The 2019/20 season has been nothing short of shambolic for West Ham United. Despite a few good wins this season the majority of the campaign has an abysmal one, and how the fans would like to go back to 2016 after seeing their club tweet a throwback video of a Mark Noble strike against Norwich City.

Of course, there is still a chance for the Hammers to enjoy the final matches of this season, and they do have a clash against the Canaries in there for Noble to score another memorable goal, but this season will never live up to the one from 2015/16 when the Irons had the fantastic Dimitri Payet.
Many fans have seen the club’s post and reminisced over the good times from that memorable season, but others have used it as a stick to beat the current players with and slam them for the awful season in which they’re having.
Could the slump in form be addressed by dropping Noble?
Yes
No

Be playing them next season in championship

2016 was the last time West Ham fielded a team who fought for each and every point and went into every game trying to win the game as opposed to merely trying to avoid defeat. The feeling surrounding West Ham in the season of 2016 feels like a lifetime ago now.

Nostalgia does not earn the points required for the current campaign. #GSBout

Fast forward to 2019-20 season Nobes would have gone square and within 5 passes it would be back with the keeper to hoof it up the pitch

The Hammers have got very little faith in their current squad, and that famous 15/16 season feels an awful lot longer than just four years ago.
