West Ham fans have taken to Twitter after the club posted a tweet about Saïd Benrahma, and they’ve got one demand for David Moyes.

The Hammers fans are seemingly desperate for the exciting Algeria international to start more games, after a stop-start time in east London so far.

Since his move from Brentford, the 25-year-old has started just ten Premier League games, while also making ten appearances from the bench.

Benrahma brings flair, creativity and skills to West Ham’s side – the No.9 has the ability to unlock a defence in the blink of an eye.

However, there is one reason as to why Moyes might not be starting him every week.

The Scot recently expressed concerns over the Algerian’s finishing ability, and told his flamboyant forward that he has ‘got to stop’ firing his shots over the crossbar.

The Evening Standard quote Moyes as saying: “First of all he has got to stop hitting them over the bar. He’s got to start getting them under the crossbar. 

“He has just got to stay steady, he has been taking on shots which aren’t at the right moment or time to do so, I think he just needs to calm down a bit and let it come to him rather than going and looking for it so much.”

You can’t argue with that, as Benrahma is still searching for his first Premier League goal.

In his 20 Premier League appearances so far, he has just four assists to show for his efforts in claret and blue.

However, he’s an exciting player who gets people off their seats, so it’s no wonder that the West Ham fans want him to start more often.

Let’s see what they’ve been saying in response to the club’s tweet…
