Bayer Leverkusen's 2-0 victory over West Ham in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.
Last night's defeat highlights the ongoing issues at West Ham, a situation exacerbated by incomplete work during the January transfer window. While David Moyes bears some responsibility, particularly for his reluctance to utilize substitutes and academy players, the director of football also faces scrutiny for not exerting enough influence to secure necessary deals.
Selling players like Benrahma and Fornals raised eyebrows, but the decision not to use Maxwel Cornet, a £17 million acquisition, is particularly glaring. Moyes appears to lack trust in his bench, a stark contrast to Xabi Alonso, whose reserves include potential game-changers. This difference in bench strength and trust could be what sets the teams apart.
