David Moyes lost his opening game as West Ham United manager 2-0 to Watford.
Michail Antonio sat out of West Ham United’s 2-0 defeat to Watford on Sunday because of injury, but it seems as though the winger did not like what he saw from David Moyes’ first game in charge.
The 27-year-old’s verified Twitter account shows him to have liked a post showing a Daily Star article headlined ‘What A Shambles’, in relation to the Hammers’ disappointing performance at Vicarage Road.
Antonio has since unliked the post, but this screenshot proves his protest didn’t go unnoticed.
The response to Moyes’ appointment by West Ham supporters was underwhelming and it seems that Antonio is equally unconvinced of the Scotsman’s ability to lead them away from relegation trouble.
Antonio was voted Hammer of the Year last term and his form will be crucial to West Ham’s fortunes for the remainder of the season, but it appears as though Moyes has some work to do to get him on side.
The trip to Watford was the former Everton and Manchester United manager’s 500th game as a Premier League boss. On the basis of the performance, he is unlikely to bring up his next milestone at West Ham.
Moyes’ has a second chance at a first impression when West Ham host Leicester City on Friday.
