The attacker failed to score in WBA’s latest Premier League game, a 1-0 win over Hull City at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
He missed a glorious chance on 42 minutes when he dragged his effort wide with just the Hull City goalkeeper to beat after he was put through by Saido Berahino.
Speaking after the game, the WBA manager, Tony Pulis, spoke about Ideye’s miss and the need for improvements to be made by every member of his squad.
“We had good chances in the first half and never took them. A lot of things (in our performance) pleased me today but there are a load of things we can work on,” he said.
Some fans of the club were however not quite as charitable and took to Twitter to voice their frustrations.
Adam Stevens attempted to draw comparisons between Ideye and the day’s match winner, Berahino as he tactfully made his point.
“No one can try and fool #WBA fans as to Berahino's price. We've seen that 10 mil buys you an Ideye, so you can at least treble that for Said,” he tweeted via @AdamLibertyLies.
Simon Kendrik summed up his feelings thus: “I've hoped and hoped that Ideye would prove us all wrong at some point. Today has extinguished that hope. #wba,” via @billybassett68.
Martin Eaglestone posited that the former Sochaux man is not a striker with his tweet. “Seems Ideye is out to prove, beyond doubt, he is not a striker. #wba go prove me wrong –please,” he wrote via @Carrageryr.
The man at the centre of the storm, Ideye, seems to be taking it all in his stride as he also took to Twitter immediately after the game.
“We really appreciate all the support from everyone in the stadium today especially the WBA fans, very important 3point today,” he tweeted via @OfficialIdeye.
Ideye, the club’s record signing, has scored once in 11 league appearances for WBA this season.
