David Moyes admitted he does not have as many options in his squad as he would like after West Ham squeezed past Watford on Tuesday night.
David Moyes said: “We’ve got options. Maybe not as many as I’d like. But at the moment we’re trying to get [Nikola] Vlasic more time and I want him to get more opportunities. But I just felt the games have been tight and I just didn’t see in those games the right moments to give him that chance again. We want to introduce him and we’re trying to get one or two of the other players more playing time, but tonight it was a case of trying to get the job done, get the three points, and get through the 90 minutes.”
Moyes brought on Manuel Lanzini for Said Benrahma in a move that turned the game in the Hammers’ favour. Lanzini helped West Ham have more control of possession and provided a line-splitting pass to Bowen in the lead-up to the game’s only goal. Moyes was delighted with Lanzini’s performance and praised the Argeintian after the match.
David Moye said: “We got better as the game went on and Lanzini made a difference when he came on. Even for the goal, it was one of the first passes to pass through the lines, and Jarrod turned and gave himself a chance in a shooting position.”
