David Moyes has explained how there will be no 'pussyfooting' or 'pampering' on his watch as West Ham's new manager told his players to expect a no-nonsense approach.
The Scot is now having his chance to get to know the squad after the last of those who were away on international duty returned to Rush Green on Friday.
Ahead of his first game against Watford on Sunday, Moyes said: 'I've just not got any time for any nonsense. I'm not going to be pampering to any needs.

'I can't be bothered. If anybody says they can't get back from international duty, well don't think you will be coming in and playing Saturday. It's that sort of thing.
'It can't happen any longer. You do the work, you do the training, you do the running back, you do the running forward, you do that then you have got a chance of getting selected. 'I am certainly not pussyfooting around with them.'
Moyes also fired a warning Marko Arnautovic's way. The club's £24million record signing has come in for criticism this season and Moyes continued: 'I can only go on what people have told me and they didn't think he has come up to the standard he set at Stoke City.
'I watched him a lot at Stoke. I thought he looked like the sort of player you would never be keen to play against.
'But he also has to be a team player. The clips I have seen at times, he has not looked a team player. He would not be the only one I would say that about.'
