Careful what you wish for. A lot of debate as to whether or not Moyes has been good for West Ham. Entirely fair that supporters would like to see an improvement over Moyes, but can they get one? Lopetegui isn’t that.
You clearly have not been watching West Ham. He was saved by winning the UECL, which let’s be honest is a two-bit competition where West Ham beat up on a bunch of Romanians and Belgians, and where West Ham's budget dwarfed their competition up until the final. They were fighting relegation all year last season.
This season, they've played awful, insipid football despite a nice patch to start the season where they were playing well above where the play metrics had them placed. They've won two games in the calendar year 2024, have given up the most goals outside the bottom three, and have been pasted recently giving up six to Arsenal at home, five to Crystal Palace, and another five against Chelsea. It's not getting better, it's getting worse.
Usually the "careful what you wish for" finger waggers are reserved for the old British boys club that wants to stick up for all the dinosaurs that stick around. They were saying the same ridiculousness when Palace got rid of Hodgson and now Glasner has them playing some good stuff.
Loepetegui is absolutely an improvement over Moyes - it's not even a question. The work now becomes transforming a roster that Moyes filled with a bunch of mismatched, old pieces that don't work. It won't happen right away.
And I'm not belittling what Moyes has done. He saved the team from relegation (twice) and ultimately stabilized the club during a turbulent time. All the same, the road has clearly ended. The football has progressively deteriorated and there are exactly zero signs that the situation is improving.
Can only hope West Ham and their weird, entitled, permanently seething fans go back to their natural level of bobbing around the bottom of the table like a turd that won't flush.
Hey, you just described Scotland NT supporters! Though to be fair, maybe replace "entitled" with "boorish"? And with even worse teeth.
