Last Sunday wasn’t world Robert Snodgrass appreciation day, but that didn’t stop fans on Twitter from randomly celebrating McMessi himself.
His league tally of nine-goal contributions this season, more than any other West Ham player, is made all the more impressive by the fact that it’s come from just 20 matches.
The 28-cap international’s been a shining light in a very dark tunnel and head and shoulders above the rest, most certainly in the attacking department – the stats speak for themselves really.
Some supporters called for him to be named Hammer of the Year, whilst one boldly suggested that he’s the best player at the club and a second praised his infectious passion for the shirt.
Best player we’ve got. Considering he was ridiculed a couple of years ago

Most fans will excuse a dip in form but never a dip in commitment, Robert while he hasn’t got Anderson’s “talent “ we know he will never give less than 100% and to be fair, to me he’s not exactly short of that either ⚒⚒⚒

He is playing for the shirt, turns up puts a shift in and fights. He has passion and gets a lot of stick but I like him!!

I really like him
Give him the ball more often he is a fighter— caroleann (@madnessnut) February 10, 2020
Great left foot, one of the best in the business. Dead ball kicks, nearly as good as Payer.

Deserves so much credit for how he’s played this season. Been more consistent this year than he has for any other season with us. Has so much pride and passion for the club, and wants to do well.
