David Moyes admitted that his activity is below risk after West Ham’s depressing 2-0 defeat at house to Brentford noticed them slip deeper into relegation hassle.
West Ham are some degree above the ground 3 after dropping 5 consecutive league video games and Moyes is operating out of time to persuade the London Stadium membership’s board to stick to him.
The Scot has carried out a high-quality activity since returning to the London Stadium for a 2d spell 3 years in the past however effects had been deficient this season and his aspect failed to provoke once more towards Brentford, who moved as much as 9th because of objectives from Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva.
Moyes was once life like after being requested in regards to the hypothesis over his long run. “I don’t think it’s unfair because the business we’re in means that if you go five games when you’ve not won then you could always be under pressure, I totally get that,” he mentioned. “You feel bad when you lose one, when you lose two, never mind five. That is football.
“I understand that totally, I only want the best for West Ham because it’s been a great club for me, the club’s done well. We’ve taken it into a better place than it was before so I’m desperate and determined to keep it there. I don’t want it to go back down and get dragged back down.”
West Ham spent £160m last summer but now find themselves battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
“I’m hoping it’s not the case,” Moyes said, on the prospect of his team being dragged into a scrap for survival. “But I’ve got to say I’ve lost a few games here at home recently so we have to be aware that we’re going to have to pick up points somewhere. It’s disappointing that we’ve not picked up any.
“We tried to change it tonight, we tried to play a bit better, find a different way and change a few people around to see if it helps, changed the system a bit as well. We are trying to find ways of doing it.
West Ham’s board have been supportive of Moyes, who inspired a run to the Europa League semi-finals last season, but patience could run out if results remain poor. Much will depend on how the east Londoners fare in their next three league games, which are all against fellow strugglers.
They visit Leeds on Wednesday and Wolves on 14 January before hosting Everton on 21 January. West Ham also visit Brentford in the third round of the FA Cup.
The worry for Brentford was Toney being carried off on a stretcher after suffering a potentially serious knee injury. “It’s unlikely that Ivan is subbed off because of a knock,” mentioned Thomas Frank. “It’s somewhat bit being concerned. We wish to assess within the subsequent two days. It might be not anything. It might be worse.
