West Ham fans are yet to see the best of Felipe Anderson this season, the Brazilian hasn’t scored a single goal for the Hammers in the Premier League, and his form has been very poor. However, the Irons have been talking about what needs to happen for him to get back to his best.

The Brazilian winger has looked sluggish and often slowed down his side’s attacks when the Hammers have been on the break and counter-attacking in games, yet the Felipe Anderson of last season would not have been described in this way whatsoever.
Last season, in the winger’s debut season in England, Anderson bagged himself 10 goals and five assists in all competitions (Transfermarkt), and whilst he’s yet to find those levels this season the fans are willing to suggest anything to turn it around.
Should Diangana be recalled this January?
Yes
No

He not playing like this this season! We want him playing like last season!

Needs to play in the free role behind Haller.

Anderson’s best form was when Diangana was in and around the side. Another player who can run at people and create space.

We need a different Anderson back. This one only turns up every 10 games

Need the Felipe Anderson back that runs at defenders and commits them rather than slowing our attacks down !!

He’s good for 2 games a season … show his highlights from the other 36 games

The Irons are desperate to get Anderson playing his best football and will be keen to see him bag his first goal of the season sooner rather than later.
