The media team have looked to capitalise on this positivity, posting about some of the team's men on the club's official Twitter page.

This has backfired in the case of their post about Mark Noble, as it has led to fans slating the club captain.

One fan claimed that he is "an awful footballer", while others said that he is "useless" and "needs to step up".

Noble has struggled at times this season, as shown through his tackling statistics, as he averages 1.7 tackles per game as per WhoScored, but commits 1 foul and is dribbled past 1.5 times.

Did he really play for us?! No West Ham fan has managed to name all of these obscure Irons signings....

He may have recorded four goals and an assist, while maintaining a pass success rate of 82%, but this has not been enough to get fans on his side.

There are some who even feel the 32-year-old "should be dropped", with one claiming that Robert Snodgrass should play centrally until Tomas Soucek returns from injury.

Noble is somebody the club have continuously relied on down the years, as he has made his 500th appearance for the club in December.

However, if David Moyes was to listen to the fans, the Hammers cult-hero wouldn't be in the team with quite the same regularity.

Meanwhile, West Ham fans were drooling over one player's performance against Southampton.
