Some West Ham fans took to social media in order to slam midfielder Mark Noble for his display during the 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday.
Several Hammers supporters took to Twitter in order to question the 31-year-old’s latest performance with one claiming that he clearly proved himself to be the weakest link in Manuel Pellegrini’s side following his outing at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Noble has been a regular fixture of the Hammers’ first-team for many years now and has played 437 times for the London club.
However as one fan tweeted that even though they thought the midfielder had been a loyal servant it pained them to admit that his days at the club looked over.
Forever West Ham has rounded up some of the best tweets about Noble below:

Watching replays of #WHUBOU and:
Noble and Ogbonna must be dropped. Yarmolenko is our best winger. Sanchez is x100 what Wilshere and Noble offer us.
Anderson is so slow.
Snodgrass is championship material.
Our defence is terrible at offside trap

Really hope he's doing his coaching badges.

I’ve always been a fan of Mark Noble looking at his passing strengths rather than lack of pace but his inability to make a challenge for 1st goal demonstrated his days are over he will not get faster , shame really , great guy @WestHamUtd

Also, I love them both, but I'm not a fan of the Jack Wilshere and Mark Noble midfield partnership. I don't think they can play together if I'm being honest.

The longer West Ham play with Mark Noble the worse we will get! Modern midfield players need to be able to get around the pitch!

OPINION
When supporters are calling for Mr.West Ham to be dropped you know he has submitted a terrible display. Noble, who earns £50,000-a-week at the London Stadium (Source: Spotrac) was disappointing during his side’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend and looked equally as bad during his team’s 2-1 loss at the hands of Bournemouth. While the 31-year-old midfielder has given his all to the Hammers for many seasons, it’s hard to disagree with fans that it may be time for him not to be a regular fixture of his side. Noble doesn’t work well with Wilshere in midfield, who performed better than him against the Cherries, and doesn’t look capable of playing the fast moving attacking style that Pellegrini likes his team to play. While it will be a shame to see the 31-year-old benched, it looks like being an easy decision for the Hammers boss to make. It’s worth stating that the midfielder didn’t have the best 2017/18 campaign either and it’s clear that Father Time has been catching up with him for the last few seasons.
