Now, as West Ham gets ready to visit Selhurst Park on Sunday, David Moyes has said regarding Crystal Palace supporters.
Oliver Glasner will be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since taking Roy Hodgson’s place in SE25, after last Sunday’s thrilling 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
This will undoubtedly be a challenging test, though, since on Thursday, West Ham came dangerously close to breaking Bayer Leverkusen’s incredible 44-game winning streak.
What then did Moyes say regarding Crystal Palace supporters? Let’s examine this.
David Moyes’ remarks regarding Crystal Palace supporters
The 60-year-old acknowledged Crystal Palace fans for creating such a threatening atmosphere at Selhurst Park and predicted a challenging match for his West Ham team in south London.
According to Moyes, visiting Palace is always a challenging experience, as stated on the West Ham official website. I believe that every manager would agree that it’s never simple to go there and obtain a result. This is another difficult game, and they provide excellent support.
They have good players, which is why I believe they have proven to be difficult opponents. They have some incredibly gifted people.
“Every week, the Premier League remains the same. Because of how good the Premier League is, you can speak a big game about the opposition.
It’s good to see that Moyes clearly respects us a great deal.
When Oliver Glasner last encountered the Glaswegian, what happened?
Although Glasner had never coached in England before, the Austrian did face Moyes during Eintracht Frankfurt vs. West Ham in the UEFA Europa League semifinals during the 2021–2022 season.
The Salzburg native led his team to a 2-1 victory at London Stadium in the first leg, and with a 1-0 victory in the return leg on German soil, he guaranteed his spot in the UEFA Europa League final.
Naturally, West Ham is not the same team as it was in 2022 when Declan Rice left for Arsenal, but Glasner will undoubtedly feel confident against Moyes after twice outwitting the Scot.
