David Moyes is in denial, has gone from hero to zero and should be left in 2022 if West Ham fail to beat Brentford | The Sun
DAVID MOYES is in denial – his West Ham team are bang in trouble with the Hammers having a 2022 to forget.
The East London club have undeniably had two-and-a-half good seasons on paper under the Scotsman.
He saved West Ham from relegation, followed it up with consecutive sixth and seventh-placed finishes, and a Europa League semi-final.
However, the European run, in particular, has masked the Hammers' dismal league form in the last calendar year.
West Ham have won just 11 Premier League games in 35, and from April they've managed just five wins in their last 23.
For further context, those 11 wins came against: Crystal Palace, Norwich X2, Watford, Wolves X2, Aston Villa X2, Everton, Fulham and Bournemouth.

That's five wins against relegated or newly promoted opposition, and six wins against teams that finished middle of the pack, or near bottom.
West Ham's once impressive counter attacking style had been found out, and manager Moyes needed to change the Hammers' style in order to sustain their push up the table.
And so the ex-Manchester United boss signed off on £161million worth of talent last summer, most of which played on mainland Europe.
Starting Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta, Italian internationals Gianluca Scamacca and Emerson, Moroccan ace Nayef Aguerd, Germany's Thilo Kehrer, Burnley main man Maxwel Cornet, World Cup winner Alphonse Areola and lifelong Hammer Flynn Downes all arrived at the London Stadium.
