginot line formation.

8-1-1.

 

[Yarrgh]

Moyes get a result away from home against a decent club? Not going to happen is it...

But... but.... he said he was a winner.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Lanzini, Bowen, Anderson and Haller all on the bench for West Ham tonight. I can understand why Moyes has gone defensive but I still want to rip him to bits for it.

No worries, Pep will simply do a von Manstein by going around their defences, hammer him from behind and they'll be surrendering before you know it.

Dave will be praying for his own Dunkerque before the end of March because he'll want his reputation to be rescued.

Absolute state of that West Ham side. They're at the point where they just have to go for it in their remaining fixtures, damage limitation does absolutely nothing for them.

Typical, negative Moyes.

 

[Nymzee]

Proper Moyes team.

West Ham fans fuming on Twitter

Moyes is trending on there

 

[PhilM]

They're the only tweets I could find that wouldn't get me banned for severe breaches of the swear filter.

It really is incredibly difficult to see what 'Winner' Moyes has to offer at Premier League level anymore.
It's been nothing but downhill for him since he took the 'step up' (chuckle, chuckle) to the mancs from us.

But he is a winner.*

*If the definition of being a winner is a 12.5% win rate with a record of P8, W1, D2, L5 since returning to the club. That'll likely be 11% by the end of the evening.

Don’t understand what Moyes is thinking here. They’re running out of games to save themselves and he’s sticking with negative, cowardly tactics.

A leopard can't change its spots. I suspect that he'll have been looking to sneak a draw, at best, and more probably to not be totally turned over.

As I typed that out and hit post reply I was thinking to myself “what am I talking about, I know exactly what’s he’s thinking”.

Their remaining fixtures are very difficult as well, so I don’t know how he thinks he can pick and choose what games to actually have a go in- they’re all toigh
