Moyes fires warning to West Ham stars

David Moyes has sent out a warning to his West Ham players, saying they must cut out their individual errors or face being axed from the team.

Moyes took over as manager of the Hammers after Slaven Bilic lost his job last month. But it has been no easy ride for Moyes by any means, and his side were thrashed 4-0 by fellow strugglers Everton on Wednesday evening.

The result leaves the Hammers still in the relegation zone, and extends their winless league run to seven games.

As if it wasn’t already, Moyes insists that now is the time for his players to buck their ideas up, and stop making individual errors that have proved to be so costly.



He said after the match against his old side Everton: “I thought we were completely submissive in the first half and the worst thing was individual mistakes cost us.

“I think in the time I’ve been here, in the three games I’ve had, the goals we’re conceding are from individual errors.

“I don’t think it is because we are not organised or not running hard enough to get back into position, or the players are not showing the right attitude.

“I actually think it was individual mistakes in the games that are costing us, so we either have to eradicate it or find people who are not going to make the individual mistakes.”

Things don’t get much easier for West Ham though, as they face rampant Manchester City away on Sunday.

“I think I have got to hope that this is where ‘you never know what happens in football’ comes in, because we certainly wouldn’t be looking favourites.

“I have to say there’s not many teams looking favourites when coming up against those teams just now. We have to go there and it’s exactly right – you never know.”
