West Ham United were beaten 5-1 by Arsenal at the London Stadium yesterday.
Chris Sutton has told Match of the Day, which was broadcast on BBC One on 3rd December, that West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic’s comments, where he questioned the intensity of his side, are very concerning.
West Ham slipped to a 5-1 defeat against Arsenal in front of their own fans yesterday, and their performance was hugely disappointing.
The Hammers looked bereft of confidence throughout the encounter, and Arsenal made them pay.
The Gunners took the lead early on through Mesut Ozil, and they never relinquished their grip on the game.
A hat-trick from Alexis Sanchez, and a fine long-range strike from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain provided Arsenal with a comfortable three points.
And Sutton found West Ham boss, Bilic’s, comments after the match worrying.
“It’s alarm bells, when your manager is questioning your commitment and intensity,” Sutton said. “They are all over the place defensively and Payet hasn’t turned up this season.”
West Ham are now just one point above the relegation zone, and they have slipped down in to 17th place in the Premier League table.
The Hammers are next in action against high flying Liverpool at Anfield, with the pressure mounting on them to stop their poor run of form.
