David Moyes is banking on Declan Rice to plug the leaks in West Ham’s defence and lead their push for Europe. And when pressed on why West Ham’s previously excellent defensive record has been blemished of late, Moyes had a simple answer. He played in the game where we drew 3-3 against Arsenal so you could take that away, but he is incredibly important. “If we could get the supporters back with European football a possibility, it would be great for the supporters to be back in. But nothing would give me bigger pleasure than to tell the West Ham supporters: ‘Let’s get ready, we’re going around Europe’.”
