West Ham United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United on May 20, leaving the club on the brink of relegation from the Premier League with just one match remaining in the season.
On The Rest Is Football, Alan Shearer did not mince words regarding the performance, stating, "I have to say West Ham, oh my goodness. They were dreadful defensively. I mean, it's like watching an under-15s or 16s amateur side at times, how bad they are defensively."
The frustration surrounding the club's defensive collapse is compounded by looming personnel changes, with reports confirming that Mateus Fernandes is set to exit this summer regardless of the final league standings. Club captain Jarrod Bowen has attempted to rally the squad, but with the threat of the drop becoming a reality, the consensus among pundits remains grim.
