#3 Flop: Felipe Anderson

Earlier in the week, David Moyes called upon Felipe Anderson to become the club’s next Marko Arnautovic. The Hammers are in need of a star man and Anderson is one of the club’s most expensive signings ever. Against the Reds, the Brazilian failed to make any kind of impact whatsoever. Of course, we can’t forget this was his first appearance since returning from a five-week rib injury, but Anderson looked completely rusty and behind the pace.

The 26-year-old was started to be a ball-carrying outlet on the counter-attack, instead many of West Ham’s attacks deteriorated because of him. In the first half alone, Anderson was dispossessed twice and owned a shocking 60% pass accuracy.

Although, he did show flashes of brilliance, Anderson was nowhere near his best when West Ham needed him. In his 65 minutes on the pitch, the 26-year-old completed 40% of his tackles and misplaced six passes. If West Ham are to stay up this season, Anderson will need to put in much better performances.
