West Ham manager Moyes: We must now stick together

West Ham United manager David Moyes admits his team must go back to basics.

The Hammers were battered 6-0 at home by Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

Having endured their heaviest home defeat in many years, Moyes spoke about the players' need to stay together.

He stated to club media: “It's all about 'we' now.

“It's not about the players and not about the manager. It's how we all get together and I've said that to the players.

“How we respond now is really going to be big and probably the levels we need to show we're going to have to show, we're going to have to show a bigger level of fight and commitment.

“Over my time here at West Ham, whether it be this period or the one before, I really can't remember too many of my teams performing as badly defensively and if we have done in the past maybe we maybe didn't quite the same level of defenders or maybe not the same level of players.

“We've got international players and just about all the slots, but I thought we were we weak in our defending, as we were at Manchester United last week as well."
