West Ham United fans were brilliant during the draw with the Foxes.
Jermaine Jenas, speaking on BBC’s Football Focus program on Saturday, November 25, criticised West Ham United’s performance in Friday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester City, but raved about the “absolutely sensational” home support which drove Irons.
David Moyes picked up his first point as West Ham boss as Cheikhou Kouyate’s first-half header cancelled out Marc Albrighton’s early strike at the London Stadium.
Despite a partisan support, Moyes’s players couldn’t find motivation from the constant noise coming from the stands and the Foxes left the capital with a deserved point.
West Ham fans were brilliant and the occasion marked quite a difference to the last home game, which was something of a hostile atmosphere as supporters directed their frustrations toward then-manager Slaven Bilic and the club’s board during the 4-1 defeat by Liverpool.
And the former Tottenham midfielder says he can’t speak highly enough about their support on Friday.
Jenas told BBC’s Football Focus: “From a quality perspective I didn’t think it was there.
“The fans were absolutely sensational, they were the group of people that actually got the game going.
“But the quality was still hugely lacking in the game.”
