Moyes insists we get the basics right

hd-david-moyes-sunderland-middlesbrough_1bz2ernzj78us1byl6de0u9bvjDavid Moyes has made it clear that he has no intention of curbing the Hammers attacking instincts.

But he has issued a warning that none of the players can get away with not doing the tracking back and doing their defensive duties.

With the worse defensive record in the league, the manager declared: “We would be stupid if we didn’t look back, We’ve looked at the goals we’ve conceded and we have got the worst defensive record in the league.

We’ve got to try and find a way of stopping that.

“We don’t want to stop the attacking play because we’ve got good attacking players. But we can’t get away with not running back. We can’t get away with not doing the jobs we’ve got to do.

“Ultimately, they’ve got to be a bit more humble for each other, work for the team, and score goals together and defend together. We must start from scratch and give the players a chance to start again.”
