Supporters of West Ham United have taken to social media to slam Felipe Anderson after the club posted footage of the Brazilian.
On Monday, the Hammers posted footage of the attacker scoring a goal against Newcastle United last season (per West Ham), which led many fans to slate the 27-year-old.
Pace. Power. Precision.

Are these West Ham fans being overly harsh on Felipe Anderson?Yes, he is a key player for us
No, they're spot on

Over the 2018/19 Premier League season, Anderson bagged an impressive nine goals and four assists in 36 league appearances, however, has just one goal and four assists over 22 outings this term (per Transfermarkt).
While that is only eight fewer goals scored in 14 fewer games, West Ham supporters made their feelings on the £28.8 million-rated Brazilian’s form this season clear following the club post.
Its a one season wonder bro

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these West Ham fans, they believe that the 27-year-old attacker is far too inconsistent with his form.
However, while fans believe the Brazilian to have been under par this season, Anderson has still been the third-best performer for the Hammers in the Premier League with a 7.07/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
