West Ham United were beaten 4-0 by Everton last night, with Marko Arnautovic failing to impress again.
Arnautovic was started on the right for West Ham at Goodison Park last night, but he failed to get particularly involved in the contest.
The Austrian wide-man struggled to make an impact as West Ham lost 4-0 to Everton.
And Hargreaves feels that part of the reason why Arnautovic is struggling at West Ham is because he is being played out of position.
The former England international said: “He should be playing on the left, especially when you’ve got your second choice left-back [Arthur Masuaku] on the left.
“You’ve paid £25 million for him, play him in his best position.”
Arnautovic has taken on board a great deal of criticism from West Ham fans since his summer move from Stoke City.
The powerful winger is yet to show his top form since switching to the London Stadium, and West Ham need him to show his best sooner rather than later.
West Ham’s defeat to Everton has left them sitting in 18th place in the Premier League table, and they are in danger of being cut adrift.
The Hammers’ next three matches come against Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea.
