West Ham Super Fans do not want Andriy Yarmolenko starting v Rapid Wien
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Ham United Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around the London Stadium. You can join in the discussion on our West Ham Zone Facebook page.
West Ham attacker Andriy Yarmolenko is in contention to start against Rapid Wien on Thursday night.
The Ukrainian looked like he was on his way out this summer, but ended up staying put at the London Stadium, possibly due to the lack of interest in his services.
This would have been rather disappointing for the club hierarchy as he was on the back of a good showing at Euro 2020 and could have been put on the shop market.
He was given his chance when he came off the bench in the Hammers’ previous Europa League game against Dinamo Zagreb, but failed to impress and wasn’t too good against Manchester United either.
His recent performances for the Hammers have led to fans not wanting to see him anywhere near the playing eleven.
Here’s what they said:
Fair argument
We can understand where the Hammers Super Fans are coming from and to be fair, we believe they have a point.
Yarmolenko appears to be like a different player for his club in comparison to his country.
He seems like a disgruntled figure at the London Stadium and if David Moyes isn’t managing to get the best out of him then it does not make sense to keep him.
He should ideally be shown the door and hopefully the club use that money to make better recruitments in the future.
