David Moyes, filled with embarrassment, vented his frustration at his disappointed West Ham squad following their devastating loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Hammers suffered a humiliating 5-2 defeat at Selhurst Park, falling behind 4-0 within the first thirty minutes of the match.

The crushing loss has severely dented West Ham’s chances of securing a fourth consecutive season competing in Europe and has raised doubts about Moyes’s future at the club, considering his contract is set to expire this summer.

Throughout the season, West Ham has experienced a rocky journey, marked by several catastrophic results. They endured a 5-0 thrashing by Fulham, a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Arsenal, and a painful 4-3 defeat to Newcastle after squandering a 3-1 lead in the final minutes. Moyes expressed dismay, labeling Sunday’s performance as a new low for the team.

Moyes criticized his team’s lackluster first-half performance, deeming it “unacceptable” and attributing it to a potential loss of the team’s resilience and competitive edge. Despite the challenging fixture schedule, including a demanding Europa League quarter-final clash against Bayer Leverkusen just days prior, Moyes refused to use fatigue as an excuse for the lackluster display against Palace.

Expressing disappointment and embarrassment on behalf of the team and their supporters, Moyes acknowledged the magnitude of the defeat and admitted that he hadn’t witnessed such a dismal performance from any of his teams throughout his career. The defeat serves as a stark reminder of the work that lies ahead for Moyes and his West Ham squad as they look to bounce back from this setback.
