Most of members here on this forum hate this International break because its hurts not players its hurts us also very badly now again we have to check all who is going to injured and who is giving back good job very bad they need to reduce this as third in few months very upset with this but now have to wait for more ten days 

My team (Liverpool) always get players injured on international duty, it seems like every single time. Really annoys me.

during his career being the manager of EPL teams i think Moyes achievement only good when he was the manager of Everton and basically he has failed at Manchester United and Sunderland so although Slaven Bilic failure to lifted West Ham performance but Moyes not guarantee to makes West Ham better and Moyes have to work hard to avoid West Ham went to relegated zone

I'm just like you who hate the international break. I think this event is very damaging to the team game that is in the performance and good momentum, with this event actually the performance of some teams have decreased even they suffered losses because there must be injured players while defending his country including the players who competed in the Premier League. In the midst of a very solid schedule, they must defend the country and this makes the managers who have to anticipate if this loss must occur at any time.

That has not been the case for either Everton or Crystal Palace this season, although they have won some games, we can agree that the overall performance of the team hasn't changed by much. I doubt there is any thing good Moyes can offer the team.

I agree. After the break, not all teams play as good as before the break. Anyway, I'm sure we'll have just a terrific match. The teams have something to prove to each other.

Anybody else hate the international break as much as me? As soon as we get a run of games the crappy international break comes again. It’s only November & it’s the 3rd international break of the season, ridiculous.

Yup me too.  A club that replaces its manager usually gets rejuvinated in the next two or three matches.  But playing Watford and away?  I doubt they'll win even if they tried hard enough.  But we'll see...  It's the international break this weekend and that makes some league matches unpredictable the week after.

Looking forward to the first game of Westham, under the guidance of a new coach. It will be interesting to see whether he was able, in a short time to fix something?

lets hope it will bring a good move for westham

With Moyes, the WestHam will be saved safely.
The West Ham has great players (Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Ayew, Kouyate, Lanzini, Arnautovic, Chicarito) and with a good coach like Moyes, I'm sure this year will be saved and next year will be in the top 10 places.

Allardyce will almost certainly be the new coach of Everton, and as his second there will be Shakespeare (just fired from Leicester).
Even Everton with this Coach will easily save.

true he may had good seasons with the toffees but it took him time to build a team that can be in the rank of 10 best in England but with West Ham situation it isn't the greatest thing to do Moyes is not a man who can work under pressure and the pressure from relegation and angry fans at start of his campaign wouldn't help also Surely the Board of Hammers club could have gotten a more suitable man for the job then Moyes and it is gonna be interesting couple first week for him I'm sure if he failed against Watford fans will start protesting against him from day one and from the first 6 league games if he managed to get more then one win That would have been a good day for him.

Manchester City have built team already compared to Manchester United and that's the reason why they are going to win the league, I think Jose Mourinho and his team are going to have to settle for second place and even that is being optimistic at the moment, but am sure when Ibrahimovic and Pogba are back in the squad they were start functioning properly once again.

When he was at Everton he built his own team and he did it for more than five years his long stay at Everton immensely contributed to his success over there and one cannot deny that he move to Manchester United was too big for him especially when you are going to replace someone like Sir Alex Ferguson, damn even Jose Mourinho is finding it very hard to do that and he is one of the best managers of the decade.

i favore seeing Moyes back at Everton they have been struggling the most this season and with the 11 seasons he spent with them would make him as number 1 candidate as he is experinced with most of the players and club. and for West Ham i would prefer to see Alan Padrew . and i think what was the thing that accelerated the sack more then the obvious defeats is that Bilic refeused to get Renato Sanches from Bayern and Grzegorz Krychowiak  from PSG he went to West Brom on loan and Sanches to Swensea and that didn't make fans happy and now he is gone but we should expect from the Hammers to announce the  name of the new manager in the upcoming days

Moyes is a solid coach, but I suppose there is some truth to accusations that he is a fighting manager built for a fighting club. I think he drew as much energy from Everton as they did from him - just look at the products of his golden boys... Lescott (who's now into crypto by the way!), Rooney, Cahill, Jagielka, Pienaar, even Fellaini (heh heh). Fighting underdogs, great strength, seldom silky, often brawling.

Now you put him into teams that are used to winning easy, used to seeing opponents roll over (cough, Utd) then he gets lost. He is a guy with an instinct to survive, not, unfortunately, be champions. So yeah, West Ham, sadly need his calibre now. Everton need to move on from Moyes so they can be the second Merseyside team to fight for trophies.

Having a career that is not good but not bad also when in Everton, practically his career smoothly when at Everton. But all changed after he moved to Manchester United. His career moved to Spain and then returned to England but his career getting worse. Now West Ham gambled by firing Bilic and replacing him with David Moyes. Will it be better, or worse?

I deeply regret this time that manchester united has lost many points in several games. Now the gap between manchester united with manchester city is 8 points. This is quite a lot when the new game runs at the beginning of the season. Maybe in the future manchester united should be better in taking advantage of opportunities, I was also quite surprised by what can be achieved by manchester city. now this Gap point between all teams is still arguably has a chance so every big team to date still have the opportunity to be champion at the end of the season. We are still waiting for the various surprises that happened this season and I still predict that the duo manchester is the strongest candidate this season.

So, David Moyes is the new West Ham manager, and i believe this is an "ok" choice, although I don't know why a mid table Premier League team wouldn't want to appoint someone with a better reputation? certainly money isn't the issue. I've read Everyone seems to forget whay he did in Everton, he took a mediocre team and made it a competitive squad for more than 10 years in a row.

I now the guy has a terrible reputation and for good reasons (Man, United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland) and I understand why West Ham fans might feel sceptical but I wouldn't write him off yet. He won't have the same pressure he suffered in Manchester United, and I believe West Ham squad is better than Sunderland's when he was the manager there. I think if the fans give him some time to adapt and leeway to build his side then I think David Moyes will probably defy expectations.

Next few games will be interesting: away vs Crystal Palace, home vs Atalanta, away vs Southhampton.

Sunderland was on its way down, Moyes or no Moyes.  I actually think he's a good long term choice for Westham if they intend to become a consistent midtable club like what he did for Everton.

It's better than staying with Bilic, that's for sure.

very bad news for West Ham fans after West Ham Board announcing that David Moyes has joined the team to succeeded Slaven Bilic as the new manager. all i can think is this is a disaster and i now favore them to hit rock bottom now because there is good signs from palace to make recovery while Everton is Everton any time they could make a good comeback so West Ham will be the one to sit at bottom of table with Moyes , he may have been rrelegated only once in 13 seasons in EPL but he is ready to go down again after Sunderland , they should have gone with relegation saver specialist Sam Allardyce also he have been a West Ham manager between 2011/2015
