The West Ham United goalkeeper had his worst game for the club so far.
Lukasz Fabianski is clearly a massive, massive player for West Ham United.
The Poland goalkeeper has missed West Ham’s last four games through a hip injury and his replacement, Roberto, might be getting progressively worse.
The Spaniard, who signed on a Bosman after being released by Espanyol this past summer, had a stinker in this afternoon’s 3-2 defeat by Newcastle United in East London.
Ciaran Clark nodded the Magpies into a 1-0 lead and then Federico Fernandez doubled it before the break.
It was the second goal where the West Ham man was majorly culpable, with the former Malaga stopper in no man’s land as the Newcastle centre-back headed home.
Roberto showed horrific judgement and here’s how Irons fans reacted on Twitter:
Fabianski was ruled out for three months at the start of October, so he might not seen in a West Ham shirt again until early in the new year.
But one thing is for certain – Pellegrini can’t possibly continue with Roberto. David Martin is also an option for the Chilean manager and sooner or later, the former Millwall player might be called upon.
