IT seems crystal clear tho hundreds of thousands of supporters and a SKY tv audience of millions that West Ham’s eleven that started on the pitch last night isn;’t fit for purpose. The ease with which Leeds strolled through for their first goal, from their first attack, made a mockery of all of the claims that the hammers had been ‘hard at work’ on the training pitch since Monday night.
Actions speak louder than words.
Any ten year old could tell you that Ollie Scarles was at fault for the first goal. And that neither centre-back got their head to the ball from a corner – whilst Paquetá lost his marker – and allowed a simple second from another set piece.
All horribly predictable.

Rob Green, ‘England’s number three’ and Hammers stalwart with over 240 appearances summed up the woeful plight of the club in one simple sentence live on TV last night. As reported today via [_bbc.co.uk:_](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g7r41m2l3o)
_It was a repeat from Monday night \[a loss to Brentford\], a shape we didn’t understand, inverted full-backs, full-backs on the wrong side – it didn’t work on Monday and they did it again – **I don’t understand how you can make five substitutions and have a better XI and better shape than what you started with. None of it is making any sense.**_
Tell us about it, Rob, watching from the sidelines causes just as much distress from lifelong fans now too frustrated or upset to turn up any more. Green’s summary speaks to what we’ve already seen with our own eyes:
_“They’re in trouble, this is perilous, we have seen teams go on these losing runs and disappear out of the Premier League.”_
