West Ham United manager David Moyes came out swinging to defend his performance.
The Hammers won the Europa Conference League last season, besting Fiorentina in the final.
However, Moyes has been facing pressure over the past 12 months, given their mediocre Premier League displays.
Avoiding relegation, I remember that," Moyes stated as he nears four years in charge.
I remember a lot of the games in those periods, to the point where we're now talking about quarter-finals of cups, semi-finals of cups, winning a cup, trying to challenge to be in Europe through your league position, made it to Europe through your league position twice.
I don't know how, genuinely, it gets an awful lot better without us getting absolute trillions from somewhere else where we can buy success.
I don't see where it's getting much better."
