There is a lot of pressure on the Scottish boss to stay at West Ham.
This week’s reports state that Moyes has four games left to keep his job, beginning on Saturday at Nottingham Forest.
It follows the team’s most significant home league loss against Arsenal in more than 60 years last time out.
West Ham was thoroughly and totally embarrassed by the Gunners.
Pressure telling as Moyes makes bizarre new comment about hiding?
The Hammers supporters were forced to endure the shame of trailing 4-0 at the break. After that, they had to put up with being viciously incited by Arsenal supporters, and then the final humiliation came when Declan Rice scored a 30-yard bomb to seal the 6-0 loss.
With nary a scratch against their London rivals, West Ham put on a car crash of a show.
However, many believed that kind of scoreline was inevitable. This season, West Ham has lost to Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Fulham in same humiliating fashion.
Additionally, since the year began, the displays have been unacceptably subpar.
What rallying cry would manager muster?
It is in these circumstances that West Ham needs its leaders to take up.
However, since the humiliation at the hands of Arsenal, captain Kurt Zouma has been radio silent.
After some thought, the manager has now had time to address the loss.
However, Moyes’s weird new remark about West Ham hiding from Arsenal is symptomatic of the strain.
Before his news appearance, there was a sense of mystery. What sage advice and motivational speech did the Hammers manager give his troops before a crucial match?
‘We’re acting like it was a blip’
According to Moyes, his team will “act like the Arsenal defeat was a blip.”
We didn’t perform at the expected level or play well. In his pre-Forest press conference, Moores commented, “We were punished by a really good team.”
We will pretend that it’s a one-time event and attempt to recover the next day because we are all in this together. I’m excited to see how the players react since I’ve seen them do well in training.
Take action!? What kind of signal is that conveying? Even though Moyes doesn’t think it was a private incident, he should be sure that it was a hiccup.
He ought to be emphasizing that it was an isolated incident and promising that it won’t happen again.
Rather, he claims that it was a blip and that he and his West Ham teammates will just “act.”
Knowing, or at least thinking, that it was a one-time error is crucial to getting back up.
Because of how strange Moyes’ comment is, the club’s media team has—possibly sensibly—omitted it from their in-depth roundup of his press conference remarks in their separate article.
Everything about this is beginning to resemble Sam Allardyce’s final days.
