Many West Ham United fans on social media have admitted that they aren’t happy that David Moyes continues to leave Pablo Fornals out of the team.
The Spaniard joined the Hammers from Villarreal in the summer for a fee of £24 million (BBC Sport), but has struggled for game time since the Scot replaced Manuel Pellegrini in the dugout.
Indeed, Fornals has started in just two of the seven Premier League games that Moyes has overseen and in the last few weeks, his time on the pitch has been decreasing.
After starting and playing 60 minutes against Everton he has since played 45 minutes against Leicester, 21 minutes against Liverpool and five minutes against Brighton. Then in their most recent game against Manchester City, the 23-year-old wasn’t even included in the matchday squad (Transfermarkt).
Club insider @ExWHUemployee has suggested that Moyes doesn’t rate Fornals, which would explain why he isn’t being played much.
In response, loads of Hammers fans have been critical of Moyes for refusing to utilise the former Spanish under-21 international more often, with many taking to Twitter to slam the Scot for this.
Here is what some had to say…
Moyes is an utter clown, he was our most inform player before he came in – complete suicide to destroy the confidence of a player that can make a difference

Literally dont understand this. Fornals was fast becoming one of our best players. His positional play and passing was great. Moyes is so anti football that’s why

Shows Moyes hasn’t got a clue. What a Mickey Mouse club we are at the moment.

Moyes is clueles and it actually makes my blood boil that we appointed him and continue to stick by him even though he clearly will get us relegated. The lad is quality and just needs a run in the team. Lanzini is rubbish now and the kid needs to replace him

How can he rate Lanzini and not him

Utterly ridiculous.

He’s doing Fornals dirty like he did Chicharito on his first go at the Club

Sorry but this is laughable. Even if Moyes doesn’t ‘rate’ him, how is he not good enough for the 18?
