Have Felipe Anderson's performances been falling short of expectations this season?Yes, not been good enough
No, he's been relatively solid

Over the duration of the Premier League season so far, Anderson has been the Irons’ third-best performing player, with a solid 7.07/10 average rating in the league (per WhoScored).
However, following the footage of the Brazilian attacker training at home, fans were eyeing a potential signing who appeared throughout the video.
Can that dog play left back ?

What do we think?
While some supporters were quick to criticise the 26-year-old for his performances this season, his average rating of 7.07 would suggest that he has been relatively solid (per WhoScored).
Perhaps due to the attacker having only the 13th-best passing success percentage in the league for West Ham, with 78.6% and 2.1 poor controls per league game (per WhoScored), though, fans are right to believe Anderson could be doing better.
