West Ham players get the blame for poor form.

Manuel Pellegrini manager

Former England international Peter Shilton has hit out at West Ham’s start to the season and put the blame on the players.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini has come under pressure after their poor efforts after the opening four games.

West Ham sit at the bottom of the Premier League with no points so far.

Shilton believes it is the players who are at fault, and pinpoints the problem on a lack of work rate.

While Shilton lays blame with the players, Pellegrini must share the blame too for not foreseeing the issues in pre-season and addressing them.

West Ham’s only win this season came in a hard fought game against AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.

The Hammers have not been helped by a tough run of fixtures and they do not get easier after the international break, when they face Everton, West Ham, and Manchester United.
