Supporters of West Ham United have been reacting to posts from Felipe Anderson’s Instagram story showing the Brazilian in training.
On Wednesday, stories from the Brazilian’s Instagram account were shared to Twitter (via West Ham News) showing the attacker doing warm-weather training during the winter break, which had some fans slating him.

Looks like he’s working harder than he does on the pitch

Has Felipe Anderson been falling short of expectations so far this season?Yes, he's just not been good enough
No, he's done enough for us so far

Over 21 games in all competitions for the Hammers so far this term, the 26-year-old attacker has scored once and assisted on five occasions (as per Transfermarkt).
While some supporters slated the Brazilian despite his strong 7.18/10 average rating (per WhoScored), others were pinning their hopes on him for the remainder of the season.
Fair play to him, some professional pride at least.

Maybe the deciding factor on whether we stay up or go down

We need him to finally turn up and play for us like he did last season, then maybe, with the others we might just stay up,,,,

What do we think?
While six goal involvements over 21 games for the Hammers have probably fallen short of expectations judging from some fans’ responses, he will have had an impact beyond his goals return due to his average match rating.
Having been out of action for just over a month now with a rib injury, Anderson looks close to fitness and, hopefully, he is back and firing fit before too much longer (as per football.london).
