West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen shares David Moyes ‘just noise’ verdict live on BBC
West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen believes his manager David Moyes does not get enough credit in the London Stadium dugout.
The boss has led the East London club to impressive league finishes in recent years, as well as lifting the Europa Conference League trophy last season.
And the Hammers are now sitting second in the Premier League table, with two wins and a draw from their first three matches.
“What he’s done for this club I don’t think any other manager would come close to,” Bowen told 5 Live Sport (28 August).
“When I joined, they were in a relegation battle. He kept the club up, then we had two seasons of finishing sixth and seventh, getting to a Europa League semi-final, going all the way and winning the Conference League.
“What he has done for the club probably doesn’t get enough credit. But that’s just noise. The players respect the manager, respect his ways.”
Superb job
As Bowen pointed out, Moyes has had plenty of success during his time at the London Stadium. But still the manager is seemingly constantly under criticism, and perhaps has come close to losing his job on several occasions.
But West Ham have stuck by the Scot, and they should be so glad that they have, having enjoyed fine Premier League finishes as well as an unforgettable European trophy.
On top of that, they are now flying high in the league, with the Hammers unbeaten in the early stages of the new season.
Moreover, they are among the league’s top scorers, with Bowen among the goals, with the winger scoring in the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth and the 3-1 win at Brighton.
The England attacker has been key to Moyes’ success at the London Stadium, and now looks certain to continue being one of the main men in claret and blue.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers have held talks for a new striker, with a loan or permanent deal possible.
