Fans of West Ham United have taken to social media to slate the Hammers’ 26-year-old left-back Arthur Masuaku.
On Monday, a West Ham fan account quote tweeted a Twitter post which stated that the DR Congo national is a ‘serious baller‘, which led to lots of fans slating the defender (via @WHUFCFZ).
• Can't defend.
• Can barely attack, and when he does his end product is woeful.
• Never seen him take a free kick unless it was on international duty.
I was a big Masuaku fan until this season when he really opened my eyes. I'd say he's looked down upon for a reason. https://t.co/UXvfsYCSFs

Do you believe that supporters are being overly harsh on Arthur Masuaku?Yes, he really isn't that badNo, he really is terrible |
Over almost four years with the Irons since signing from Olympiakos (per Transfermarkt), the defender has scored one goal and assisted seven in 91 appearances (per Transfermarkt).
However, following the post to Twitter which looked to praise the left-back (per @efcliam_), the London Stadium faithful continued slating Masuaku.
Can defend? ? dunno where u got that from

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses of these West Ham supporters, it is clear that many fans do not rate the 26-year-old defender.
However, while a 6.63/10 average rating in the Premier League this season is a little on the uninspiring side (per WhoScored), it does make Masuaku the best-performing left-back in West Ham’s squad.
