COMMENTARY
Many West Ham fans didn’t hold back on social media after their side suffered a surprise 4-2 loss to AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup on Saturday and defender Arthur Masuaku bore the brunt of their wrath. One claimed the left-back should never play for the club again with another describing him as an absolute liability, and their arguably not his harshest critics. Masuaku has been regularly slammed throughout the season by pundits and fans this season as he clearly isn’t the most defensive-mind left-back you will ever come across. Yet he did reach a new low by struggling to cope with the lower-ranked AFC Wimbledon as surely he shouldn’t have been torn apart by them in the way that he was. With Hammers supporters below clearly wishing for his exit, perhaps it’s about time manager Manuel Pellegrini had a quick look around the transfer market to see if there was any capable left-backs available to sign.
