David Moyes and Kurt Zouma didn’t quite see eye to eye after Fulham beat West Ham United yesterday.
Fulham embarrassed Kurt Zouma and his West Ham teammates yesterday afternoon and ended up beating David Moyes’ side 5-0.
Zouma, 29, has had excellent performances for the Hammers since leaving Chelsea for the London Stadium in 2021, but as things stand there is no rush to extend his contract current, which expires in 2025.
Despite the Frenchman’s solid and incredibly consistent performances for West Ham over the last two years, he was really poor against Fulham yesterday and Moyes leveled it midway through the second half.
Speaking after the match, Moyes said the busy schedule and tired players had cost his side dearly against the Cottagers. However, after yesterday’s 5-0 victory, Zouma sang to a different tune.
Kurt Zouma disagrees with David MoyesThe Hammers captain faced the media after our embarrassing Premier League defeat to Fulham in west London.
And Zouma responded when asked if the players’ efforts against Tottenham in midweek had anything to do with the lethargic performance against Fulham, as cited by WHUFC.com:”I don’t know.
Maybe, but we are professionals and we are used to playing on Thursday and Sunday, even if it is physically difficult, especially after the match against Tottenham, which was very difficult, but today “Today there was nothing for us, like I said.
It was a very, very bad day and I’m sorry for the fans who came. There’s nothing to say. We just have to go home, rest, recover and prepare for the next game.”This is how I want to hear my captain speak.
No excuses – it was truly a horror show in west London yesterday afternoon. The players were not up to par for some reason and it will be crucial for them to return now against Freiburg and Wolves on Thursday and Sunday.
The West Ham players’ performance against Fulham yesterday was completely unacceptable, but I prefer Kurt Zouma’s post-match reaction to the defeat over David Moyes’.
