da dobrowin: A number of West Ham fans hit out at Nikola Vlasic over his London Stadium performance against Rapid Vienna on Thursday evening.
da 888casino: David Moyes’ side made it two wins from two in the Europa League, with goals from Declan Rice and Said Benrahma sealing a 2-0 win, but it was Vlasic’s performance which had a number of supporters talking on social media.
The 23-year-old, who will cost the Hammers more than £30m due to add-ons, made his sixth West Ham appearance and his third start in all competitions.
He played in an attacking midfield role but was the only Irons starter to record a SofaScore match rating of under 7/10. He had just 25 touches of the ball in his 62-minute display, fewer than goalkeeper Alphonse Areola with 28, and lost six of his 10 duels on the night. [SofaScore]
