Disaster for Moyes as West Ham dealt yet another hammer blow ahead of Bayer Leverkusen second-leg.

A real body punch has been inflicted on West Ham United ahead of their Europa League second-leg matchup with Bayer Leverkusen.

The opening leg of the Europa League quarterfinals between Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham took place today, with the second leg scheduled to take place at the London Stadium the following week.

Tonight, David Moyes made his intentions quite apparent. For much of the game, the Scot gave the Bundesliga team possession of the ball.

That was not surprising at all. What surprised me, though, was how strong our defense was that evening.

Then there were players like Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Paqueta, and Michail Antonio who were giving Leverkusen a lot of trouble at the counter.

The level of organisation and strength we shown at the back against the Germans really pleased me. All in all, it was a highly polished performance.

Although Moyes has faced criticism from certain West Ham supporters this season, he executed his game plan well tonight.

Nevertheless, we suffered a severe hit throughout the match.

Before the second match against Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham delivered a crushing blow.
told in told, the Hammers’ performance at BayArena that evening was excellent. We made things incredibly difficult for Leverkusen, who has been unstoppable in the Bundesliga this season.

But, we received one really unfortunate piece of news that evening.
