Issa Diop sends two-word message to West Ham United ace Said Benrahma after Fulham controversy
Issa Diop has sent a message to West Ham forward Said Benrahma on Instagram after the Hammers earned a 1-1 draw with Fulham on Saturday (17 December).
Jarrod Bowen was on target for the Hammers as they came from behind to earn a draw. But there was one moment that became the central talking point.
Diop, who joined Fulham this summer from West Ham, made a strong (and needless) tackle on Benrahma who was seen writhing on the floor after the challenge.
The French defender took to Instagram to share a picture of him with Benrahma with the message “Mon frere” which translates as “my brother”.
Big hopes
Benrahma looked in cracking form prior to the World Cup break, and David Moyes needs him to deliver once again.
The Algerian has managed two goals and an assist in seven starts in the Premier League, but we all know he is capable of better than this.
In fact, Moyes addressed this issue about Benrahma after the win against Bournemouth. The 27-year-old can be an outstanding player on his day, but then again, he can come up with a series of mediocre performances.
Benrahma needs to add consistency to his game, and he is capable of doing that.
He has got loads of talent and hopefully, we will see the best from him in the coming months.
Benrahma was superb in the 2-0 win against the Cherries where he scored a goal. He was brilliant in the 1-0 defeat against Manchester United as well.
He followed it up with two outstanding performances against Crystal Palace and Leicester City.
The Hammers will face Arsenal away on Boxing Day, and hopefully, Benrahma can put up a positive show and help the club pick up a win.
