David Moyes encourages senior stars like Gabriel Jesus, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland to get more Premier League goals this season than West Ham.

West Ham United’s inability to find the back of the net is causing real problems this season.

A 1-0 defeat against Everton means that David Moyes’ side will go into the international break in the relegation zone after picking up just one win so far this season.

Worse is the fact the Hammers only have three attempts to land the ball.

While the likes of Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen were among the Premier League’s most dangerous attacking players in recent years, the goals have certainly dried up in east London.

Actually, the drought has made it so severe that eight top flight stars have scored more goals than West Ham combined.

With West HamMany will blame the club’s failure to regain their form last season for bringing in several new players this summer.

But according to Moyes, it’s his senior stars who need to step.

Talk to talkSPORT, he said: “We came into the game knowing that we needed a win.

“We had a good win in Europe midweek and hoped that we could back it up but in terms of technical ability in the first half, we made so many mistakes and that made it difficult to punish Everton at different times.

“We’re introducing new players and that can be difficult as well when trying to find the right balance and what way they know how we play, but I’ve got to say, our players who have been here need to perform as well.

“I’ll always take the responsibility for that and I will today as well as I do in every game.

“The players have got to show a little bit more. We’ve seen how good these players are at West Ham and the qualities that they possess but if we’re being honest, we’re probably not seeing those heights being hit so far.”
