West Ham United fans do not want Cheikhou Kouyate in the starting lineup against Manchester City.
West Ham United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to urge manager David Moyes to drop Cheikhou Kouyate from the starting lineup against Manchester City this weekend.
The Hammers will return to action on Sunday afternoon when they take on City away from home at the Etihad Stadium.
The London club will head into the match on the back of a 4-0 defeat to Everton away from home at Goodison Park in the league.
Kouyate featured for West Ham in the match, and the fans were not impressed with the performance of the 27-year-old.
The Senegal international, who can operate as a midfielder or as a defender, started the game against the Toffees and played for the entire 90 minutes.
Not only do West Ham fans want Moyes to drop the midfielder from the starting lineup against City, but they also want the club to sell him in the January transfer window.
Kouyate has been on the books of West Ham since the summer of 2014 when he joined from Belgian giants Anderlecht when Sam Allardyce – now the manager of Everton – was in charge of the Hammers.
