It’s hard to not sound like a broken record with the recent results but today was the definition of lacklustre and lame.

The performance was an embarrassment, the tactical decisions were appalling, and this is a low that many fans didn’t even anticipate us reaching. A starting defence of a back four we knew wouldn’t work, and the midfield gets worse each week.

West Ham:
Areola; Coufal, Kilman, Todibo, Emerson; Ward-Prowse, Soler, Paqueta; Bowen, Fullkrug, Kudus.
Subs: Cresswell, Fabiański, Ferguson, Irving, Guilherme, Mavropanos, Rodríguez, Scarles, Souček.

Southampton:
Ramsdale; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens; Walker-Peters, Fernandes, Ugochukwu, Downes, Manning; Sulemana, Onuachu.
Subs: Archer, Aribo, Bree, Dibling, McCarthy, Welington, Smallbone, Stewart, Wood-Gordon.

It’ll come as no shock to Hammers fans that it’s yet another window where the club has to sign a marquee striker, Uncle Ingy’s dreamland contract is coming to a close, Micky is set to sign a new deal but isn’t reliable enough and Fulkrug is unable to play for more than 45 minutes!
