DAVID MOYES SAYS WEST HAM HAVE ‘LOST BELIEF AND CONVICTION’ AFTER CHELSEA LOSS DAMAGES TOP-FIVE HOPES

West Ham were accused of being let down under David Moyes after an “embarrassing” and “disgraceful” performance against Chelsea
The Irons were 3-0 down at half-time with goals from Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke causing an early defeat
The situation did not improve two minutes after kick-off, when Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson stepped up to make Moyes miserable, then scored again late on to seal a resounding 5-0 victory
West Ham are in talks to replace Moyes at the end of this season, although there is no confirmation he will leave the position when his contract expires in June
Former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui are currently the favourites, with Mirror Football understanding that a deal is close to being agreed
Moyes’ four-and-a-half-year tenure will end in misery if Irons’ poor performance at Stamford Bridge is anything to go by, with Sky Sports pundits Jamie O’Hara and Clinton Morrison criticizing the players

Former Premier League striker Morrison said: “West Ham are on the beach
“The way they’re playing right now is embarrassing, they’re not challenging enough or something, it seems like they’ve just given up on stuff… We have to keep going until the end of the season
It’s not like that Chelsea have been great
” Former Tottenham midfielder O’Hara went on to say: “It’s a shame, what they’re doing is shocking

” “The way they’re playing right now is embarrassing, they’re not doing enough challenges or something, it looks like they just dropped some tools
We need to keep giving to the end of the season
Chelsea isn’t great
West Ham played very badly
” Former Tottenham midfielder O’Hara went on to say: “It’s truly a shame, what they created was shocking
There are West Ham fans traveling to see this game, a big game, a big football club game, a London derby
They’re going around
” Since then, West Ham technical director Tim Steidten has not been allowed into the first team dressing room for the remainder of the season as he draws up succession plans
Moyes insists there was no change but there was a crisis, adding: “We don’t want any distractions, we keep our eye on the ball “Tim has his job He has to do it, I have my work to do
We have three matches to play and we want to focus on those
We’re just going about our business
My job is to win games and I will do everything I can to do that
