Former England and Liverpool star Jamie Carragher has slammed West Ham and says they should ‘really fear’ relegation this season after what has been a poor start to the new season.
Despite spending heavily during the summer, the Hammers currently sit in 16th place in the Premier League having won only two of their ten top flight games this season.
While Hammers fans will no doubt be hoping for a turnaround, Carragher believes they should not get their hopes up and instead should be incredibly worried for their top flight status.
Carragher told Sky Sports Monday Night Football (via the Daily Mail): “Crystal Palace battered them really, I mean they were lucky to get a point.
“There’s a lot of teams near the bottom of the league and you can make a case for them not going down but I’m struggling with West Ham.
“They are getting a little bit close, too close for comfort to teams we’ve actually slaughtered over these last few years, your Sunderland’s, your QPRs when you’ve watched them and it’s really poor.
“They are the one team I would massively worry about in terms of relegation because it doesn’t look like there’s much there.”
