David Moyes West Ham United sack prediction shared by Jamie O’Hara and Jason Cundy live on talkSPORT
Pundits Jamie O’Hara and Jason Cundy agree that David Moyes will not be in charge of West Ham next season, with O’Hara urging the Hammers to stick with their manager for the remainder of the current campaign.
Moyes has been under pressure in the dugout in recent months, with that pressure intensifying after Newcastle thrashed West Ham 5-1 on Wednesday (5 April).
But former Premier League midfielder O’Hara believes the Scot is still the right man to help save the club from relegation this season.
“I think right now West Ham need to stay with David Moyes because he will win the games that you need to win,” O’Hara said live on talkSPORT. “The Evertons, the Southamptons, those games they win.
“Next season, maybe look at doing something else because they have spent a lot of money and they haven’t kicked on.”
Cundy interjected: “I can’t see him being there next season,” to which O’Hara replied: “I can’t either, but now, no way, don’t get rid of David Moyes.”
Blown away
All associated with West Ham knew they were facing a huge test when they welcomed Newcastle to the London Stadium, with the Magpies chasing a Champions League spot under talented manager Eddie Howe.
But the home side barely put up a fight as they were blown away by Newcastle’s attackers in a ruthless display in East London.
Newcastle have been extremely firm at the back this season, as have the Hammers, but it was the hosts who turned on the charm on the night, scoring five times and only conceding once.
On a miserable evening for Moyes and his players, the home supporters made their feelings clear, jeering and booing at the final whistle, with the noise heard despite most of the stadium being empty.
The results means the Hammers are 15th in the Premier League table, with their short trip to Fulham on Saturday (8 April) now surely a must-win as they look to distance themselves from the bottom three.
