**Crysencio Summerville appeared livid at his teammates in tonight’s performance against the Cherries as Nuno’s walked away with just a lone point.**
All frustration and no elation, that ultimately summarises the Hammers’ evening against Bournemouth. Fans have felt hard done by the fact that Nuno’s side only walked away with a point, and, in honesty, it appeared that Bournemouth set out to neutralise West Ham rather than challenge to win the game.
Summerville, who has been West Ham’s knight in shining armour as of late, appeared fuming with his teammates towards the end of the game. Around the 70th minute mark, Summerville appeared so annoyed with his teammates that he let the ball go on in the hope that someone would pick the ball up and give it to him in the right areas… it almost felt as if he was saying ‘we practised this on the training ground, now let’s do it on the pitch’.
The Dutchman was evidently hoping for the ball to be played towards the box where he’d be able to drive in and take a shot, of which he only managed to pull off once throughout the entire of the game, which suggests in itself that further work needs to be done behind the scenes.
Tonight, the squad didn’t play to each other’s strengths and unfortunately, it showed. It was a vital opportunity and one of our best ones in the upcoming weeks to close in on Nottingham Forest, yet due to poor and panicked decision making, we now find ourselves two points away instead of being on level.
Summerville has the right to be upset with the squad given that we already know how he can pull a rabbit out of the hat as of late. Why wouldn’t you provide him the opportunity to do so? All the Dutchman wanted was the ball to be placed in the correct place and then he’d do the rest of the hard work, ludicrous!
