Fans slam West Ham coach for not starting Kudus in 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa

Mohammed Kudus started the match from the bench as Aston Villa ran riot over the Londoners on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

Douglas Luiz opened the scoring and converted a penalty just after halftime.

A deflected shot by Jarrod Bowen caused a nervy spell for the hosts, but England striker Ollie Watkins later fired in his eighth goal of the season for Villa.

Substitute Leon Bailey scored late in the match to secure an 11th consecutive league victory at home for Villa.

After the match, fans took to social media to express their frustration with Moyes' decision to leave Kudus on the bench.

They questioned why Kudus who impressed and fetched the equalizer in the game against Newcastle was left out of the starting lineup again.

Paqueta wants to leave West ham and now he is play rubbish. David Moyes is not a real coach because the is no why you will play Soucek in the number 10 role ???? and leave Kudus on the bench.

Stubborn coach! Play KUDUS from the start! Takes time coming off bench to warm up.

— BlakNinjaMan (@KevinY3K) October 22, 2023

Seen the same at Ajax. Kudus needs to get the confidence from the coach to play full matches.

One of the worse decisions any coach can make is to bench a play maker by putting a slow and lazy striker who contributes nothing in over 45 minutes. What is stopping this coach from starting mo kudus?
