West Ham United fans here in the Tavern are hoping that David Moyes can ensure survival, as they could still slip into the dreaded relegation zone.
The Hammers have returned to their old ways as they just can’t buy a win, having lost their last three Premier League encounters. Although, with arguably one of the best squads in the English top-flight, many of our local residents are hoping that some of the club’s star players can carry them to safety.
Indeed, David Moyes will need to experiment with his side from here on in until the end of the season, as first-team regulars have failed to execute his plans in recent times. Indeed, this provides a great opportunity for some of the fringe members of the squad to impress from here on in, with plenty of opportunities available to make a difference.
Therefore, here’s a look at TWO West Ham players that are surely playing for their futures under Moyes…
Javier Hernandez
The former Manchester United striker has been one of the biggest disappointments so far this season for the Hammers, as his lack of goals has caused all sorts of problems.
Indeed, many of our local residents believed they’d finally found their 20-goal man when the Mexican signed in the summer, but the 29-year-old has only managed to find the net on seven occasions in what’s been a poor first season back in the Premier League.
Therefore, the striker needs to buck up his ideas from here on in until the end of the season, with his performances thus far not warranting a future at the London Stadium.
Sam Byram
Sam Byram has been wasted talent since making the move from Championship side Leeds United, as he was once one of the most exciting youngsters in English football.
Indeed, the 24-year-old has only managed to make 10 appearances for the Hammers so far this season, as David Moyes continues to choose experience over youth in the form of Pablo Zabaleta.
Therefore, the defender will need to prove his worth from here on in until the end of the season, with his future at the club looking less than certain.
