Mose has to cure West Ham fear

Mark Noble looked up. In vain. He was looking for a running team mate, but no one answered. He was looking for some of his teammates, ready to take charge of the ball, but nothing. With two Liverpool players on his back, he did not have more free space and took the ball into touch, then turned to his disillusioned and shouted: Hey, somebody would ask. the ball ball! .
That`s what a mess I`m going to have to do with David Moyce when he starts work in West Ham. Here`s what sunken gems will have to bring to the surface, and what behavior should Moyes take away;the man with an eternally stunned and guilty expression, with the halo of eternal caution. He will have to pick up the guards before they drag him down into the abyss. It does not look like the right combination.
And that`s even before measuring the temperature of the supporters whose reaction to the news of his arrival is not the warmest. Fan forums are generally remarkable hostile monsters, but when the theme Moyes comes out! even before the manager`s appointment (and with over 400 voters in the poll before 10am on Sunday), this does not predict the ideal honeymoon.
Perhaps that is why he spoke briefly about the delay of the announcement and the search for alternatives by the club`s management. And what kind of club only -;heavily bound up with his decisions in Twitter and on the street.
However, the thesis against Mose is long and often spoken: he did well in Everton with an excellent team but did not win a trophy (unless you count a 4th place for a cup) and disappointed in getting his big chance at Manchester United, then also in his Spanish adventure in Real Sociedad and took Sunderland to Championship with a team that at times closely resembled Saturday`s West Ham -frightened individuals without a heart of battle.
Moyes never managed to inspire black cats, and his negative statements were often masked as a painful realism. I will lie if I say that the players we bring will make a big difference -;he said in the last January transfer window. -;Probably we will not be able to get players of the right level. It was no surprise that the results via video football goals then did not improve.
Players of the hammers as individuals are better than their colleagues in that Sunderland, but without added effort it does not matter. The loss that took Slaven Bilic out of the post was marked by indolence -;not only in the many mistakes but also in the general lack of character. Players did not work hard enough, they did not show anxiety about their situation or that of their doomed manager.
TV analysts -;Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Steve McManaman -;they were disgusted, but the West Ham smokers in the previous 16 months were hardly surprised by the sight. Even the team was now less bad than Liverpool at the end of last season.
This set of players has great luck. For over a year he has been hiding behind the excuse by moving to a new stadium. Only the stadium does not run at least a few miles or does the least sprint from any other Premier League team. The patience of a fan?
