Hammers crash again – it HAS to be goodbye Pellegrini
Irons 1 Arsenal 3
This was the worst Arsenal team to appear at our gaff for many years but once they saw a team that could be taken by a bit of quick thinking and movement it was over.
It’s beginning to reach that stage – if it hasn’t already – where you really don’t want to watch because this is a team with nothing to offer under a manager who – let’s be honest – who is now clueless to know what to do about it.
What makes it so hard to take is that we took the lead against a team who for 45 minutes were worse than us before folding completely to three goals inside 10 minutes and then sleepwalking our way to the end of a game we should have won with ease.
With fans emptying the stadium by the minute West Ham’s board surely know this has to be the end of Pellegrini – he really does have to go. There is simply no other answer.
Declan Rice came out with credit but if things go on as they are doing he will be gone and if – as is beginning to seem more and more likely – we go down the London Stadium will become a white elephant, half full, if that.
Along the way you can see the departure of Anderson, Haller, Yarmolenko and a few others.
The West Ham board have no appetite to pay Pellegrini off but to be honest it was obvious several weeks ago it had to happen – now it’s an absolute MUST!
