Many fans on Twitter have been debating Mark Noble, after his controversial comments to talkSPORT last Saturday evening.
The most notable parts of the post-match interview saw the 489-appearance star say that the club should no longer be relying on him to save to football matches.
Some supporters sided with Noble, reiterating his status as a club legend and eluding to how much he clearly cares about West Ham.
However, others adopted a different tone, asking the 33-year-old to get off his high horse, damningly criticising his leadership skills and taking aim at his footballing abilities.
Noble has only failed to start in three league matches this season – clearly he hasn’t been able to do enough to prevent Moyes’ men fall into a relegation scrap.
@Noble16Mark cannot knock his passion for the club! Will go down as one of the greatest players to ever put on the shirt ⚒️ #legend

Club legend ⚒️
Comments on here saying the interview is big headed, it’s the opposite! He’s saying that he shouldn’t be a guaranteed 1st teamer at his age, but he is, because our recruitment is so appalling.
Speak to the board @Noble16Mark and demand they spend some money!!!— Jed (@Jed_rg) January 25, 2020
True WHU legend who clearly cares about the club. Just a shame @BroadcastMoose cares more about the buffet than the team he claims to support #gbsout

People talk about Noble being a club legend, he is and has been average at best.
Cannot motivate players on the pitch
Best we move on and concentrate on getting a team that we get us out of the championship— mark dent (@denty32) January 26, 2020
Noble needs to get off his high horse. He is largely part of the problem. Only motivates the team a few games a season. Slow as a dinosaur and been well past it for over 4 years. Slowing the game down alot. Another one well overpaid

We never relied on him when he was 20-30 in fact he relied on Parker so wouldn’t say we rely on him now, if case then players would relyon him for performance at Leicester, Burnley etc which never happened which is his failure as captain to realise he ain’t good enough anymore

Shouldn’t have been relying on him full stop. Average player. Poor leader
