West Ham Super Fans react to David Moyes’ comments on Mark Noble
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Ham United Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around the London Stadium. You can join in the discussion on our West Ham Zone Facebook page.
West Ham Super Fans have flocked to a post on the West Ham Zone Facebook page about Mark Noble and David Moyes.
The Scotsman decided to send the club captain on to take the last-minute penalty awarded to the Irons against Manchester United on Sunday.
However, his spot-kick was saved by David de Gea, and Moyes defended his decision in his post-match interview, which has drawn a mixed response from these Super Fans [Telegraph].
Moyes has got very little wrong since he has returned to the London Stadium and had Noble smashed his penalty into the net, he would have been hailed as a genius.
However, it backfired, and unfortunately, it now looks like a silly decision.
Personally, we don’t feel as if Moyes should have brought Noble on, and he should have handed the penalty to Declan Rice or Andriy Yarmolenko.
Clearly, our Super Fans are divided, with some defending Moyes and others believing it was the wrong decision.
However, the worst thing about all of it was that the Irons most definitely deserved to take something from the game, and that penalty should have been the moment when they grabbed their deserved point.
Unfortunately, though, it wasn’t to be, and they must now prepare to face the Red Devils again in midweek.
In other West Ham news, Tony Cottee has been impressed by one key figure at the club.
