‘Shocking’, ‘Anonymous’ – Some West Ham fans react to 24-yr-old’s display against Liverpool
West Ham United were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool at home in the Premier League earlier today. Despite being in impressive form coming into this game, David Moyes’ side struggled to cope with Liverpool’s quality and efficiency.

The West Ham fans were disappointed with some of the performances, with Pablo Fornals amongst the players they criticised. Fornals was underwhelming for the Hammers and was replaced in the second half for Andriy Yarmolenko. The midfielder was wasteful with the ball at his feet and failed to provide...
