West Ham United’s Javier Hernandez drew a major blank today.
It wasn’t a good afternoon for West Ham United.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side lost a four-game winning streak as Watford left East London with a 2-0 victory.
But it could and probably should have been a different game.
West Ham hitman Javier Hernandez was guilty of missing a number of chances – including two sitters – and United paid the penalty in the end.
It was a dismal day for the Mexico international and here’s how Irons fans reacted to his performance:
One minor positive came in the form of Andy Carroll, who managed over half-an-hour after replacing the ineffective Mark Noble.
It was only Carroll’s fourth Premier League appearance of what’s been another injury-blighted season and, despite holding the ball up relatively well, he was denied any real chances at goal.
But that will surely change over the coming weeks. The towering striker probably would have scored some of the chances that Hernandez fluffed and if there’s one reason to be cheerful, it’s that Pellegrini has another option up front now.
Hernandez has only managed four goals in 13 Premier League outings.
