COMMENTARY

West Ham defender Issa Diop has shone bright for the club ever since joining in the summer but he wasn’t at his best in the first-half against Burnley on Sunday. The 21-year-old centre-back looked at all odds and end during the opening 45 minutes and played a part in Chris Wood being able to put Burnley 1-0 ahead. This fact didn’t go unnoticed by a large section of Hammers fan on social media as they tore Diop’s performance apart bit by bit. One Hammers fan claimed that the enforcer was having a mare while several claimed that the defender had been caught napping for Woods’ opening goal. Hopefully Diop raises his performance in the second half to help Manuel Pellegrini’s side turn the game around as they went into the break 2-0 down after Dwight McNeil doubled the Claret’s advantage in the 34th minute. If the defender continues to play bad then the Hammers manager may have to hook him early to stop his side looking so vulnerable at the back.
