West Ham goalkeeper Roberto has come under fire following a costly error against Tottenham.
The Spaniard failed to keep out, what appeared to be, a relatively comfortable effort from Heung-Min Son to hand Spurs the lead, before also fluffing his lines from a number of balls into the box.

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Roberto has been consistently poor for West Ham since Fabianski’s injury and Pellegrini must be thinking about bringing David Martin in to replace him in their next Premier League game. He simply has not been good enough and it might be worth giving Martin or an under-23 goalkeeper in to see if they can do any better – because it will be hard to do worse at the moment.
It also raises questions as to what the West Ham scouts saw in him to green-light the deal over the summer. Roberto does not even seem capable of doing the basics correctly, which is a worrying sign with Fabianski out for the next few weeks, at least.
