West Ham supporters were left to drown their sorrows in the Transfer Tavern on Sunday night after seeing the Hammers go down 2-0 to Watford at Vicarage Road, thus inflicting defeat on new manager David Moyes in his first game in charge.
The former Everton and Manchester chief replaced the sacked Slaven Bilic during the international break with the East London outfit in the Premier League’s bottom three, and they remain there after a seventh league defeat of the campaign. Goals either side of half time from Will Hughes and Richarlison secured a comfortable victory for Marco Silva’s side, a result which moved them up to eighth in the division, and left new Hammers boss Moyes with plenty to ponder over the coming days.
Thus, there have been several unhappy West Ham fans in the Tavern in the last few hours, with many already trying to forget Sunday’s woeful display by turning their attentions to Friday night’s huge clash against Leicester City at the London Stadium.
Yet many did take to Twitter in the aftermath of the weekend’s clash at Vicarage Road to express their views on the game, with midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate coming in for heavy criticism for his efforts in Hertfordshire.
The 27-year-old missed two glaring opportunities to bring the Hammers back into the contest either side of half time, and that ultimately cost Moyes’ men at least a share of the spoils from their trip to the Hornets.
And several Hammers fans took to social media to hammer the midfielder…
Thought kouyate has been poor for a long time now, never gets any stick though. He slips under the radar #coyi #whufc

If Kouyate had any technique at all we might have won that #whufc

I know Kouyate has underperformed this season but I’ve never seen him play this badly going forward #WHUFC

So disappointed in Kouyate recently. Used to be so reliable. I also think Adrian needs another chance in goal.#watwhu #Coyi

Declan Rice for Kouyate next game

Kouyate should be the only player in that sentence, he’s absolutely useless

How is Kouyate still on the pitch? He’s been awful today. #WHUFC
