Football fans can be a fickle bunch, none more so than those of West Ham United. As disgruntled fans left the London Stadium following the 3-2 defeat by Newcastle United, there were calls for under fire manager Manuel Pellegrini to be replaced as his side suffered a loss that meant they have only earned two out of a possible fifteen points in the Barclays Premier League, whilst also losing 4-0 to lower league Oxford in the League Cup during the same period.

West Ham: Roberto, Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Cresswell, Noble, Rice, Yarmolenko, Snodgrass, Anderson, Haller. Subs: Martin, Lanzini, Sanchez, Fornals, Ogbonna, Fredericks, Ajeti.
Newcastle: Dubravka, Lascelles, Fernandez, Clark, Yedlin, Shelvey, Hayden, Willems, Saint-Maximin, Almiron, Joelinton. Subs: Darlow, Dummett, Carroll, Gayle, Krafth, Atsu, Longstaff.

Many Hammers fans will be hoping this Saturday's match at the London Stadium will not be a 'ground hog day', the home team's performance during last weekend's match against Sheffield United wasn't exactly insipid, with the exception of Robert Snodgrass and Felipe Anderson, it just lacked urgency. Fans were quick to voice their displeasure at the end of the game, citing one or two glaring issues that need attention.
