West Ham United were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool at the London Stadium yesterday.
West Ham were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool at the London Stadium, and their showing over the first 45 minutes of the contest was nothing short of woeful.
West Ham simply gave away two goals during the first half, with Liverpool not even having to get out of first gear.
The Hammers’ players looked lethargic and apathetic, as Liverpool cruised into a lead.
And McManaman admitted that he was seriously concerned by what he saw in the first half of the contest.
“That first half really disturbed me. That was really worrying,” he said.
West Ham did improve markedly in the second half, but their defensive inefficiencies were still on display.
The Hammers were carved upon time and time again by a rampant Liverpool side.
The heavy defeat has left Bilic under even more pressure, with calls for the Croatian boss to be sacked only growing louder.
West Ham are currently in 17th place in the Premier League table, with their next match coming against Watford.
