OPINION

Does anyone else get the feeling that the West Ham United fans don’t like Andy Carroll very much? To be fair to them, the striker was woeful in his side’s 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday. He couldn’t get anything going in what was a disappointing performance from the entire Hammers team. The nadir was a woeful miss just after half time where, if Carroll had scored, West Ham would have gone into the lead. He was free to convert at the back post but somehow – inexplicably – scooped the ball over the bar. It summed up what was a dreadful display from the Englishman. He just doesn’t seem to suit this Hammers team anymore. Manuel Pellegrini is trying to build a quick, technical side and Carroll just doesn’t work with that philosophy. You could see on Saturday that whenever he picked the ball up it just slowed things down. He doesn’t have the physical or mental capabilities to operate successfully in Pellegrini’s team, and Saturday made that abundantly clear.
