The Scot looked to have won over any remaining doubters with West Ham’s excellent start to the Premier League season.

Moyes kept West Ham up twice in his two spells and has the east Londoners kicking on this season.

Moyes tactics under scrutiny after dismal displays

His tactics and team selection of late, though, have cos West Ham.

The Hammers have struggled in their last three games, failing to beat Crystal Palace – who have since conceded 10 goals without reply in two games – at home, losing 3-0 at Chelsea and then drawing 2-2 with Brighton at the London Stadium.

Much of the blame has been put firmly at the door of Moyes.

Many West Ham fans have criticised his decision to start captain Mark Noble in the last two games.

And his refusal to give Said Benrahma a chance is infuriating supporters.

Negative tactics and team selection have West Ham fans raising doubts

Noble was woeful against Brighton and was substituted at half-time.

But it was West Ham’s setup against the likes of Palace, a Chelsea side that was there for the taking and a Brighton team that had won once in 13 games that has sparked major doubts over Moyes’s long-term future at the club.

After their best start to a season for five years all the talk was about when and not if Moyes would be handed a new long-term deal by co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold.

With his 18-month contract up in the summer many expected Moyes to be retained longer term to continue his West Ham rebuild.

But now some West Ham fans are voicing concerns that Moyes is not the man to take the club forward after his negative tactics of recent games.
