West Ham attacker criticised by Tony Cascarino.

Tony Cascarino has criticised West Ham attacker Marko Arnautovic.

Arnautovic appeared to argue with supporters from the bench after he was substituted early against Everton.

The Austrian attacker was linked with an exit in the January transfer window before deciding to stay, BBC Sport reported.

After being frustrated with him at the time, some West Ham fans gave him the benefit of the doubt since he said he was staying.

However his form since has been poor, and the bond he had with supporters is quickly disappearing.

Pundit Cascarino told The Times that he believes Arnautovic is the club’s biggest problem right now.

He said: “I don’t doubt his ability but his attitude stinks.

“He has not scored since being given a pay rise to stop him moving to China in January. He was a big problem in the 2-0 loss to Everton and is behaving as he did at the end of his time with Stoke City.”

Arnautovic looks frustrated, and showed it, throwing a water bottle as he was substituted off.

He has scored seven goals in 23 Premier League games, the last of which came on January 2.
