Paul Merson calls West Ham’s performance on Sky Sports today “shocking” in light of what he witnessed

Paul Merson calls West Ham’s performance on Sky Sports today “shocking” in light of what he witnessed.

 

 

After the loss to Arsenal the previous weekend, Paul Merson was taken aback by what David Moyes did at West Ham prior to the team’s 2-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

 

Merson thought he could have sent the same players out and ordered them to make up for the 6-0 loss, so he was astonished the manager made changes to the team that lost to Arsenal.

 

The former Arsenal player’s doubts were validated when the Hammers ultimately suffered a setback and were unable to score, with Kalvin Phillips being substituted shortly after rejoining the team.

 

Merson said during a live interview on Sky Sports News on February 17 at 14:11. “I’m surprised he made changes.” I had assumed that he would just play for the same squad and tell them to “get on with it.” “You save yourselves from difficulties.”

 

“They disappointed him [against Arsenal].” The team was not led by David Moyes. A portion of the choices made were almost stunning. You don’t expect to be finished at set plays, West Ham teams. They were flawed in every way.

 

“This is a match that Forest supporters will attend and declare, ‘We’ll win because it’s West Ham.'” It’s a challenging game. The supporters will show up, but Forest faces a challenging match. David Moyes and West Ham will make sure this team is prepared.

In addition to being vital for the Hammers, the match against Forest was also significant for Moyes’ future and standing at the team as the pressure mounts.

 

Rumors about the management position have been circulating since that crushing loss to Arsenal, and because a contract offer has been postponed, Moyes will have the next few games to salvage their recent winning streak.

 

This should have been seen as a perfect chance for Moyes to secure West Ham’s first three points of 2024, with Forest languishing near the bottom of the table, but Forest defeated West Ham 2-0 at the City Ground to put further pressure on the manager.

 

 

West Ham

Although David Moyes’ second stint as West Ham United’s manager has been mainly successful, things are currently getting worse.

Merson should have been correct when he said that the Hammers would be a tough team to play against this week, but they folded at the first hint of trouble, putting even more doubt on Moyes’ judgment.
