Rice departure key to Hammers’ struggles – Moyespublished at 11:57am
Chelsea 5-0 West Ham
West Ham United
David Moyes was asked in a post-match news conference why West Ham have suffered several heavy away defeats this season, and replied: “Declan Rice.
“When you get the best midfield player in the country, protecting [and] limiting 50% maybe of the attacks.
“When you get that, it makes you a much better defensive team. We’ve lacked protection in front of the back four.”
The Hammers sold the England midfielder, 25, to Arsenal last summer for £100m plus £5m in add-ons.
