West Ham United manager David Moyes admits he is ‘determined and desperate’ to get the Hammers back on track following a run of five straight league defeats.
The Irons suffered a fifth straight Premier League loss for the first time since April 2017 on Friday where Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva goals earned Brentford a 2-0 win at the London Stadium.
The result leaves West Ham 17th and a point clear of the relegation zone, knowing that results this weekend could see the Hammers start the New Year in the bottom three.

Speaking on the pressure on himself, Moyes believes that it is not unfair for him to be under pressure, but remains focussed on attempting to get West Ham back up the table.
“I don’t think it’s unfair, because I think the business we are in means that normally when you go five games where you’ve not won, you can always be under pressure,” said Moyes.
“I totally get that. But you feel bad when you lose one, never mind two, never mind five. “Obviously, that is football, I understand that totally. I only want the best for West Ham because it’s been a great club for me and the club’s done well and we’ve sort of taken it into a little bit better of a place than I think it was before so I’m determined and sort of desperate to keep it there.
“I don’t want it to go back down and get dragged back down, so I’m hoping that we can get ourselves away from where we are.”
