Surely the performance level won’t get any lower than yesterday. We all feel bruised and beaten up after the trouncing delivered by Arsenal. This must be the nadir for West Ham United fans, because we bought into the false hope from the result but more specifically the manner in which West Ham beat Newcastle just five days before.
It seemed there was a fighting spirit and cohesiveness in the team. Wrong. The first 30 minutes against Arsenal blew that optimism out o the water, reminding me of the phrase “it is the hope that kills”.
However – the team and head coach need to pick themselves up quickly because there’s another ‘must win’ match – the latest in a series of ‘must-win’ matches coming round in less than 3 days time.
