David Moyes
David Moyes marked a significant milestone on Saturday, celebrating his 63rd birthday and managing his 750th Premier League match. However, the occasion was marred by West Ham’s 2-1 defeat to Everton, with Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time goal spoiling the party. The match saw Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen, both key players brought in by Moyes, play pivotal roles. Despite Soucek’s early goal and defensive efforts, Everton’s late equalizer by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall set the stage for Wilson’s decisive strike.
Nuno Espirito Santo said: “I agree. I think David left a legacy here at the club and brought success and trophies. Jarrod is the skipper and the leader at the club. You just have to see how he works and gives his all – today he got two assists, fantastic. We are being consistent in our set-pieces. We have Tomas, we have Tinos (Kostantinos Mavropanos) who has been fantastic for us on set-pieces.”
Nuno Espirito Santo said: “I did not see the image, but I was scared!”
Nuno Espirito Santo said: “Nobody is making it easy. It’s going to be a big fight – until the end – but the good thing is that we don’t give up. Especially here at the London Stadium, it’s a huge factor in the Premier League, we know how important it is and we’ve been really good and the fans have been fantastic for us with the noise, the energy that they give for the boys. We have still got two games to go here at home. If you look back, even in the FA Cup, this moment in the end, it didn’t end up well, but the boys believed and the energy of the fans has been fantastic. It’s starting to feel good, I think the boys appreciate it, to play at home.”
Nuno Espirito Santo said: “You can see that today. Even when you concede and it’s a big blow, the next move is to go forward and to try and get a goal and this is character and makes us proud. We are not aware of what’s happening in the other stadium. But the first move was to run: ‘Let’s go forward,’ and it’s huge for us. I’ve always said, as long as we give, the fans will give back. The energy is good and the atmosphere is good.”
Despite the setback, Nuno expressed satisfaction with the team’s resilience and the support from West Ham’s fans. The manager highlighted the importance of the London Stadium’s atmosphere, emphasizing its role in the team’s performance. With two home games remaining, Nuno remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, underscoring the fans’ energy as a crucial factor in their campaign. The match against Everton demonstrated both the challenges and the potential for West Ham as they navigate the remainder of the season.
