# Pundit praises impact of West Ham’s Mark Noble after big Bournemouth win

Former Premier League striker Noel Whelan has revealed he thinks that West Ham’s players need to follow the example set by captain Mark Noble after the Hammers secured a big win over Bournemouth.

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/i-love-that-exclusive-pundit-head-over-heels-for-west-ham-star-putting-teammates-to-shame/), Whelan revealed that he believes that Noble has shown the correct passion and dedication during what has been a difficult spell for the Hammers.

David Moyes secured a big win in his first game of his second spell in charge of the Hammers, with Mark Noble scoring twice to help West Ham to a 4-0 drubbing of the Cherries.

Whelan said:

> You could see the rage on Noble’s face after one of the games (v Palace), having a go – that’s the fight and spirit that you need now.
>
> We know the English players have got it, that’s never in question, the heart and the desire and that anger at losing football matches. Is it going to do that for the foreign players? We need to see more of that.
>
> I love that reaction from Mark Noble, I love it, it shows everything that West Ham stand for – that fight, desire and passion. Now they need a lot more of the players that are there on big money to show that attitude as well.
>
> I can’t wait to see the second part of the season because I’m pretty sure David Moyes won’t stand for any of that. He’ll be putting them right on the back seat and playing people that he can trust.

### Read West Ham’s verdict

Noble’s performance was a particular highlight in the win, with West Ham seemingly finally clicking after stagnating under Manuel Pellegrini.

David Moyes may not be the answer long term, but he has certainly shown he can get West Ham winning again.

Noble will be a big part of Moyes’ plans by the looks of it.
