Instead, they have regressed and now find themselves in almost the exact same quandary as the one presented two years ago &#8211; only this time things are worse. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At this stage during Moyes\u2019 first rescue mission, West Ham were 12th in the Premier League table and four points clear of the drop zone; now they are 18th, deep in the relegation mire, and face Manchester City and Liverpool in their next two matches.\u00a0Add to the fact that West Ham let slip a two-goal advantage in their proverbial six-pointer against relegation rivals Brighton over the weekend and the immediate forecast looks rather bleak to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite that epic capitulation on Saturday, Moyes made some very interesting tactical tweaks;\u00a0and one in particular that caught the eye was a throwback to his Everton days. So could this new rejig perhaps work wonders to reinvigorate a beleaguered squad and help keep West Ham afloat?<\/p>\n<h2><b>An Everton blueprint<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The name Moyes became almost synonymous with Everton as the two joined forces for over a decade, before the Glaswegian ended his Goodison Park marriage to embark on a new adventure as Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s successor at Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>As we now know, Moyes\u2019 hopes were not exactly met at the Theatre of Dreams and, since his acrimonious departure from Old Trafford, his career has nose-dived, culminating in Sunderland\u2019s relegation from the Premier League in 2017.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, football as we know, is a fickle sport. So, for all the black marks to have appeared on his CV in recent times, we must remember that Moyes forged an impeccable reputation during his stint as Everton manager, making a name for himself as a meticulous and reactive tactician.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1128794 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191542\/PA-15881912.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3786\" height=\"2538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191542\/PA-15881912.jpg 3786w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191542\/PA-15881912-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191542\/PA-15881912-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191542\/PA-15881912-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191542\/PA-15881912-66x44.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3786px) 100vw, 3786px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the main facets of his blueprint at Everton was rather unorthodox, but certainly effective. He preferred\u00a0an aerially-dominant, or imposing No. 10 rather than the elegant playmakers we have come to idolise. At Everton he had Tim Cahill, and later Marouane Fellaini, with the latter following him to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>His setup at Everton was often hinged on deploying a more nimble and athletic striker through the middle, dragging defenders across the turf and out of position, so that his No. 10 could dart into the box with more freedom, create havoc and provide a goalscoring threat.<\/p>\n<p>For West Ham, the match on Saturday illustrated Moyes\u2019 Everton approach in microcosm: attacking full-backs in Ryan Fredericks and Aaron Cresswell, looking to recreate the sort of overloads best exemplified by Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines; inverted wingers in Robert Snodgrass and Michail Antonio (akin to <span>Steven Pienaar and\u00a0Kevin Mirallas)<\/span>; no-nonsense central midfielders screening the backline in Mark Noble and Declan Rice (a la Leon Osman and <span>Phil Neville)<\/span>; but most fundamentally, 6 ft 4 in Tomas Soucek in the No. 10 role &#8211; no prizes for guessing who he was aiming to replicate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1128795 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191755\/PA-50016198.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3620\" height=\"2461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191755\/PA-50016198.jpg 3620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191755\/PA-50016198-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191755\/PA-50016198-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191755\/PA-50016198-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191755\/PA-50016198-66x45.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3620px) 100vw, 3620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nominally a defensive midfielder, Soucek &#8211; signed from Slavia Prague last month &#8211; made his debut for West Ham in an unconventional attacking role. The initial decision from Moyes looked an odd one on paper, but then again, Soucek has drawn similarities with Fellaini, and once that connection was made, everyone at the London Stadium realised what was happening against Brighton.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>West Ham fans thought they were signing a player capable of revitalising their cumbersome midfield; instead it looks as though they have just acquired their very own version of Fellaini &#8211; and against the Seagulls his inclusion nearly paid dividends.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Soucek performed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It was a bold decision for Moyes to start Soucek from the off over the weekend. The 24-year-old hasn\u2019t featured since December and has had little time to acclimatise to the demands of English football. Yet, he looked threatening in the first 45 minutes, and seemed to cause a myriad of problems when the ball was launched forward in almost rudimentary fashion, with Sebastien Haller handed some much-needed support in the final third.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, Soucek drifted off in the second half &#8211; which is understandable given his lack of minutes in recent weeks &#8211; and he eventually came off as Brighton mounted a superb comeback, but the early signs are promising for those of a West Ham persuasion.<\/p>\n<p>There will naturally be some deep-rooted doubts from a section of fans who may believe this is the first step towards a return to the \u2018dark days\u2019 before Manuel Pellegrini\u2019s progressive and expansive football. In that sense it should be noted here that during Moyes\u2019 time in charge of Everton between 2002 and 2013, no Premier League side managed more headed shots than the Toffees (998).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1128796 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191847\/PA-6728772.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1779\" height=\"1479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191847\/PA-6728772.jpg 1779w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191847\/PA-6728772-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191847\/PA-6728772-768x638.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191847\/PA-6728772-1024x851.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/03191847\/PA-6728772-66x55.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1779px) 100vw, 1779px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, West Ham have only scored one headed goal this season &#8211; the joint-least of any club &#8211; while Liverpool (13) have scored the most, and Jurgen Klopp\u2019s brand of football can hardly be considered antiquated.
