These 2 West Ham players must improve if they are to stay up

Andre Ayew

Andre Ayew has made six appearances for West Ham since returning from an injury he sustained on the opening day against Chelsea.

The Ghanaian international can’t be too harshly criticised given the serious thigh injury he picked up back in August, but Bilic clearly feels he has something to offer given his two Premier League starts and four substitute appearances since returning.

However, the 26-year-old has created just two chances in that time, and has yet to have a shot at goal so far this season.

It could be worth taking him out of the side for a few weeks to build up his fitness, but Bilic needs his best players performing now given West Ham’s predicament near the bottom of the league.

They are clearly struggling going forward, and Ayew will be one of the players they look at to get the goals to drag them away from the bottom three.
