Shearer: West Ham produced a horror show

Alan Shearer slammed West Ham's performance for defeat to West Brom.

Former England and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer said West Ham's defence was "a horror show".

Speaking on BBC Sport, he said: "I know they have injuries and two new full-backs but this is not a problem that has happened this season. It started at the end of last season. They have conceded at least two goals in 12 of their last 15 Premier League games.

"It was a horror show, so bad it was like watching an under-10s team. It was laughable and extraordinary.

"I have not seen defending like that for a long time. It was so bad it was unbelievable."
