The presser wasn't tetchy or hostile at all as some had said. Maybe they were talking about the one after the Wolves game.

He certainly responded harshly when a female reporter suggested the centrer forwards were both not playing well...a condescending "Oh you think do do you?" almost like who are you to determine that. and he wasnt smiling.
It wasn't hostile but it wasnt colleagial eather.

I don't think that's quite what he was saying, and do we need the undertones of "Moyes is a sexist" which is what some people are obviously getting at, but haven't got the balls to say, yet clearly feel the need to point out what gender the reporter was for some mysterious reason.

It was an off the cuff, "no $h!t sherlock" moment. And a fair one at that! Anyone who isn't brain dead can see the strikers/team need to get more goals. You don't have to be Einstein to know 6 goals in 5 games is hardly stellar stuff, never mind a low contribution from the twelve two strikers we've got. Hardly outrageous or offensive.

I agree, he would have answered a man in exactly the same way, he was being sarcastic and people know it.
His haters are looking for anything.
I mean one started a poll on how long he should last, FFS

Tarkowski not been the same since the hammy, I guess

On the other hand he was this bad at the start of last season without Jarrad as well

JB is the kind of centre half, in the VVD or Dias mould, who makes everyone around him play better, from Myko, to the midfielders, to Pickers. He's quick, calm on the ball, a good reader of the game, and has that aura about him. He is that good

Ye any centre half will look worse next to Keane. Hes not been brilliant but with Branthwaite and mykolenko back should help him recover .

Moyes could act as Potter’s executioner​


The irony will not be lost on West Ham or David Moyes should Everton consign the Hammers to a sixth defeat in seven matches and signal the end of Graham Potter’s uninspiring managerial reign. Many at West Ham were desperate to see the back of the Scot despite him winning the club’s first trophy in 43 years but they could soon be on to their third manager of 2025 with results nosediving under his successors. Potter, meanwhile, was considered a potential replacement for Sean Dyche by Everton’s owners, although never offered the job. Potter has failed to rectify his team’s inability to defend set pieces, with seven goals conceded from corners already this season. If there is any consolation for Potter, Everton have not scored from one this term. Having talked up the importance of the Carabao Cup to Everton after 30 years without a trophy, Moyes duly made seven unnecessary changes for the dismal exit at Wolves in midweek. West Ham managers past and present require a reaction at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Andy Hunter

From the EPL preview....
This is a huge game for Graham Potter and West Ham United, but they face Everton at an unfortunate time.

Everton are yet to concede a Premier League goal at Hill Dickinson Stadium and are hoping to keep a clean sheet in their opening three matches at home for the first time since 1987/88.

The star player in their strong start has of course been August's EA SPORTS Player of the Month, Jack Grealish, who tops the Premier League charts for assists, with four, and has created more chances (13) than any other player bar Man Utd's Bruno Fernandes (15).

Meanwhile, West Ham have conceded seven goals from corners already this season, suggesting a vulnerability to the kind of crosses that have become a prominent feature of Grealish’s game again.

Kyle Walker-Peters will need to win his battle with Grealish if Potter is to avoid another damaging defeat. West Ham have lost 52 per cent of their Premier League games under Potter (12/23), the highest loss rate of any permanent Hammers manager in the Premier League era.

I would go dibling ndiaye and grealish. With KDH and gueye behind them. Proper go for it. Also Barry instead of Beto

We should have different tactics for home and away tbh. We expect more ball and intensity at home. We could pull this off

Id play Beto tbh. But it's much of a muchness. They both offer similar levels but Barry seems better with build up play
