Moyes caught in a Catch-22 as he's forced into unfamiliar Euro territory
Evening Standard
|December 14, 2023
EYEBROWS might have been raised when David Moyes handed his West Ham players two days off at the start of this week.
WEST HAM v SC FREIBURG (8pm, TNT)
It was hardly the orthodox response to a 5-0 pasting, particularly not coming from a manager considered to be among the last of the old school. Then again, having laid the blame for his side's embarrassment at the door of a hectic schedule and the fatigue it has inspired, he could hardly have had his players in running laps of Rush Green.
Any respite, though, has not lasted long, with the Hammers back in action tonight and Moyes facing a Catch-22 of sorts.
Already safely through to the knockout stages of the Europa League, the West Ham boss might under different circumstances have been tempted to give his main men the evening off as Freiburg visit London Stadium.
