David Moyes SLAMS poor quality of West Ham's pitch after draw with Crystal Palace, describing surface as 'below Premier League standards' as Hammers' good start to season hits a snag

David Moyes slammed the state of the West Ham pitch, labelling it below Premier League standard, as his side were held at home by Crystal Palace.

Sportsmail revealed on Saturday that the Hammers were looking for two more members to add to head groundsman Dougie Robertson’s team to improve their sub-standard surface.

And Moyes said: ‘I've not enjoyed the quality of the pitch at all, and I've known about it. Even the first game I wasn't happy about it.
