Many Everton fans have been blasting the display of Salomon Rondon in their game at home to West Ham United in the Premier League this afternoon.
The Venezuela international really struggled to make any real impact on the match and often found himself isolated up top up against the central defenders of the Hammers, failing to hold the ball up on the rare occasions that he was able to get on it or make the most of the second half chances which fell his way.
With both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison still out injured, the onus is now, and has been, on Rondon to perform, but he failed to score in his first five appearances for the Toffees before this afternoon. On that form, he will surely find himself out of the team when the other duo return.
As per SofaScore, his passing completion rate left a lot to be desired this afternoon, while he was also culpable of losing the ball far too often and failed to trouble Irons goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

These Everton supporters on Twitter blasted Rondon’s performance, with one Toffees fan even going as far as to claim that he is ‘just another Denis Stracqualursi’, who only managed to score three goals in 28 games for the Blues in all competitions (Transfermarkt):
