Isn’t it pretty obvious.
I’ve just explained it.

The style of football under Moyes for the past 18 months has been some of the best I've ever seen from West Ham.Vic_Watson wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 10:21 pm I think the Moyes Out comments were tongue in cheek. His style of football is dull though.
And nearly every single football pundit on TV and radio agrees with you.

Losing Oggy was huge, losing Zouma and Creswell, along with Coufal's loss in form, has been a disaster.
We are 1000/1 to get relegated on sky bet, worth a couple pound if you are in any doubt.bonzosbeard wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 11:45 pm I like to think we have enough points in bag to be more than safe.

The next few weeks will be interesting how it plays out. We could struggle for a while but I'm going for Moyes to turn it around. We actually might have to play it tight. Miserly with attack. Just for a bit. Let's see. Could be fun.
The thought of King and Dennis against our current defence does not fill me with confidence.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 12:57 am So much pessimism. Have to think that playing Watford and Leeds will help us turn our form around!
People on here kept saying King was crap when I suggested we sign him!
I have a suspicion that we hit our early season targets and are paying the price: top 4 in the League, through to the Europa in March, still in the League until this week, FA Cup to follow. In other words, we were alive in 4 competitions and lost focus because that's exactly what we wanted to achieve. Complacency: I see a drop in intensity and work rate (Antonio, Benrahma, Soucek, arguably Fornals) in addition to the injuries (Oggy, Cresswell, Zouma, previously Coufal.) The poor results worsen the situation until we're at the point now where international duties, COVID, lack of focus (Masuaku, Diop) and drifting away from what got us here (sheer hard word work) is costing us games. Rice and Bowen have kept the bar high; no blame on Fabianski or Lanzini (although he's showing up for games.) Yarmo does not make us better.
I thought the same when we played Burnley and Southampton too.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 12:57 am So much pessimism. Have to think that playing Watford and Leeds will help us turn our form around!
We can’t win them all. Our squad is not as good or as big as those ahead of us.funky chicken wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:37 am I thought the same when we played Burnley and Southampton too.
Oh for sure. I was just making the point we shouldn’t just assume just because we are playing certain teams we are guaranteed to go on and start picking up wins.ironilunga wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:54 am We can’t win them all. Our squad is not as good or as big as those ahead of us.
He is on a hiding to nothing is Moyes. If we had beaten Wolves and Soton but lost to Liverpool and Chelsea he’d be getting grief for not knowing how to play the big boys…like he did last season.
6th in the league - happy days!
