West Ham were truly awful against Fulham at Craven Cottage this afternoon, despite David Moyes getting the vital win that he needed.
David Moyes took his West Ham team to west London to take on Fulham knowing that a defeat could spell the end of his time in charge at the London Stadium.

The football on display from the Hammers during the first-half was some of the worst I have witnessed as a West Ham fan since the Avram Grant era.
My word, that was painful today. Yes we won the match. But is that utter garbage that was served up today really what the West Ham fans have to accept for the foreseeable future?
That’s not football in my eyes. The team selection and tactics were both evidence of Moyes’s true cowardice. By playing two up top you would think that Moyes was actually being adventurous, but no. It was 10 men behind the ball and about as rigid as a block of cement.
That was quite simply not acceptable today…
David Moyes fools nobody with dire setup for West Ham against Fulham
22% possession inside the first-half and 24% by the time the full-time whistle went – not good enough, especially considering the quality of players that Moyes has at his disposal.
Moyes is a cowardly manager in my opinion. The reason that we give up so much possession is that the Scot is so insistent on setting up his team in an incredibly rigid formation, rather than have any of his players moving around and interchanging positions in a fluid manner.
The East London outfit earned a vital three points today, but it’s clear as day that we aren’t going anywhere with the 59-year-old in charge.
The Scot has a wonderfully talented group of players at his disposal at the London Stadium but he is wasting them with his archaic, cowardly tactics.
Im delighted that we won the game today. However, all it means it that we’re in for more of this dire football for quite some time yet.
I’m struggling to remember a Premier League side that gave up possession as much as we did today. In fact I’m sure that there hasn’t been one.
David Moyes must know that he’s hanging on by a thread in his role as West Ham manager. The win today will keep him in a job for a little while longer, but he fooled nobody.
