The faltering £50 million pair that West Ham is pushed to sell brutally because they “aren’t proper players”

Kurt Zouma and Konstantinos Mavropanos should be fired by the team, according to a former West Ham United striker, who called the defenders’ performances this season “pathetic.”

On their day, West Ham can be a deadly offensive force thanks to David Moyes’ ability to employ stars like Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus, and Jarrod Bowen in forward positions. Although West Ham is the highest team with a negative goal differential, they are currently ranked sixth in the Premier League.

Indeed, with 45 goals and 49 goals allowed, Moyes’ team has a minus four goal differential.

February was an especially bad month for the West Ham defense, conceding 14 goals in only five games.

Club captain Zouma, on the other hand, has not been able to reclaim the strong form he had when wearing a West Ham shirt.

Frank McAvennie, who played two spells with West Ham and amassed 119 games, has now criticized Mavropanos and Zouma harshly.

He has recommended that West Ham sell the underperforming pair, whose transfer fees were close to £50 million.

“That defense—my goodness. Every week, Mavropanos and Zouma give away gifts, he stated in an interview with Football Insider.

“When those two are playing, they can be improper players, and West Ham will give up goals.”

“I’m not Sometimes they are pitiful, but they are confident in obtaining a clean sheet. If you have these attacking players, you must have a strong back four.

“I have always liked [Vladimir] Coufal.” But [Angelo] Ogbonna is undoubtedly superior to the two youngsters in the middle, right? What has become of him?
