OPINION
The reaction from the West Ham United supporters seems a bit harsh on Arthur Masukau really. He wasn’t horrible against Fulham in the Hammers’ 2-0 win on Saturday, in fact it was one of his better games this season. However, he is now such a figure of ridicule for West Ham that whenever he makes a small mistake or gives the ball away the fans pounce on it. To be fair, he only has himself to blame for how he is viewed by the team’s fans, but that doesn’t mean he should be scrutinised to a more severe degree than his team mates. Obviously he was far from the best player on the pitch against the Cottagers, but he did OK on the left hand side of the defence, and how many times can you say that this season? But still he has received criticism from the West Ham faithful. It’s inevitable for Masuaku now and, again, that is his own fault. But you feel like the criticism he got on Saturday was unfair.

Masuaku gets worse every game. Rice is having to cover him constantly ffs

It looks like Fulham have identified Masuaku as a weak link. I expect a reorganisation from Fulham in the 2nd half to try and take even more advantage.
