Stan Collymore has given his take on West Ham United on Twitter.

The former Aston Villa and Liverpool striker believes that there is “too much big talk” at West Ham.

Collymore has said that the Hammers need to give more attention to detail, but he does not expect David Moyes’s side to get relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.

Relegation worries

West Ham are among the clubs in the race to avoid the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.

The Hammers are 17th in the Premier League table at the moment with 27 points from 30 matches, level on points with third-from-bottom Bournemouth.

Ambition

West Ham are an ambitious club who have made some good signings in recent years, such as Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson, but things simply have not worked out.

While Moyes does have a very good team on paper, especially in attack, performances and results on the pitch have been hugely disappointing.

In the summer, West Ham will have to have make a decision on how they are going to move forward as a club.
