West Ham United sit 13th in the Premier League table following Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at Liverpool.
On the face of it, 13th does not sound bad, but the Hammers are only three points clear of the relegation zone ahead of a massive match against Swansea City this weekend.
A number of West Ham players faced criticism from the fans following the defeat at Liverpool, and James Collins was among those to receive abuse.

That led to former West Ham attacker Matthew Etherington taking to Twitter to defend the 34-year-old, who has been a regular for the Hammers in recent weeks.
Collins will see his current deal at the London Stadium expire this summer, and as it stands, there have been no talks over an extension.
The veteran centre-back faced criticism on social media following the Liverpool defeat, but the West Ham fans have again shown their respect for the former Wales international in response to Etherington’s tweet.
