David Moyes accused of having a ‘strange dislike’ for West Ham star

Dan Lawless has criticized David Moyes for his comments about West Ham’s Algerian star Said Benrahma, stating that the manager has a “strange dislike” for the player.

The winger has 15 goals and 15 assists in 98 games and has time and again shown glimpses of his quality, but has failed to get a consistent run of games under David Moyes.

And now the manager has come under fire for his very strange comments about the player. During his pre-match press conference earlier this week, Moyes said (via Hammers.news):

“Said’s English, for the amount of time he’s been here, hasn’t been very good. But I have to say, Nayef [Aguerd] – brilliant English; gianluca [Scamacca] – brilliant English; Emerson [Palmieri] – fantastic English; Curiously, [Lucas] Paquetá cannot speak it, but I think he understands it”.

West Ham Fan TV’s Lawless responded to these unusual comments on Twitter by accusing Moyes of not liking the player. He tweeted:

“No one can tell me that Moyes doesn’t have a strange dislike for Benrahma.” He can applaud the new additions without putting Said down. Anyone who has tried to learn another language understands how difficult it is.”

It has been reported that Moyes wanted to sign Eberechi Eze from QPR, but signed for Crystal Palace instead. West Ham signed Said Benrahma around the same time, so the Algerian may not have been Moyes’ main target.

Moyes’ comments may suggest a lack of desire to learn the language, but anyone who has tried to learn a new language understands how difficult it is, and the Scottish manager knows this from his brief stint in Spain. Having said that, it seems that Benrahma will have to work harder to improve his English if he wants to impress his manager.
