West Ham 0-2 Crystal Palace

A CHANGE of manager it seems has made little difference to West Ham, as this lamentable defeat at home to Crystal Palace at the London Stadium proved.

Lethargic and lacking ideas from the kick off, West Ham did not muster one meaningful shot in the whole game.

On the few occasions when West Ham were in an attacking position, they immediately turned back, playing the ball meaninglessly across the pitch. Who said David Moyes style of football was boring?
