After the West Ham team’s loss to Chelsea by a score of 5-0 on Sunday, Glenn Hoddle criticized Emerson Palmieri, who plays defense for the club.
At halftime, Chelsea had a 3-0 lead thanks to goals scored by Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, and Noni Madueke. However, Nicolas Jackson scored twice in the second half to ensure that Chelsea would emerge victorious.
In an interview for Premier League Productions, Hoddle made the observation that West Ham did not appear to be concerned.
It seems as like they are a team that only wants to play when they have possession of the ball, as if obtaining possession of the ball is the most straightforward aspect of the game.
As soon as Chelsea wins possession, there is no closing down, no one shouting to pick up on the penalty spot, those crucial areas; there is no consistency to their game,” said the coach.
“At the end of the day, you have to show a little more than that,” the coach said. “This is especially true when considering the number of goals that you have allowed in the first half.”
Defoe made the following statement: “I believe that performance does not reflect West Ham as a football club as a whole.”
“I mentioned that the manager, “Moyes,” is a defensive-minded coach; you would like to believe that if you are a defensive-minded coach, you don’t give up a lot of goals,” I said.
