Jimmy Walker criticizes David Moyes’ strategies and claims that Jarrod Bowen, a quality striker for West Ham, is being wasted.
Jimmy Walker has attacked David Moyes’ strategies, claiming that Jarrod Bowen, a striker for West Ham, is underutilized.
Fans of West Ham were not only bored to tears during the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, but they were also bored to jeers.
More than 60,000 spectators filled the London Stadium in spite of the bad weather and ongoing rail disruptions.
And many showed David Moyes how much they appreciate entertainment by jeering the Hammers off during the halftime break.

However, not just West Ham fans get tired of what they watch.
The cult hero from One Hammers was also not holding back on social media.
Jimmy Walker has criticized Moyes’ strategies and claimed that Jarrod Bowen, a star striker for West Ham, is underutilized.
Walker criticized West Ham’s plodding play on X by using some colorful language.
Additionally, he found it perplexing that Moyes continued to start Bowen up front despite the fact that he is among the top performers in the Premier League off the right.
Cult hero says Bowen wasted as striker
“It’s an easy victory if you raise it and move the ball 10% faster.
“You do the math: Bowen is a player who can play anywhere, but he’s a shadow of the guy down the middle and one of the best on the right.”
Walker’s analysis will resonate with West Ham supporters who endured yet another very boring game.
Moving ahead, there are no obvious patterns of play. Right now, it appears that the strategy is to “give it to Mohammed Kudus or Lucas Paqueta and hope for the best.”
Additionally, when they have the small Bowen up front, West Ham is starting to develop the annoying tendency of going long.
The West Ham supporters’ criticism of Moyes’ substitutions—or lack thereof—is also worthy of discussion.
When West Ham visits fierce rivals Spurs in the middle of the week, things will need to drastically improve.
