At 23:00 on November 2, Beijing time, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest defeated West Ham United 3-0 at home. Regarding the result of this match, The Mirror has written that this defeat will bring a risk of sacking for West Ham United’s manager, Julen Lopetegui.
The Mirror states: The former Real Madrid manager’s task was to introduce a broader style of play and more excitement to East London after David Moyes left the club. Apart from the victory over Manchester United a week ago, Lopetegui’s time with the Hammers has been quite poor. He has only won three out of his first ten Premier League matches and was eliminated by Liverpool in the League Cup. Challenging a red-hot Nottingham Forest away was already difficult enough, but the Hammers also created their own problems. After being easily defeated 0-3 away, the Spaniard’s situation looks quite bleak, with calls for his dismissal growing louder.
Lopetegui received significant support from the club during the transfer window, spending £150 million to bolster the squad. Additionally, they managed to retain Brazilian players Paqueta and Bowen. While West Ham United do not seem to be embroiled in a relegation battle, many fans would expect more given their expenditure.
