The West Ham United winger has seen better days it seems.

Some West Ham United fans on Twitter are calling on manager Manuel Pellegrini to drop Andriy Yarmolenko next week.

The Ukraine international started his first Premier League game in 10 months for Saturday’s 3-1 win at Watford.

But it wasn’t a brilliant performance for the West Ham winger, who was hauled off for Michail Antonio on 55 minutes.

Pellegrini’s side played much better once Antonio entered the fray at 1-1, with Sebastien Haller netting a second-half double to give the Irons all three points.

And West Ham supporters want their Chilean manager to drop Yarmolenko for Antonio next week against Norwich.

There was bound to be a bit of rust from Yarmolenko. He was always going to look off the pace, such was the injury layoff.

But he is a quality player and there’s a reason why the East Londoners spent £17 million on signing him last summer [Sky Sports].
