West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has questioned David Moyes' tactical formation as they head into an absolutely crucial game against Nottingham Forest this weekend.
The Hammers lost 2-0 to Tottenham on Sunday, meaning they have won just one of their last 11 Premier League games. That run of form leaves them inside the relegation zone, two points off bottom side Southampton.
David Moyes is coming under increased pressure as speculation swirls about his future in the dugout. The Scottish manager is reportedly secure in his job even if they lose to the Reds on Saturday.

West Ham barely troubled Spurs at the weekend, taking just six shots in the entire game. Speaking after the game, Rice suggested that Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen were "a bit isolated" due to the team's 5-3-2 formation.
He said: “When you play with five at the back and the three, like we set up today, maybe our strikers felt a bit isolated when we got the ball up to them — they didn’t really have enough around them, not enough support.”
Defeat to Forest could see West Ham drop to the foot of the table depending on other results, which would plunge the London outfit further into crisis. The last thing they need right now is doubts over the manager's tactics from their own players.
