Ask anyone outside of West Ham United who their best player is and many will give you the same answer: Felipe Anderson. The Brazilian is sublime on his day, and whilst he hasn’t been finding the net recently, a lot of fans have been quick to dismiss the criticism of their wide-man.
Not a fan of any Anderson hate at all. Has 3 assists this season and played pretty well

The winger signed from Lazio for a then-club-record fee back of £36m in summer 2018 and quickly made his presence known as he opened his account for the Irons in a 3-1 home win over Manchester United.
However, this season he hasn’t got going quite as quickly leading to some of his own fans having a go and criticising his performances. However, the Hammers below aren’t best pleased with that and have been quick to point out his creative influence as well as mention how well he looks to have linked up with Sebastien Haller already in the season’s early months.

I have to agree and I get moaned at constantly!!

Just ignore the minority of haters. The more we give them importance, the more they will hate and shovel bile up….

Anderson is immense. Once he and Haller hook up properly they will be dangerous

Especially as Lanzini is immune from all criticism

He puts a shift in and creates, can’t believe some fans are disappointed. One of the best players we have had at the club for many a year.

The Hammers have been quick to defend Anderson and hopefully, he can repay them with a goal or two at Goodson Park after the international break
