West Ham legend Phil Parkes has slammed the quality of current first-choice goalkeeper Roberto.

Five of the last six goals conceded by West Ham have been from corners or free-kicks, with Roberto in particular at fault.

It's pretty obvious he's not very good!" Parkes told Claret and Hugh

In fact I remarked to a mate when I watched him in the Oxford United game that he may have a clause in his contract which ensures he doesn't have to dive for the ball!

These are worrying times and things need to change the goalkeeping situation has to be addressed right away.

I don't like him at all and to be honest he doesn't even look like a goalkeeper to me.

"He looks like an outfield player who has somehow found his way between the sticks.

We might have got away with him over a couple of games but the idea of him being in there until January is a serious worry and it's hardly any wonder the team is suffering a crisis of confidence."
