Ian Wright and Danny Murphy don't think West Ham United should sack David Moyes.
The Hammers are currently in the midst of a relegation battle and were soundly beaten 4-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion, leaving them one point off safety heading into Sunday's fixtures.
Under Moyes, West Ham enjoyed back to back seasons of qualifying for European competition via league finishes and even reached the UEFA Europa League semi-final last year.

This season however has not gone to plan and during the loss at the Amex Stadium, West Ham fans were chanting for Moyes to be sacked.
On Match of the Day, presenter Gary Lineker made the observation that: “West Ham fans were singing ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’. How quickly things change in football.”
Pundit Danny Murphy then leapt to the defence of the former Manchester United and Everton boss, saying: “I don’t think he should be. I know they’re disappointed but they’re in a fight.”
Wright, who spent time in east London with the Hammers as a player and was sitting alongside Murphy, added: “I saw them the other day against Manchester United and I was very surprised with that result seeing how they played the other day. Hopefully, they get it right.”
football.london understands that Moyes retains the backing of the West Ham board.
