, a shape we didn’t understand, inverted full-backs, full-backs on the wrong side – it didn’t work on Monday and they did it again.” This sentiment is echoed by captain Jarrod Bowen, who admitted that the dressing room morale is low and called for more effort from players. “The only way this will change is if we step up and show some fight,” he said.
Pressure Mounts on Nuno Espirito Santo
Nuno Espirito Santo’s tenure as manager has been marked by frustration, with the Portuguese unable to secure his first win despite a point in his opening match against Everton. He acknowledges that there are significant issues within the club but emphasizes the need for immediate change. “There is quality there, there is time, but nothing will happen if we don’t change,” he stated.
Nuno also highlighted the necessity of changing attitudes and preparation levels: “We must change our attitude, we must change the way we approach things, we must commit ourselves better, prepare better, work harder.” The manager believes that relying on time alone to fix issues is a mistake. “Realising we have time can be a mistake if we don’t change things around quickly,” he added.
West Ham’s campaign faces an uphill battle as they aim to avoid the Premier League relegation zone and maintain their status in English football’s top tier. The coming weeks will be crucial for Nuno Espirito Santo, who must navigate these challenges while leading his team towards stability and success.
