West Ham started and ended their Carabao Cup run in Wolverhampton against Wolves. From the off Potters side looked the better team and had a few chances to take the lead but unfortunately couldn’t.

The lack of action in the midfield already was becoming apparent before the 30th minute, and in the 42nd, Guido Rodriguez would give away a lousy penalty and despite Wolves initially missing the penalty, the rebound would go in after poor marking and an attempt at a save, 1-0 coming into the break.

Wolves: Johnstone, Gomes, Bueno, Agbadou, Mosquera, Bueno, Andre, Bellegarde, Lopez, Arias, Hwang
West Ham: Areola, Walker-Peters, Todibo, Mavropanos, Aguerd, Diouf, Rodriguez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Paqueta, Bowen (C)
Subs: Hermansen, Kilman, Wilson, Potts, Fullkrug, Scarles, Irving, Marshall, Orford

After West Ham's dreadful showing on Friday night, it caused the sports world to erupt with criticism from Hammers fans to pundits to players and even generic football fans.

Fans gathered on radio stations and talk shows to discuss the abysmal performance that we had just seen, and a wide ranging amount of criticism was made. Fans blaming the manager, pundits blaming the plays, but most admirably were Rob Green and Jamie Redknapp, who not only gave spot-on analysis, but criticised the owners and exclaimed how there are so many issues on the pitch and even more off the pitch.
