West Ham manager David Moyes calls out his team’s defending in heavy defeat to Arsenal

Despite traditionally priding themselves on solid defensive work, West Ham failed to display their usual resilience, particularly in the second half of the match. 

Moyes highlighted individual errors that led to goals and conceded that the team did not do enough to prevent Arsenal from scoring. "I don't think my teams defend that way ever", he said during his post-match-presser as reported by Sky Sports.

This marked a rare admission from Moyes, who noted that it was unusual for his team to concede goals in the manner they did during this game​​.

The defeat, which was West Ham’s heaviest home defeat in the club's history, prompted a significant number of West Ham fans to leave the London Stadium early, showing their frustration with the team's performance. 

This reaction from the fans was a clear indication of their disappointment and concern for the direction in which the team was heading. Arsenal dominated the match, scoring four first-half goals to leave the Hammers disappointed.
