Thilo-Kehrer-during-training-for-West-Ham
West Ham United fans were left fuming with Thilo Kehrer‘s latest performance against Aston Villa at the weekend.
The Lowdown: Held to a draw
The Hammers were held to a 1-1 draw against Villa on Sunday, with David Moyes insisting that it was two points dropped for his side, given the amount 0f chances they created.
It was yet another frustrating result for West Ham fans, with their side now sitting in 17th place, outside of the relegation zone on goal difference alone, and one player received particularly scathing criticism on social media…
The Latest: Kehrer slammed
Fans took to Twitter during the game to express their frustration with what they deemed to be another very poor performance from Kehrer.
They said:
“Kehrer is a terrible player!” – @TerryD_
“Thilo Kehrer is a walking liability – horrific decision making and should be nowhere near a starting spot. He was tragic for PSG and how he gets near the Germany team is a mystery.” – @i_am_seamus
“How on earth does Kehrer have caps for Germany he’s awful” – @brad_hass4
“Kehrer is useless.” – @GEORGEALLXN
“Kehrer being targeted, positional/decision making terrible.” – @Stannystan
“Kehrer has been shocking, not getting close enough to Moreno allowing too much time on the ball. Watkins should’ve buried that chance such a massive let off for us.” – @AzamWHUFC
The Verdict: Must improve
It is not the first time that the German has received criticism for his performances this season, with journalist Stefan Bienkowski describing a performance for his national side as ‘horrendous’ back in November.
With an average Sofascore rating of 6.65, the 26-year-old is ranked as the worst-performing defender in the entire West Ham squad, which is extremely disappointing from a player who is clearly talented, given that he has 24 caps for Germany.
As such, Moyes will have to carefully consider whether to start Kehrer in West Ham’s next Premier League match, which is at home against Southampton at the beginning of April.
