Former West Ham captain Nigel Reo-Coker must wear yesterday's 6-0 home thrashing by Arsenal.

Reo-Coker insists fans would be wrong to blame manager David Moyes.

He told BBC Sport: "West Ham fans always think the grass is greener. You've got to let him [David Moyes] ride it out, it was a bad day at the office, for sure.

"I don't think there is too much blame you can give to David Moyes as a manager because, for me, the players all across the pitch just did not compete with Arsenal.

"That's not taking anything away from Arsenal because they were sensational all the way from minute one to 90 plus.

"Even when they were 4-0 ahead, Arsenal continued to show character and desire to keep a clean sheet.

"It's more worrying in the manner of how West Ham lost, without competing, no tackling, having players around the ball but no one putting a tackle in.

"Some times you have to take it away from the manager and say this one is on the players."
