WEST HAM reached a new low with Saturday’s abject performance against a below strength West Bromwich Albion.
The happiest man in the London Stadium was former West Ham, and now, West Brom manager Slaven Bilic. He saw his side — with eight changes, including bringing in veterans Gareth Barry and Charlie Austin — thoroughly outplay a virtually full strength West Ham team.
This despite being reduced to 10 men for the final 20 minutes, when Serni Ajayi was sent off.
