West Ham conceded the fourth most goals last season, ahead of only the three teams that were relegated. However way you try to paint it it's embarrassing
Yeah, with a near-crippled Kurt Zouma as their best defender. They are actually looking more porous this season. Their stats are also worse this season, but they've had some flukey results.
Fact is, a manager is not a miracle worker. If the players aren't good enough they will struggle.
Moyes had been trying to sign Magure last season and they botched the transfer.
I think
Moyes could get a lot more out of our central defenders than Dyche is at the moment. He may not be everybody's cup of tea, but he is a driven, professional manager. He works harder than almost any other gaffer in the game. Get Moyes and Irvine in and the results would improve dramatically, at least on what we've seen this season.
Last season WHU were actually sixth at the end of December and had beaten Arsenal away. They then gutted the squad in preparation for the new manager and the squad was left high and dry despite trying to juggle the PL, Europe and the FA Cup.
