West Ham United fans on William Carvalho display:

He was bang average! Longest pass he made was 5 yards … He did not run with the ball once. Did not see him make one tackle and he must of covered all of 100 yards the whole game. Reminded me of a poor Yaya Toure – and I mean Yaya Toure at the age of 35.

Yes wasn’t his best Intl game. Like Carvalho but don’t think he has the pace & Mobility we need. That’s why what I’ve heard a lot PL clubs have pulled out. Shkiri (23) w Tunisia one to watch. Very good CDM for Montpellier

Thought he looked excellent, calm, composed, protected backline. Done the job against one of the best teams in the world.

He was lacklustre. Need a midfielder there who moves forward with the ball as well as spreading play rather than move forward without it and spread play every time he gets it

Compared to Kante he’s Bang Average!

William Carvalho would be unreal for us

On yesterdays performance, I don’t see the hype around William Carvalho. Looks like a character for an 80s American police sitcom, moves like Yaya Toure, likes playing piggy in the middle, and passes 20 yards tops. Not worth it in my opinion. #COYI

William carvalho is just kouyate with technique, but that’s exactly what we need. #COYI #WHUFC

Carvalho is surely a must this summer. If Pellegrini is going to play 4-4-2 he is perfect as the holding midfielder

I’d rather have whoever Brands and Silva want in the middle to be honest …

For all those keyboard warriors out there who were slagging carvalho off and say he’s not good enough let this sink in he was in direct competition against andres iniesta and David Silva just take time to think about that before making sweeping decisions #EFC

He looked like a poor version of Darron Gibson last night, but if Silva and Brands want him I trust there judgment

Carvalho’s mobility looked worrying last night, but must say for a big fella his ability on the ball was decent and seems to have a good range of passing. Is he any better than what we’ve got though? #EFC

Honestly that Carvalho fella makes Bakayoko look like Essien.

On a side note, William Carvalho is the most pointless footballer I’ve ever seen. Rather keep Schneiderlin.

Also that William Carvalho, although sometimes he looked lost on the pitch, he is a big lump with good feet, awareness in play and good attacking intent. With tactical guidance from Marco Silva (if we get him) he can be quality for us! #EFC
