Loads of West Ham United fans on Twitter have turned on homegrown hero Declan Rice after his latest comments, following Saturday’s costly home defeat to Everton.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men had a chance to go seventh in the Premier League but failed to show up in any regard at London Stadium, being sunk 2-0 by Marco Silva’s men and falling into the bottom half.
No player was safe from criticism in the wake of the shambolic performance, not even the Academy of Football product and recent full England debutant Rice.
Post-match, the 20-year-old spoke to the club’s official website and said: “With the squad we’ve got we should be [aiming for] seventh and every chance we’ve had to move seventh we’ve lost and ruined that opportunity. We need to do better.”
This only roused angry Irons supporters on April Fools’ day with one commenting that it was the best joke he’s ever seen on April 1, while others simply told Rice to “wake up” and frivolously disagreed with the starlet about the strength of the current squad in east London.
