West Ham fans furious with Lanzini after Leicester loss
West Ham United fell to a disappointing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Playmaker Manuel Lanzini was handed another start by manager David Moyes and lasted the entire 90 minutes on the pitch, but fans were not impressed with his display.
The Argentine has struggled massively so far this season and has not found the back of the net once yet this term. He has registered three assists in 17 league appearances.
The 26-year-old’s contract expires in the summer of 2023 after extending his deal in August 2019.
The midfielder has the option of extending his stay at London Stadium for a further two years and judging by the comments of some of these West Ham fans towards him, it doesn’t sound like they want him at the club for much longer.
They took to Twitter to send their message to the attacking midfielder.
Twitter: @WestHamRambles Drop him full stop (@bobaustin65)
Twitter: @WestHamRambles He’s literally hiding from the ball. Standing behind his marker, not moving, not driving forward…. an utter embarrassment. (@kjohno10)
