West Ham United may have managed to restore some respectability to the scoreline against Newcastle United with two late goals, but that wasn’t enough to appease the supporters.
Seeing their team go 3-0 down against the Magpies caused plenty of frustration, with Robert Snodgrass seemingly among the contingent demanding more, having scored the goal that made it 3-2.
Speaking to the Hammers’ official channels, he described the showing as “a performance that isn’t West Ham-like” and stated that the team must improve:
The sentiment was appreciated by some due to the performance he put in, getting a WhoScored rating of 7.9, the highest of any West Ham player.
However, many fans are tired of hearing the same old comments after games, with someone often coming out after another game without victory, of which there has now been six in a row, to echo similarly generic and empty sentiments.
Rather than being told that the team will start doing better, many fans are demanding that they actually show improvement on the pitch.
A selection of Twitter reaction to the statement, including posts from frustrated West Ham fans, can be seen below:
