West Ham manager David Moyes says his best attribute is training with players
Moyes told reporters yesterday “I think if you’re asking me my best attribute will be on the grass with the players, training and I hope that we can see something that’s needed there. Once they know they are running and sprinting the least, they need to step up.
We will give them the opportunity with sessions and hopefully they step up. I also want them to enjoy it. We have a lot of organisation to do as well so just know that they are working hard, trying to get the best out of all of them and hopefully it will show.
If anything, it has been a little bit frantic this week they are anxious to show, keen to show the new manager what they can do but there will be no favours. They will either do the work and get on with it, if they don’t do the work then they are not playing. I am in a hurry and they need to be as well.”
Not sure about you Sean and Hugh but the way you have to spin these stories out over the international wastes (because they are a complete waste of time) you must be looking forward to having something meaningful to report on ?
“On the grass with the players”? Me thinks we are fast getting to the route cause of our difficulties this season!
The more I hear from him, the more excited I am to see us play.
Me too said some good things about running & Clean slate for players, I’m hoping for the best & if we can get our defense organised & drill out some of those individual errors. We are capable & he has a point to prove as well.
Might end of seeing Sahko tho don’t fancy is attitude I can see both sides to recent issues & he is best all around CF we have him & Chic have to fancy.
I don’t know if Arnie will fit for him tho I hope he can get the best out of him.
I wonder the formation to he prefers a 4-3-2-1 with player right of striker or 4-4-2 which if we fix defense issues would be our best formations w our attacking players
And, me thinks we are fast getting to the ‘root’ cause………..mighty players from little root causes will grow…………
Well, the Opta Stats seemed pretty clear to this layman that the players weren’t working hard enough!
It was a bit strange of Bilic trying to explain the stats by saying that we’d had players sent off in some games and somehow this had skewed the stats – talk about clutching at straws – there’s no point trying to defend the indefensible!
Billic let them get away with murder, far too soft – what worries you is that you would expect the Senior Players to know what was expected and not stand for a lowering of standards.
A malaise had set with the Players and Moyes has his work cut out in getting them back in line!
Now I’m getting concerned. He seems to be playing lip service to the failings of Bilic and over doing the “they’re gonna be disciplined, organised and fit blah blah blah”. It’s as though he’s been told to say that just to appease disgruntled fans. Hopefully in wrong.

Its nice to see the enthusiasm from Moyes you csn tell he,s up for it and even little snippets of him working with obiang just says a lot in itself …all you ever saw slav do was hands in pockets talking.. Nothing against Slav but he lost all enthusiasm last few month’s….I hope Moyes gets em going and surprises a lot of fans who havnt given him a chance and seem they want him to fail…

ill be glad to see the back of Operation get Moyes liked on behalf the board.
Cynical me thinks the same
There is a demolition job on the owners in The Times newspaper this morning if anybody is interested. Would give you a ink to it but I haven’t go a clue how to do it. It is easy enough to find, but does not make good reading. I think the writer glosses over a lot of Bilic’s failings as a manager & relies quite a bit on quotes from Big Sam who you might think has an axe to grind. But the focus is mainly on their lack of basic man management skills.
