That was additionally proven within the stands, with empty seats dotted in every single place across the London Stadium because of a boycott towards the working of the membership. It created a hole ambiance, which worsened because of the efficiency on the pitch.

“West Ham, with that squad of players, no matter who the manager is, were always going to have a problem because I don’t think they can cope physically.”

The numbers again that up. This season, West Ham rank second-bottom for distance coated within the Premier League. Solely Chelsea have coated much less floor, however the Blues have the second-highest possession proportion within the division. They needn’t set excessive distance numbers as a result of they’re accountable for the ball in the precise areas.

West Ham have the fifth-lowest possession however aren’t protecting the bottom off-the-ball. Their sprinting, pace and excessive depth numbers are all within the backside three – whereas the one working metric during which West Ham rank extremely in is distance strolling.

“We still don’t have a clear idea. We started well [against Brentford] but were not able to sustain it. So we don’t have it.”

The extra you have a look at West Ham’s numbers, the bleaker the scenario will get. If the Hammers handle to work onerous sufficient to get right into a duel, they don’t get on high.

It is even decrease than backside aspect Wolves.

To vary the narrative round West Ham, Nuno has not referred to as for his group to undertake a brand new enjoying type – however to create a brand new sort of participant, because the at present crop is less than scratch by way of work ethic or high quality.
