West Ham boss David Moyes accepts his job is under increased scrutiny after defeat to Brentford.

Moyes has led a turnaround in the club's fortunes since taking the job for a second time late in 2019, with back-to-back top-seven finishes and a run to the Europa League semi-finals last season.

However, the Irons' form has dropped off a cliff this term despite a summer spending spree of around £170million.

Asked whether scrutiny over his position was unfair, given the results of recent seasons, Moyes said: “I don't think it's unfair because the business we're in means that if you go five games when you've not won then you could always be under pressure, I totally get that.

“You feel bad when you lose one, when you lose two, never mind five. That is football.

“I understand that totally. I only want the best for West Ham because it's been a great club for me, the club's done well. We've taken it into a better place than it was before so I'm desperate and determined to keep it there. I don't want it to go back down and get dragged back down."
