Crysencio Summerville’s performance in West Ham United’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle United on Monday evening was a microcosm of his frustrating season so far. The Dutch winger, who was rated 6/10 by our reporter, has struggled to find consistency and live up to expectations.
Despite possessing immense talent and potential, Summerville has found himself in and out of the West Ham starting lineup, with manager Julen Lopetegui often opting for more experienced and reliable options.
“I think Crysencio has got a lot of potential, but he’s still got a lot to learn,” said Lopetegui. “He’s got to work on his consistency and his decision-making on the pitch. But I’m confident that he’s got the ability to become a top player for us.”
Summerville’s performance against Newcastle was a case in point. While he showed flashes of brilliance, particularly in the first half, he also struggled to make an impact on the game, often finding himself isolated and unable to influence the proceedings.
“He’s got to work on his movement and his positioning on the pitch,” said West Ham defender Max Kilman. “He’s got to be more aware of the space around him and make better decisions on the ball. But he’s a talented player, and I’m sure he’ll come good with time.”
Summerville’s inconsistency has been a source of frustration for West Ham fans, who have been eager to see the Dutch winger fulfill his potential. However, with patience and guidance from Lopetegui and his coaching staff, there is still hope that Summerville can turn his season around and become a key player for the Hammers.
