West Ham captain Kurt Zouma has posted a three-word warning to Sheffield United after the Bristol City debacle.
It’s been a pretty dismal start to the new year for West Ham all things considered and one club relishing that fact will be Sheffield United.
Not only because of the rivalry between the Blades and the Hammers following the infamous Carlos Tevez saga.
But because Sheffield United welcome West Ham to Bramall Lane in the Premier League on Sunday.
Tevez rivalry renewed
Chris Wilder’s side are in the all too familiar territory of being rooted to the foot of the table. And they look on course for another relegation.
West Ham meanwhile are in the top six and hoping to stay there come Sunday evening.
David Moyes’ side are seriously struggling with injuries and player availability right now, though.
And it has showed in their results and performances with poor displays in draws with Brighton and Bristol City before being dumped out of the FA Cup by the latter in a third round replay on Tuesday night.
Zouma’s three-word warning to Sheffield United
Hammers fans were far from happy with what they witnessed from their side at Ashton Gate.
But now West Ham captain Kurt Zouma has posted a three-word warning to Sheffield United after the Bristol City debacle.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Zouma posted a rather apt black and white picture of himself apologetically applauding the West Ham fans after the defeat to Bristol.
And he seems determined to make amends by taking it out on Sheffield United this weekend.
Hammers need some good news
“Big reaction needed…” Zouma said.
You can say that again.
Since beating Arsenal on December 28th it’s been nothing but doom and gloom for West Ham.
Moyes has been robbed of Mohammed Kudus to AFCON and has suffered a glut of injuries to key players including Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio.
The Scot has also revealed ahead of the Blades clash that two more key West Ham players are injury doubts.
Said Benrahma will also miss the game as he serves the first of a three-game ban after being sent off on Tuesday night.
On a more positive note, though, West Ham are said to be “hopeful” Bowen may be fit to return against Sheffield United.
