Lanzini was always a threat
A beaming David Moyes hailed his team of heroes after a fabulous 3-1 victory over Everton declaring: “What a great performance.
It was a good game, we really enjoyed it. We played well and I enjoyed watching it. We scored good goals.
“[All three] were great strikes, but our play all day was really good. In recent weeks our form has been very good – our football has improved and players are getting better.
“It came very close to our best performance of the season and I thought we played very well with the ball.
We had signs of that at Leicester, we had signs at Manchester United, and when I look back to when we first came in and were trying to get results by hook or by crook, today looks much more structured and we’ve got a way of playing. We were very good today.
“When we came in we were in the bottom three and we’ve ended 13th, so I’d have taken that all day long, that’s for sure.”
Of Marko Arnautovic he said: “Marko has been brilliant. I know the quality of centre halves they have, Phil Jagielka, Michael Keane, and I can tell you he was up against really good players.
“At the moment he is looking a real handful. The bit of play we had when Nobes nearly scored early on was terrific, and I thought Joao Mario and Lanzini were always a threat on the break too.”
Yep couldn’t agree more Moyes we looked strong today, completely outclassed a very good team as we did against Leicester, well done no matter what happens next COYI !!!
Still need a top coach though moyes and your not it my son thanks and goodbye. I can’t feel sorry for you on the money you got for six months and wasted on hugil and evra known in the football world as a ditherer and we don’t need that with the cash we will have in summer from a shamed board of directors that have to act this time or sell up.
You are a tough judge Razor 😉 He had to sign Evra because Masuaku got himself banned for 6 games and as for Huggill well we don’t know officially he was a Moyes signing but even so he needed someone and the daves were squeezing the life out of the purse strings, agree though he was an odd signing, not a single stat I could see to justify spending on him….
Thank you Mr Moyes but goodbye, well out of your depth in this league now. We need a new manager with fresh ideas who can play different formations and ways against different opposition. You could give Moyes £200 million but he couldn’t spend it, no one would want to play for the man. Time to move on and make the most important signing we can ever make, the right manager.
I think he’s done a good job, he hasn’t been supported in the transfer market and when the supporters were rioting he held his nerve., an injury list from an unfit and unprofessional bunch of players.
He’s stood up to the problems with the so called big players.
We can’t keep changing every 5 mins we’ll never build anything, for me I would give him a decent contract and let him work and build.
Some of the so called top managers linked in the press will never work with our budget and interfering and undermining board.
He knows who are the bad eggs, the bad performers and he’s 6 months into sorting this out.
He’s also got a decent backroom set up in place, its time for some stability.
Moyes has had only six months at West Ham . During that time the team has improved no end . Took us out of the bottom three to finish 13th . We have been playing some good stuff
Recently which shows he is very capable in my view . We seem a lot more organized and definitely more together as a unit with stability . I think he should be given a contract and build on what is looking like the beginnings of a decent side . Be a shame to throw all that hard work away for an unknown quantity .
Looks like its marmite with Moyes. Everyone has their own reason to like or dislike the manager and his tactics and decision making. He was an unpopular choice when he first came in (i’m in that bracket too) but fans were asked to give him till the end of the season and judge him on his results (i still don’t like him). So now having finished 13th in the league by ending the season with a generally good standard of play from the team in the last 3 or 4 games, how do we sum this up?
On paper you’d have to say the guy has got to stay but as a fan myself for 50yrs, emotion comes in to it and i can’t say i would like him to stay. Decisions like this are always hard and we should go with the bare facts in front of us to come to the correct conclusion….. but i don’t think i can.
I’m going to sit back and see what rolls out from all of this. Whatever i think or write here (being a classic keyboard warrior of course) it’s not going to change the price of fish. Whether the owners have made up their mind or not already, who knows but they are the ones who have to live and die by the sword.
An interesting few weeks lie ahead!!
Mr Moyes and his staff have done a Stella job for us given the time he’s been with us …I believe that given a decent contract and monies will and can overhaul the entire playing staff and give us the solid base we crave, he obviously now knows what we as fans expect from a team…
If we are to be anything like the team we all want, then solid principles need to be applied and for me he and his staff seem to be on the ball….he also has had a very very close look at our development squad and must be impressed by what he’s seen …there’s certainly a few golden nuggets amongst them ..
He certainly dipped into them when absolutely necessary but given his task was to keep us up, we can hardly fault him for using them sparingly …..I hope he stays for awhile but if ..If we do get someone else in then it’s definitely starting from scratch all over again and by then we could already be in deep sh*t …and the championship doesn’t take any prisoners either…
Be careful what we wish for …a wish is a wish the bottom of the table is reality…can we really afford to get our next management position wrong ? For me it’s a no brainer get him signed up …
Well said Doc66 and others – a few weeks ago I wanted a new manager but now in the comfort of midtable I think that Moyes has earned the right to have a go – the football is certainly much better than BFS and the stability better than SLav – the talk of Emery and Fonseca etc reminds me of Sully talking up Lacazette and Batshuayi when neither was really interested in joining us – my worry is that the board messes Moyes around, fails with their attempts to get Pep mark 2 and then Moyes tells us to get stuffed, Newcastle coughs up for Rafa and we are left with the 5th or 6th choice
I feel the same as you Zahama has all the hallmarks of being another negative PR exercise by the Dave’s if they start scouting other managers, mind you officially DM is off the payroll as his contract expired at midnight last night according to the MOTD team.
