'No respect' - West Ham fans fume at David Moyes after defeat to Olympiacos

West Ham fans were appalled by David Moyes’ team selection for the Europa League game against Olympiacos.

Football Insider has been gathering the reaction of unhappy Hammers fans who couldn’t believe the starting XI that Moyes chose against, arguably, the strongest opponents in the group.

The Irons fell to their first European defeat since May 2022 on Thursday night (26 October) after a 2-1 defeat at the Georgios Karaiskakis.

The Hammers are still top of their Europa League group but are joint on points with FC Freiburg.

Moyes made seven changes to the side that beat Freiburg 2-1 earlier this month and fans were not happy with the starting XI on Thursday.

One fan suggested the loss was what the side deserved after Moyes’ team selection.

Another couldn’t believe Moyes’ team selection, particularly his inclusion of players who have had limited game time and are lacking match fitness.

Another insisted Moyes made the wrong team selection and suggested several players who featured last night may not be in the team for much longer.

Another claimed Moyes’ options on the bench are not good enough to be in the starting lineup.

One supporter felt sorry for his fellow fans who travelled all the way to Greece just to watch the Hammers’ “B team”.

One fan claimed Moyes “didn’t respect” their opposition and is worried about their upcoming game against Everton after the performance last night.

Another supporter is hopeful Hammers will never have to witness the same starting XI again.

Another insisted the Irons could not have expected a result with the team Moyes put out.
