Jamie Carragher slammed West Ham’s “criminal and disgraceful” performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup (5-1).
These are just two words that Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher used to describe West Ham’s performance against Liverpool at Anfield.
Some of West Ham’s players have been feeling unwell recently. The Kladivar fans were sick as dogs watching another defeat for their team after the 5-0 shock at Fulham a few weeks ago.
David Moyes waved the white flag with his team selection in Liverpool before the game had even started.
This was evident in a lacklustre performance in which West Ham did not lay a single glove on the hosts.
This was a chance to reach the semi-finals of the cup competition, with only a desperate Chelsea, an unbeatable Fulham and the champions Middlesbrough standing between them and Wembley.
West Ham fans were not the only ones to be saddened by what they witnessed.
Carragher blasted West Ham’s “criminal and disgraceful” performance in Liverpool.
“I mean how disgraceful West Ham were tonight,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.
“Look at that (performance), it’s shocking…
“It’s absolutely criminal from West Ham, nowhere near good enough.
“You can lose a game but you can’t lose like that – well, we’ve all been there in games – but the fact that it only happened a week or so ago at Fulham (is worrying), although I know they’ve had problems with illness.
“He (Moyes) won’t be happy and he shouldn’t be. West Ham are still having a very good season, he should say that. Eighth in the Premier League, top of the European group, qualification for the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and it was always going to be a tough game. However, this is not the David Moyes team that we saw today. He will be very disappointed with this performance.”
