Supporters of West Ham United have fumed over some quotes from Jarrod Bowen which were relayed to fans on Twitter.
On Thursday evening, some quotes from the 23-year-old were posted to social media in which he stated: “The pressure is not on us at Anfield as no one expects us to get anything” (per West Ham TV), which left supporters furious (via West Ham Gossip).

If we want to win at Anfield we have to PLAY FOOTBALL.
We did fewer passes than Rodri vs Man. City. And had 0 shots on target. We are going down if we continue like this.— Said Muvdi (@SaidMenSnow) February 20, 2020
Wat a negative speech that is

Will West Ham get anything when they travel to Anfield on Monday night?No, we have no chanceYes, there's always a chance

The Hammers will arrive at Anfield on Monday night having lost four of their last six Premier League games and drawn the other two (as per BBC).
Bowen, who arrived at the London Stadium on deadline day for £22 million from Hull City (per The Guardian), has featured in just over 10 minutes of action since his arrival (per Transfermarkt), however, his latest comments left fans unimpressed.
Nothing should ever be expected!! You have to earn the points, not expect them!

What do we think?
As many supporters have picked up on, to suggest that there is no pressure on the side when they are currently sitting in the Premier League’s relegation zone seems a little bit silly (per BBC).
While the task against Liverpool, who have been unbeaten in the league so far this term (per BBC), seems a mammoth one for lowly West Ham, the players need to have belief.
