Lucas Paqueta put in yet another poor performance for West Ham United against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has all sorts of problems going on off the pitch right now.
He is currently going through a trial pertaining to four separate potential breaches of betting rules.
And West Ham star Lucas Paqueta could be banned for life if he is found guilty of those charges.

Those off-field issues have clearly affected Paqueta’s performances this season.
And he really frustrated the Hammers fans once again on Saturday during our clash with the Cherries.
West Ham fans react to Lucas Paqueta performance vs Bournemouth
The Brazilian has been extremely underwhelming for the Hammers this season.
He’s an absolute shadow of his former self – perhaps understandably so given his off-field problems.
Hopefully an outcome is reached soon in Paqueta’s trial, and then both the player and the club can move on.

Whether or not that means he’ll end up leaving the London Stadium remains to be seen.
One thing’s for sure though, A Paqueta in this form is no use to us whatsoever.
Numerous West Ham supporters took to social media to vent their frustrations with the Brazil international.
One West Ham fan took to X and let Paqueta know how poor he was:
Man what happened to these😢 we played sandman well, now I don’t even think we’ll be able to get rid kf Paqueta and Kudus they’re that bad

A second fan said, “We not gonna win with Paqueta in and Soler out.“
Whilst a third West Ham supporter said, “Paqueta getting banned could Be a good thing He’s the most over rated player that’s ever played for this club (said it for over a year) Not a single assist all season is shameful.“
A fourth fan took to social media to say, “Lucas Paqueta offers NOTHING on a football pitch, can’t wait for him to get banned.“
Then another Hammers fan shared his anger, “Get Paqueta off that football pitch. And straight to the FA hearing.“
A sixth West Ham supporter criticised the Brazilian as well, “Take off Lucas Paquetá. Form’s dipped, head’s gone, and the betting cloud still hanging. West Ham need fight, not distractions. Get him off.“
Whilst a seventh fan said, “JWP with more assists than Paqueta and he’s not even been at the club most of the season That’s why Tim steiden was sacked.“

Whilst Paqueta was really poor during the first two thirds of the match, he did look like a completely different player when Niclas Fullkrug came on.
Paqueta played in the hole just behind the German and looked like a different player all together.
West Ham have to sell Lucas Paqueta if they can
The Brazil international really does need to pull his finger out.
He showed glimpses during the final 30 minutes against Bournemouth that he is more than capable of making a big difference for the Hammers.
The fact that he hasn’t registered an assist this season really is unacceptable.
If he is proven innocent of the charges he faces, then the Hammers owners quite simply have to sell him.
Claret and Hugh have suggested that he is indeed expected to leave the London Stadium this summer.
On the whole, the West Ham fans were clearly not happy with Lucas Paqueta’s performance against Bournemouth.
