According to Chris Sutton, there exists a segment of West Ham fans who may not fully acknowledge the commendable work accomplished by David Moyes, despite the notable victory over Arsenal on Thursday (28 December).
The pundit took to Twitter to express his views, highlighting Moyes’ considerable achievements. Even with the impressive triumph over Arsenal, Sutton anticipates that Moyes will continue to encounter challenges from a faction of West Ham supporters, who harbor dissatisfaction with the Scotsman.
“Moyes never has received the credit he deserves,” noted Sutton after the emphatic victory over Arsenal. “Even after tonight and David Moyes schooling Mikel Arteta, we will probably get calls into 606 on Saturday from a certain section of West Ham fans who are unhappy with the job David Moyes is doing.”
Indeed, Moyes’ contributions merit due recognition, especially considering his pivotal role in orchestrating the triumph over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The victory, a feat few imagined, propelled West Ham back into the Premier League’s top six.
Exemplifying a resolute defensive showcase in the absence of the customary center-back pairing of Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd, West Ham effectively thwarted Arsenal’s attacking endeavors throughout the contest.
Furthermore, the Hammers exhibited clinical efficiency, as Tomas Soucek capitalized on a rare opening in the first half, followed by Konstantinos Mavropanos’ header against his former side in the second half.
With Moyes poised to secure a contract extension, given that his current deal concludes at the end of the season, the team’s performances undoubtedly advocate for the merit of such an arrangement. The outcome of their recent displays underscores the legitimacy of Moyes’ continued tenure and emphasizes his pivotal role in the club’s ongoing successes.
