Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has criticised West Ham United duo Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini.
The two players are widely considered as some of the best players outside of the ‘top six’ in the Premier League, but they have made a stuttering start to the new season.
The Hammers are winless in six matches in all competitions, their last victory coming in September against Manchester United.
The pair have zero goals between them so far this season and Nicholas feels they’re not doing enough. As quoted on Sky Sports, Nicholas said:
They are a talented side but Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini have not produced thus far.
Robert Snodgrass has been their best player over the last couple of weeks.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
You can’t really disagree with Nicholas here. Anderson and Lanzini have been well below par this season and need to step it up immediately.
Whether Pellegrini needs to change the system or the style of play to suit the duo, something needs to be done urgently to get the best out of them both.
They’ll be hoping to get their side back to winning ways at Turf Moor against a Burnley side also out of form.
