West Ham downgraded by Sky Sports pundit

Writing his half term reports for Sky Sports, Alan McInally has suggested West Ham have been the most disappointing Premier League team this season considering their pre-season expectations.

He says: “I’ve given West Ham an ‘E’ and that’s the worst I’m going to give any team. Disappointed. Dimitri Payet is fantastic but hasn’t done it yet. They’ve struggled as a team, struggled with injuries, Slaven Bilic is probably banging his head at the moment. They had a wonderful result against Chelsea in the EFL Cup, but I thought this would be a season for West Ham – after last year – that they’d really cause problems. They haven’t. It’s not been good. The stadium continues to be a weight around their neck and it’s been a poor start.”
