In the aftermath of West Ham United’s tense 2-2 draw with Sheffield United, where fans expressed dissatisfaction with David Moyes, Chris Sutton steps forward to laud the Scotsman’s managerial prowess. While some supporters voiced chants calling for Moyes’s departure, Sutton dismisses the notion, asserting that Moyes is doing an “excellent job” at the London Stadium.

Addressing the situation on It’s All Kicking Off, Sutton expresses disbelief at the criticism, stating, “I don’t know anybody in the world of football who thinks that David Moyes hasn’t done an excellent job at West Ham.” He finds the headlines calling for Moyes’s sack deeply unfair and unnecessary, emphasizing the team’s sixth-place standing, success in the Europa League, and the challenges faced with key players missing.

Sutton defends Moyes’s record, highlighting the exceptional work in signing players like Kudus and the overall positive trajectory of West Ham. The irony of the situation is noted, as Ben Johnson, introduced by Moyes during the Sheffield United game, delivered an impressive midfield performance, contradicting the criticism.

Acknowledging that the style of play may not always be exhilarating, Sutton underscores the results-driven approach that has positioned West Ham favorably in Europe and contention for European places in the Premier League. Despite some fans expressing discontent, Sutton advocates for Moyes’s continued tenure, hoping that the decision-makers at the London Stadium share a similar perspective on the manager’s achievements and contributions to the club.
