David Moyes has explained how he has brought the best from Hammers record signing Marko Arnautovic!
And it was the manager’s now familiar mantra which is the sole reason behind it with Moyes explaining: “It was just about telling him if he wasn’t going to run he wasn’t going to play.”
He added: “Nobody doubts his ability and quality as a footballer. He’s got to make sure his mentality side – he keeps doing it.”
He explained after the Bournemouth defeat that “there will be a few getting a clip round the ear when we get back in” but added: “Most of them though have shown a great attitude.
“He was always a good player Marko Arnautovic, but maybe he’s also going better through the middle rather than out wide.”
Moyes again admitted his desire to bolster West Ham’s midfield in the January transfer window, while accepting his squad appears top-heavy in terms of forwards.
