Fans of West Ham United have been gushing over Michail Antonio’s latest post to Twitter following the defeat against Liverpool.
On Monday night, the forward posted to Twitter praising his side’s ‘fight all the way through’ (as per Michail Antonio), which supporters loved and showed their appreciation for.
Didn’t get the result we wanted but we showed fight all the way through. Need to take that into our next game and get the W! ???? #COYI pic.twitter.com/F2AymIX014

Will West Ham beat the drop if they continue playing like they did against Liverpool?Yes, we put in a good display
No, relegation is inevitable |
Despite not getting on the scoresheet at Anfield, the 29-year-old Englishman picked up a respectable 7/10 performance rating (as per The Independent).
Although the defeat leaves the Hammers in the Premier League’s relegation zone, still trailing Aston Villa by a point (as per BBC), fans were remaining upbeat following Antonio’s post to Twitter.
A lot better performance today perform like that every week we will stay up that’s the minimum we need now ?

You were phenomenal mate. Extreme effort. Thought all the lads put in a shift tonight. Hats off the young lad Ngakia as well. ???

What do we think?
Over the duration of the season, Antonio has proven himself to be a reliable asset, having been the Hammers’ third-best performer in the Premier League with a 7.07/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
However, the attacker has only contributed one goal and one assist over 15 appearances in all competitions (per Transfermarkt), so Antonio may have to contribute more consistently on the goals front if the Irons are to beat the drop.
