It’s the morning after the night before and the realisation has hit home that after spending an absolute fortune, this summer, West Ham United have lost both their opening Premier League games and sit bottom of the pile.
Naturally, in the aftermath of the defeat to AFC Bournemouth, we would expect the support to be looking for someone to blame, the execution of blame culture we like to call it.
Delving into the wold of social media it appears that several of the Hammers supporters have identified who they, rightly or wrongly, have identified as being the square peg in the round hole, as the following comments show:
Mark Noble must be dropped

The season starts when noble is not in the team

Harsh words and I’m sure you have your own views on the subject matter, but not all supporters share the same view, as the comment below illustrates:
Ok so why is it all down to noble ? You have anderson not running back noble at fault for the goal defence all shit. You telling me if obiang was on for nobs we won that ? Stop looking to put the blame on one man the whole team was shit

Is that a more balanced opinion?
Here at Vital West Ham, we’d like to hear your views on the subject matter above, does Mark Noble deserve a place in the starting eleven or has Father Time started to erode his attributes?
