After a disappointing week, spiky David Moyes has taken exception to being questioned about two important West Ham issues. West Ham has not had a better week in many months following back-to-back losses to Olympiacos and Aston Villa.
Both were difficult tasks on paper, and neither served as a timely reminder to West Ham that they still have a lot of work to do before they can be considered a competitive team. Many supporters believe David Moyes made mistakes in selecting his team and strategy for the two games. especially the most difficult match for West Ham in their Europa League group, which took place in Greece.
Most people agree that the manager should have focused more on getting players game time rather than building a team and players that would perform well in a testing environment.
Of course, a major component of any football team is team spirit. Moyes must thus strike the proper balance. However, it’s safe to say that this week he made a mistake.
On Hammers News this week, we said that the manager shouldn’t be making any significant adjustments for the match. However, he wasn’t too happy about being questioned about it during his most recent press conference. After a disappointing week, Spiky Moyes has taken exception to being questioned about two important West Ham issues. The Scot became indignant when his modifications were questioned. And didn’t like it when the team spirit was questioned in particular.
When asked about the situation, Moyes said, “You have to look back at those 17 unbeaten games and in all 17 we’ve made changes.” We accomplished my goal last night of using players in the squad and giving them a chance to demonstrate their abilities. I will state that this year’s group is the hardest one we’ve been drawn to. We don’t need to raise the spirits because they are excellent; they are great.” The two perfectly reasonable questions seemed to unsettle the manager.
That team spirit is still strong, though, is encouraging.
Since the Hammers have a run of five games in fifteen days that could significantly affect how the rest of the season plays out, it is necessary.
