He beat Spurs and City away from home more than once, but not traditional top 4 clubs. Well at least not in the league (beat us last year in Carabao Cup at OT).
David Moyes West Ham Manager (Again) | European Champion

- Start date
if Gold and Sullivan sack him they’ll replace him with David Moyes
Loves that area of the world does Moyesy.
Loves it.
Loves it.
Honestly don't get his set up in these matches. They always lose doing the same thing so why not try getting into the opposition, sticking an extra man up top to stop the arsenal (or whoever) defenders from being able to walk to the half way line
Playing Moyes' team away from home is difficult, playing Moyes' team at home is not easy but his tactics give you confidence that you'll beat them in the end despite not having many chances. It's basically how we beat them at OT last couple of seasons. So I don't understand it either as it doesn't seem to give him results and yet he's been insisting on it for years.
I've always felt he was a manager incapable of taking accountability, and I believe he probably thinks it's not the set up that is a problem, but how it's carried out by his team. I'm pretty convinced he thinks he has the right set up for these games, even though everything indicates the opposite.
Got to be facing the sack now. Incapable of beating a top six side away in something like 70 matches
To have spent largely your whole career in midtable safety and still never once approached one of these games thinking I’m going to have a go today is pathetic
Dinosaur of dinosaurs. Outlasted every dinosaur in the premier league and still going strong playing dinosaur football in this day and age after spending a fortune. Hasn’t achieved anything, will achieve nothing but is a self proclaimed winner. Won’t get relegated won’t win a cup even by mistake. And won’t be able to beat a top 6 club away. David Moyes for you.
Been found out yet again after his purple patch last season. West Ham are one of the worst teams in the league right now.
To be fair they were very good in 2020/21 season as well.
Far too pragmatic. I actually remember his Everton team a season or two before he came to United and they were a decent attacking outfit with alot of the intricate play coming through Baines. I think the influx of European coaches has disrupted the hoof it tendencies and if a team can't play out through the back effectively or rotate play around the midfield your almost guaranteed to be looking at a relegation fodder team. The eras of your Tony Pulis, Sam Allardyce and Moyes is long expired. They have no place in the upper echelon of league 1 domestic football. The game has changed drastically in the last 5 years alone.
league matches
Arsenal: P19 W0 D4 L15
Chelsea: P18 W0 D7 L11
Liverpool: P18 W0 D6 L11
Man Utd: P16 W0 D4 L12
That stat is incredible, I was a bit surprised it was still a thing when I heard it yesterday. Arsenal's equaliser was a bit fortunate but West Ham completely folded after that and made it easy for them.
I'm not sure Moyes deserves the sack just yet though. West Ham are having a poor season but Moyes got them consecutive top 7 finishes so has a bit of credit in the bank. They were a bit of a basket case for a few years before he managed that.
Everton manager by the end of January.
he obviously has no idea what to do with or why he signed that Paqueta guy, shades of the Mata signing
He is a loser. Always will be
They were saying on Talkshite earlier how well West Ham were playing.
Playing so well, they failed to score.

If only we'd given him more time!
Not sure that would go down too well actually.
They have gone backwards dramatically this season under him
For all their swagger about how unattainable Rice is, scrapping in the relegation dogfight is a sure way to lower his value and get the vultures circling. I still think he could make a classy centre back.
Spent nearly 200m for this dross
It's been almost 9 years since Moyes got sacked at United, for all that time we only saw confirmation of what we thought of him back then - good, but limited manager. It shows yet again at West Ham. I think he'll be around in Premier League for another few years surely, but will be interesting to see how he does.
Can we get west ham to spend 40M on Maguire in January?
Sacked soon?
It's probably because SAF told him, when he invited him over to tell him he'll be the next Utd manager, that those tactics were the ones that convinced him to give him the job.
He is a good manager though. Nowhere near good enough for United, but he's proven over the last ~20 years he's definitely a solid PL level manager.
He's a decent manager but his times up at WHU.
He does well when he has very limited budgets - when he has the chance to spend it goes pear shaped.
His time is up. He’s gotta be right up there with Rogers for next in line in the sack race.

No doubt he’ll get sacked this week or after their next loss. Looking at the game against Brentford it’s unbelievable that they weren’t given a penalty in the first half. Small margins change games and possibly careers. The rest of the season shows they are having a mare though and with pressure in modern football it’s almost impossible to turn it around. Even if he wins 3 on the bounce he’ll be two defeats in a row away from the sack.
Well he is good, though it depends how you define word 'good'. He was good for Everton and West Ham until this season, so 20 years at PL level. You can change word 'good' for 'solid' or 'decent', but my point stands.
If they don't sack him they are getting relegated.
Relegation zone. He has been lucky Lampard is there to hide a bit how shit West Ham have been
Lots of clubs are lucky in terms of how shit others have been. There are probably 6 or 7 clubs who can’t believe how they aren’t bottom and 9 points adrift of everyone else but it just shows how poor the quality of the league is this year.
When do we reckon Dave's getting the boot then?
Himself, Rodgers and Lampard are in the ultimate sack race.
