@SimonBrewer20 Turning as in we were raving about him at the beginning of the year and now saying he is rubbish

I get he hasnt been excellent, but I dont think many of our players have

At just 21, I think we should cut him a bit more slack

[Az @AzTheHammer]

21 years old by the way

Suprised to see so many of our fans turn against him

He'll end up going elsewhere, improving, shining, and then the same fans will ask why we let him go

[CounterPressers @CounterPressers]

Malick Diouf is an invaluable profile for any elite side on a Championship-level fee.

Imagine adding a 99th percentile crosser of a ball to your squad alongside his physical floor. Sometimes football recruitment is just that simple.

@Baz210803537461 Young player, first season the Premier League, at a team that is in the bottom 3 pretty much the whole season

Its a tough ask

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@kjohno10 We were in a relegation battle, and lost 3 of our last 4 games in the league

Defenders in the bottom 3 will inevitably be conceding more goals than others and losing more games

I bet none of our defenders covered themselves in glory recently either

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@Robbienho_ They were ravaged with injuries, pretty much all their creative players unavailable, morale low

De Zerbi succeeded where two previous managers (with the same players) failed

I think thats the difference. Some managers can get the most out of what they have. Nuno didnt imo

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@AzamWHUFC Always a tough ask, as usually the promoted sides struggle (this season was a bit different)

But maybe with some proper backing and decent transfer kitty, it will be good to see if he could finally do well in the PL

Maybe its my soft spot for him, but I think it will work well

"Potter tried to change too much. You've got to come in and understand the culture of the club. He got rid of all the senior pros: me, Lukasz, Aaron, Vlad, Edson. Then, within 3, 4 weeks, he says 'we have no leaders'. It was Graham who put the team in bad stead."

West Ham signed TWENTY THREE players since Moyes left

Only 3 out of the starting XI today were signed by him

[ㅤً @Evertxn]

West Ham got relegated and sacking Moyes was still the correct decision. Half their current team is shite he signed. They just replaced him terribly.

[Az @AzTheHammer]

We weren't careful what we wished for...

[West Ham United @WestHam]

West Ham United can confirm David Moyes will leave the Club by mutual consent at the end of the 2023/24 season, when his contract expires.

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@Robbienho_ @WHU_Len We sold Emerson for less than 1m

Coufal was another leader/fighter we let go

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@Robbienho_ @WHU_Len We might have suffered from losing sucessive captains (Noble, Rice), leaders on the pitch (Zouma, Dawson) but also around the team (Nolan, Stuart Pearce)

It seemed like we never properly replaced those in and around us

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@Robbienho_ That relegation hurt the most

The one in 2011 and today were frustrating but didnt cut as deep as that

[Az @AzTheHammer]

Got sent this

With friends like these, who needs enemies!

Git

[Az @AzTheHammer]

Now relegation is confirmed, do we stick with Nuno for the Championship or do we get rid?

Personally, after he had 33 games and failed to get us out of the bottom 3, I'd bring someone else in

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@MOEWHU Defo a weird vibe about this

Almost 'deserve' to go down but at the same time, relegation would be a disaster

[Az @AzTheHammer]

Anyone think we'll pull off a great escape today?

[Az @AzTheHammer]

@MOEWHU Oh OK thats alright then 😂
