West Ham Fans Stunned by Paqueta’s Instagram Post After Man City Defeat

As West Ham fell to a heavy defeat against the Premier League champions, Lucas Paquetá delivered another ineffective performance at The Etihad.

Paquetá has been woeful for the Hammers this season, and his subpar form continued even before the Manchester City game, as seen in his lackluster display against Liverpool at the London Stadium.

While recent reports suggest West Ham have no intention of selling Paquetá in January, I believe the club’s owners should actively seek to move him on.

His performances have been so disappointing that retaining him may do more harm than good.

Julen Lopetegui is under mounting pressure, and it was notable to see David Moyes in the stands at The Etihad, observing the situation.

Lopetegui’s insistence on starting the frustrating Paquetá might prove to be a costly decision.

Paquetá’s poor display against Manchester City on Saturday exemplified his struggles this season, compounded by his controversial actions online after the match.

Following another lackluster showing, West Ham fans were left stunned by Paquetá’s post on social media.

The Brazilian midfielder’s performance was riddled with errors, especially his casual attitude in possession, which often leads to costly mistakes in his defensive third.

These issues have been evident in matches against Tottenham and Arsenal earlier this season.

In my view, Paquetá should be far from the starting lineup right now.

However, he seems to have a different perspective on his contributions.

After the 4-1 loss to Manchester City, Paquetá took to Instagram to share his statistics from Sofascore, an act that raised eyebrows.

Sharing personal stats after such a heavy defeat is baffling and reflects poorly on his awareness of the team’s struggles.

For me, the eye test tells the real story: Paquetá has been a liability rather than an asset.

While stats may highlight some positive moments, they don’t outweigh his frequent mistakes and lack of impact during games.

His off-field issues have only added to the frustration, though they cannot excuse his poor performances.

The truth is, Paquetá has failed to deliver consistently this season.

Despite flashes of brilliance in the past, his current form makes him a detriment to the team.

Selling him in the January transfer window, even for a nominal fee, would be the best move for West Ham.

The club needs players who can contribute meaningfully, and Paquetá no longer fits that mold.
