He maintains there was’very little between them’ two years ago, but concedes it ‘hasn’t quite worked’ since…..
David Moyes urged Kalvin Phillips to get back to Declan Rice’s level as the two England midfielders meet at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Phillips, on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season, has struggled in his two West Ham appearances so far, after arriving with minimal first-team minutes under his belt.
Rice, who left for Arsenal in a club-record £105million move last summer, made his first return to his former club in a 3-1 League Cup defeat in November, and gave away a penalty in the Hammers’ 2-0 Premier League win at the Emirates in December.
‘Two years ago I thought there was very little between them,’ Moyes said. ‘Kalvin played very well at the last Euros for England. In truth, Declan has kicked on. Kalvin went to make all the right moves and it hasn’t quite worked for him.
David Moyes vowed to give Kalvin Phillips time to get back to his best after a difficult start to his spell at West Ham after joining on loan from Manchester City until the end of the season
