The Gunners have scored four times in the first half at the London Stadium

West Ham fans on social media have called for the club to sack David Moyes as they went 4-0 down to Arsenal on Sunday.

The Hammers had gone into the game hoping to beat the Gunners for the third time this season.


Yet Arsenal were unplayable as they scored four times without reply before half time.

William Saliba headed the north London giants in front from a Declan Rice corner, with Bukayo Saka then doubling Arsenal's lead from the penalty spot.

And further goals from Gabriel and Leandro Trossard saw West Ham fans inside the ground head to the exits.

It was a chastening start to the match for Moyes' men, who are winless in the Premier League in 2024 so far.

And fans on social media have now called on West Ham to axe the Scot amid their ongoing issues.

"Sack Moyes," were the simple words of one user.

"If Moyes doesn’t get the sack now …..it’s been a long time coming," raged a second.

A third vented their fury by saying: "I hope for the sake of football that West Ham sack David Moyes.

"Setting your side up to defend in the modern game and with the players they have is poor to begin with, but to concede 4 goals so easily is embarrassing!"

A fourth fumed: "Moyes needs the sack right after the game."

A fifth raged: Sack David Moyes at half time and give this team to [Vincent] Kompany. He will do wonders with this team."

And a sixth said: "Moyes might as well sack himself at half time."

Michael Brown, commentating for the BBC, believes West Ham's implosion won't help Moyes' job security.

"It's a London derby, it's pride going into work tomorrow," he said.

"David Moyes will be wondering how to make this better, he's almost got a tear in his eye.

"There's so much debate about Moyes' position at the moment and the style of play and this will not help the situation."

If West Ham were to sack Moyes, there are several options they could go for.

Graham Potter is the favourite to take over, with the Englishman still out of work following his sacking from Chelsea last year.

Xabi Alonso is another candidate but it's hard to see the Spaniard leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the current moment in time.

Alonso, it's worth noting, is also the favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Will Still has worked wonders over in France, while former West Ham star Michael Carrick has impressed at Middlesbrough.

The Hammers have, however, repeatedly insisted Moyes' job is safe.
