# West Ham fans confused by Moyes’ remarks about Fornals

David Moyes’ latest comments about Pablo Fornals have left many of the club’s fans pretty confused.

The Spaniard was [named in the starting line-up](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1233754030595301376) for the 3-1 Premier League [victory](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51595061) over Southampton at the London Stadium last Saturday.

Fornals provided[two assists](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51595061) during the victory and has [been praised](https://twitter.com/westhamtransfer/status/1233804395621625857) by many supporters for his display.

However, despite acknowledging his assists, [Moyes believes](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/david-moyes-press-conference-live-17838858) that his display could have been even better if he made some better passes at certain times in the match.

The manager’s verdict has confused many fans because [they feel](https://twitter.com/connoisseur_bol/status/1234194392132521984)that after his display, he should be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

The playmaker hasn’t been the given the most opportunities by Moyes since he took over, with many of his appearances under him coming from the bench ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pablo-fornals/leistungsdaten/spieler/357885))

Fornals linked up particularly well with Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Sebastien Haller during the win and these fans [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/whufc_news/status/1234066794572320768) feel that Moyes’ remarks come across as negative.
