No clue, no plan and Irons white flag up way before the end

West Ham 1 Leicester City 2

By Hugh Southon

West Ham hoisted the white flag  long before the end – indeed seemingly before the start when Pellegrini chose to make seven changes and left our best defender Angelo Ogbonna out of the squad altogether.

With Fabianski back in goal,  hope remained of some sort of revival and when he conceded a penalty early which he saved, you thought just maybe it might be our day against a Foxes side to which Brendan Rodgers had made nine changes.

Fabianski – conceded and saved a penalty

Issa Diop was recalled to partner Balbuena and made a stumbling entry in which he was caught in possession – a start which followed him through the game.

Gray scored, Fornals equalised with a fine low shot from a nice Anderson assist before the Foxes clinched it via the man Gray again.

After that the Hammers seemed to throw in the towel under a manager who sat on the sidelines looking clueless and near to tears.

An example of his inflexibility and stereotyped thinking came when after leaving Antonio understandably on the bench given his recent injury and the number of games we are having to play, Haller was in the one up role, before he switched the pair, then saw us go behind and immediately threw on Ajeti on a late two up bid to save the game.

Hopeless, clueless thinking from a man who has to go – he simply has to go – none of us can take anymore of this. It’s a cruel way to treat the paying customers.

There are no more words to be said. This is as poor a West Ham United team as you will ever see simply because they have no fight and no plan – at times I simply gave up trying to work out what they were trying to do.

And that is all down to a manager who tonight really should be on his way. I don’t care who takes over – David Moyes, Chris Hughton, Kermit, Mickey Mouse – anyone.

Just go Pellegrini and take Husillos with you because it’s crystal clear these guys don’t wanna play for you.

David Gold…David Sullivan – do the right thing. You know it makes sense.
