Pundit shares what sources have told him about West Ham’s plans for Lopetegui

 

West Ham United suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend.

The Hammers have been beaten in five of their ten league matches this season, collecting just 11 points after ten games.

They have a must-win home game against Everton this weekend, and the pressure is mounting on the West Ham board to dismiss manager Julen Lopetegui.

However, talkSPORT pundit Jim White has revealed that the club will not be so quick to pull the trigger.

He claims a club source told him (via talkSPORT), “We hope and expect to do well against Everton.

“If we were to lose five nil against them, he would still, Lopetegui, be the manager on Monday morning.

“We are people who honour contracts, and we expect the manager to come good. We have to give him time.”

West Ham have decided to throw their arm around Lopetegui even though a loss to the Toffees could see them leapfrog the Hammers in the standings.

However, Lopetegui took over a squad that conceded 74 goals last season and has not improved the defence. Only three teams have conceded more goals than West Ham this term.

The midfield has looked disjointed, and the attack is struggling.

The West Ham faithful are growing increasingly frustrated with the team’s performances. A loss against Everton could spark further protests and calls for change.
