David Moyes believes Jarrod Bowen should be back in the England squad this week after his fifth goal of the season helped sink Sheffield United 2-0.<\/p>\n
Gareth Southgate names his next squad on Thursday ahead of a friendly against Australia and the Euro 2024 qualifier with Italy.<\/p>\n
Bowen, who earned four caps last year, was overlooked for the September internationals but Moyes feels his current form makes him hard to ignore.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say Jarrod is as close now as he has ever been,\u201d said Moyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s in really good form, quick, sharp and looks like he can do a lot of things.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to pick the England team, but to play for England you have to be able to score in big games. Jarrod\u2019s doing great for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bowen grabbed his goal after 24 minutes, timing his run into the box to perfection and burying Vladimir Coufal\u2019s low cross.<\/p>\n
Tomas Soucek added the second after he was slipped in by Michail Antonio as West Ham all but sewed up a comfortable victory before half-time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI liked what I saw in the first half. The first goal was brilliantly worked. There were lots of good things, but not so much in the second half,\u201d added Moyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted us to score more goals but a lot of credit has to go to Sheffield United and their manager after a tough week and a big defeat. But ultimately we got the goals and the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s three points in the Premier League and when you look at some of the results today, it shows you can\u2019t just turn up and get three points.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Blades did at least improve on their 8-0 defeat at home by Newcastle six days earlier, not that they could have been any worse.<\/p>\n
Their boss, Paul Heckingbottom, maintains they can still pick up enough points to stay up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see. I believe it,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you look at our games we\u2019ve not lost because other teams are far better, we\u2019ve lost because of key moments. There\u2019s evidence there that we can get the points.<\/p>\n

\u201cResults like last week happen. There\u2019s been some surprising ones today. What I didn\u2019t like was the nature of some of the things I saw, I was adamant it was a one-off and I don\u2019t want to see again.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one\u2019s going to feel sorry for us. We have to fight for those points.\u201d<\/p>\n
