“You’re using this player in a wrong position and that’s why he has been performed poorly, You played him at the right position yesterday and he became a beast Vs WestHam yesterday”- Todd Boehly warned Pochettino to stop using “special” £100k-a-week Chelsea player in a wrong position if he wants to get the best out of him

Glenn Hoddle criticized West Ham defender Emerson Palmieri for his poor performance in their 5-0 defeat to Chelsea. Hoddle noted that West Ham seemed unconcerned and only wanted to play when they had possession, failing to close down Chelsea players and neglecting crucial areas of the game. He specifically highlighted Emerson’s lack of effort, saying he hadn’t “switched on” even three minutes into the second half and his condition was “appalling.” Hoddle emphasized that West Ham needed to show more effort, especially after conceding multiple goals in the first half.

Jermain Defoe, a former West Ham striker, also criticized the team’s defensive performance under David Moyes. Defoe believed the performance didn’t reflect West Ham’s standards and that the team needed to work harder, especially given Moyes’ defensive-minded coaching style. He noted that Chelsea wasn’t a team that West Ham should be conceding five goals against.

Hoddle and Defoe’s comments highlight the need for West Ham to improve their defensive solidity and work rate. The team’s lack of effort and consistency has led to poor performances, and they must address these issues to compete with top teams like Chelsea. Moyes’ defensive-minded approach should translate to better defensive displays, and the team must take responsibility for their mistakes. With the right attitude and adjustments, West Ham can bounce back from this defeat and show their true potential in the Premier League.
