It Is Time Kouyate Started To Live Up To His Enormous Potential

West Ham’s midfi elder has it all but has struggled for form so far this season

- Emily Pulham

It’s been an exceptionally difficult start to the season - a start in which very few of our players have actually looked like professional footballers.

Things have started to look up, and two clean sheets at the start of September steadied the ship, but we need to have all the crew on board to prevent any future leaks taking us further adrift.

While we’re calling for all hands on deck, it’s essential we’ve got everyone playing at the best of their potential - and I’m not sure everyone’s quite there yet.

In particular, I’m not sure we’ve seen the best from our loveable Senegalese midfielder-cum-defender, Cheikhou Kouyate.

This is his fourth season playing for West Ham United, but it hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts for him or for the club.
