David Moyes honestly admits Graham Potter is doing one thing much better than he did at West Ham

David Moyes praised West Ham and Tomas Soucek in particular after the game.

It would have been lovely to leave Goodison Park with all three points, but Graham Potter had to make do with the draw in the end.

David Moyes got a fantastic reception from the travelling Hammers fans on Saturday, and rightly so.

The Scot did an exceptional job on the whole for West Ham. However, it was the right time for him to move on in the summer.

David Moyes says Graham Potter is doing one thing much better at West Ham

Despite the 61-year-old’s success at the London Stadium, his last six months in charge of the Hammers was truly dismal.

During Moyes’s final season at West Ham, West Ham conceded 74 Premier League goals.

Only three clubs let in more goals – the three teams that got relegated.

And Moyes told reporters how Potter now has the Hammers much more defensively sound, as quoted by Everton’s official website:

“Graham Potter has been talking a lot about how they’re trying to stop conceding goals. They were much stronger, much harder to play against today – not much room to run behind them.“

It’s refreshing to hear such honesty from Moyes.

However, how do the two managers’ records stack up against each other?

David Moyes vs Graham Potter

Potter has now taken charge of 10 West Ham games.

But how has he fared in comparison to Moyes’s first 10 games at the helm during his second spell at the club?

For context, Potter has been in charge for some really difficult games.

He’s already faced Aston Villa away (twice), Chelsea away, Arsenal away and Everton away.

Moyes faced a much easier run during his first 10 games in charge of the Hammers.

Overall, there are definitely positives to take from Graham Potter’s first couple of months in charge of West Ham.

David Moyes’s frank admission after the game on Saturday proves that the Hammers are at least more defensively sound now.
