West Ham Fans Rip Into Defender After Dreadful Performance in Second Straight Defeat

West Ham’s poor start to the Premier League season continued with a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth at the London Stadium on Saturday. And fans are furious with the performance of centre-back Angelo Ogbonna after his lacklustre performance on Saturday. 

The Hammers had taken the lead through Marko Arnautovic’s first-half penalty and looked on their way to securing a first win of the season, but the Cherries scored twice in the second half through Callum Wilson and Steve Cook to take home all three points.

The result leaves West Ham rock bottom of the Premier League table following their 4-0 defeat to Liverpool last week, and West Ham fans have targeted Ogbonna after the Bournemouth game, taking to Twitter to voice their displeasure at the player's substandard performance. 

West Ham fans were not encouraged by what they saw against Bournemouth, with a large number of the 56,888 crowd leaving early. After spending almost £100m in the transfer market, supporters were hoping for a major improvement on last season - and fans will now be looking for an improvement after two losses from their opening games.

Pellegrini’s side face a tough test against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium next Saturday.
