Following West Ham United’s recent triumph over Everton, Chris Sutton has called on the club’s supporters to rally behind manager David Moyes. The Hammers secured a 3-1 victory at Goodison Park on Saturday (2 March), with late goals from Tomas Soucek and Kurt Zouma ensuring back-to-back Premier League wins.
Despite facing criticism from some sections of the West Ham fanbase, Moyes has been praised by Sutton for his exceptional leadership, especially after a challenging period. Sutton, sharing his thoughts on BBC Radio Five Live on Saturday (2 March, 2:20), expressed frustration with the negative attitude of some fans towards Moyes, highlighting the team’s impressive goal tally in recent matches as evidence of his effective management.
The question of whether Moyes will remain at West Ham or depart has been a topic of speculation. Just days before the team’s turnaround, Moyes seemed to be on thin ice, with the Hammers struggling to secure a win in 2024 and suffering defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
However, victories against Brentford and now Everton have injected a renewed sense of optimism at the London Stadium. After overcoming a tough period, it appears Moyes and his squad are regaining their Premier League momentum.
Moyes has revealed that he’s been offered a new contract to extend his stay at West Ham beyond the current season. Yet, he’s choosing to delay his decision on his future until the season concludes. If Moyes continues to deliver results and foster the team’s attacking prowess, it’s likely that even the most critical fans will eagerly endorse his contract renewal.
