West Ham boss David Moyes calls for more from Pablo Fornals
David Moyes has singled out West Ham attacker Pablo Fornals as a player he needs more from amid a poor run of form.
The Spaniard has eight goal involvements in the Premier League so far this season for the Hammers but has only managed one assist in his last 16 appearances in all competitions.
Moyes urged all of his attacking players to ‘chip in’ with goals as the Irons push for Champions League football, especially Fornals.
“I’ve got to say I think Pablo is starting to show signs of improving slightly.” The Scot said as per Football.London.
“He made the goal at Kidderminster with a pass for Declan Rice, I thought the other night he was more influential in bits of the game, especially later on,
“I think Pablo has had a bit of a dip from when he came back in November from the international break.
“I just hope that he is just starting to show small signs of improvements, but in terms of goals yes [we need more], it is a big thing, and we need all of our attacking players to chip in and it would if Pablo could come up with a few goals for us.”
Comeback time
Fornals form will return there is no doubt about it. He absolutely loves West Ham which is evident every time he puts on the famous claret & blue.
He has struggled in recent months with international duty and covid seemingly disrupting his rhythm which has made it very difficult to continue the form the winger showed earlier in the season and so often for the Hammers.
He has been afforded a little lull in form though with Jarrod Bowen taking the weight of the West Ham attack solely on his shoulders and doing a rather good job of it.
Moyes knows his players more than anyone else but publicly calling out a player is risky and has often backfired for managers.
However, Fornals doesn’t seem like the type of player to go under due to some constructive criticism. He will be filled with determination to get back to his best after these comments and if he makes a dramatic comeback, Moyes could look like a genius.
