# West Ham United: Fans react to David Moyes comments

**A number of West Ham fans have urged David Moyes to sign a striker following the Irons’ stalemate against Burnley on Sunday.**

The east Londoners were held to a 0-0 draw when they faced off against the Clarets in an underwhelming clash at Turf Moor. West Ham’s lone striker Michail Antonio had just [two shots](https://www.sofascore.com/burnley-west-ham-united/gsM) the entire game, and neither of those were on target.

After starting the season off with [four goals in the opening three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdaten/spieler/104124) league games, the 31-year-old’s clinical form has begun to tail off. The Jamaica international has now [failed to score in his last seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdaten/spieler/104124) Premier League games, and there is [no natural centre-forward alternative](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/kadernachposition/verein/379) to call upon.

In a [post-match interview](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1470332669972131842?s=20) on Sunday, Moyes said: “We just didn’t quite have the quality in the final third when we needed it today. We got in enough times to do so, but we couldn’t make a goal from it.”

### Fans urge Moyes to sign a striker

After West Ham shared the interview on the club’s official [Twitter channel](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1470332669972131842?s=20) and [website](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/december/12-december/david-moyes-i-want-win-i-want-play-better), a number of fans reacted by highlighting their frustrations at the [lack of investment](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/alletransfers/verein/379) in forward players, not the first time the club’s GSB ownership has [come under fire](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-protest-fans-gsb-out-march-board-a4374951.html).

Here are some of the supporters’ responses to what Moyes had to say:

**“Well sign a proper centre forward then Mr Moyes. Put Antonio on the wing.”**

**“Maybe it’s that one single striker who actually isn’t a striker in the entire squad thing we warned you about at the beginning of the season. What other top six side is this unbalanced? Owners taking cheap shortcuts as always.”**

**“I hope he gave Antonio a good talking to!”**
