West Ham United were beaten by Manchester City today.

West Ham United fans are seriously putting the boot into Arthur Masuaku.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side were destroyed 4-0 by Manchester City at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Premier League leaders were 3-0 ahead by the break following a rip-roaring first half by the defending champions.

Despite the scoreline, West Ham weren’t terrible for the first 45 minutes – well, not offensively, but it was a different story in defence.

Masuaku, a £6.2 million signing in 2016 [Daily Mail], was questionable for at least two goals, but particularly the second as Raheem Sterling got the run on him to convert Leroy Sane’s cross.

And here’s how Irons supporters have reacted to Masuaku’s display:

Plenty of Hammers players improved second half, keeping the scoreline down to 3-0 until the dying moments, but Masuaku wasn’t one of the lads who got better.

The 25-year-old is definitely a good footballer, as he proved last season when David Moyes took the reins in East London, but defensively he has always been suspect and this is yet another reminder of that stark fact.
