Supporters of West Ham United have been responding to quotes from David Moyes which were posted to social media by the Hammers.
On Saturday, the Irons posted a link to an interview with the Scottish manager and also relayed some of his quotes in the tweet itself (per West Ham).
In the quotes which were tweeted, Moyes expressed that he was ‘delighted with the way the players have responded’ to the sessions after returning to training.
The link shared in the tweet led to the rest of the interview on the East London club’s website (per West Ham), and in it, the 57-year-old gaffer discussed their return to training further.
Following a vote by Premier League shareholders last Wednesday, it was decided that top-flight players would be resuming contact training.
It was stated that the unanimous vote was another step towards the league restarting – and a day later, the Premier League’s return was revealed to be pencilled in for 17th June.
After the Hammers’ Scottish manager discussed how the Irons were performing in preparation for the return of top-flight fixtures, fans aired their responses in response to what Moyes had to say.
"I have been delighted with the way the players have responded to the work we have set them, both during the lockdown and since they have been able to return to Rush Green."

The Hammers currently sit 16th in the Premier League table; they remain outside of the relegation zone on goal difference alone with nine matches left to play.
Good to hear. I like #Moyes . He may not set the world alight, but he cares. More so than any other manager I’ve seen here in the last 20 years…

Will David Moyes ever be successful while being West Ham's manager?No, he's not good enoughYes, he just needs time |
Since Moyes was reappointed by the London Stadium outfit, he has overseen a weak points-per-game ratio of just 0.92 across 12 outings; the second-worst ratio of his managerial career (per Transfermarkt).
Of those 12 matches, three have been won, two have been drawn and seven have been lost (per Transfermarkt), which did not fill some fans with confidence.
Training is one thing we need to see it in games ????

As can be seen in these responses from West Ham fans, while some have belief in the former Manchester United manager, others are much more sceptical.
