The Guardian's Jacob Steinberg speaks for a lot of fans when he asks, "What exactly does David Moyes say to his players at half-time?" Steinberg points out that after the second-half collapse at Brentford West Ham have "conceded seven goals during the first 20 minutes of the second half this season" and that this feels like a structural fault. The exception was against Arsenal, when the side started the second half strongly for once. If Moyes is telling the players to hold on to what they have then they aren't doing it very well and his caution is counter-productive. Could it be a fitness issue? Or a problem with the collective mindset with the players unable to sustain impetus after the break? Whatever the problem Moyes has to solve it or he will once more be under pressure at West Ham.
