Many West Ham fans are pointing the finger at keeper Roberto Jimenez for the dropped points on Saturday.
The 33-year-old managed to make two saves, however, he only had a 37% pass success rate out of the 27 he tried – as per WhoScored.
The Spaniard’s aerial ability was also lacking in the match against Sheffield United, as he failed to win a single aerial duel and also never managed to claim the ball.
The headline for the article posted by the Hammers is, ‘Roberto: It was a game we should have won’. That statement probably didn’t do him any favours in the comments, considering most of the fans are blaming him.
Roberto on yesterday’s draw:

Roberto has played 326 minutes this season, however, the keepers average rating is pretty poor, at just 6.59/10 – as per WhoScored.
One player is never 100% to blame for a loss, but mistakes from goalkeepers are usually game costing. Luckily, the Irons managed to walk away with a point, although many will feel that it’s two less than it should have been.

If you had better positioning and could dive properly we would have won
