"The east London club are at increasing risk of relegation from the Premier League after their 3-0 defeat by Wolves on Saturday and it is understood that the mood at the London Stadium is rapidly deteriorating. Nuno has struggled badly since replacing Graham Potter in September, winning only two of his 15 games in charge, and is under growing pressure before Tuesday's crunch game against his former side, Nottingham Forest."
"Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation have described Nuno as distant and uncommunicative on a day-to-day basis, while it is understood that there is frustration over confusing training methods and team selections. Morale is slipping and what is perceived as a lack of clear communication has left some players feeling that they have no way of forcing their way into the Portuguese's plans."
Nuno Espirito Santo has won only two of 15 games since replacing Graham Potter in September and faces growing pressure before facing Nottingham Forest. West Ham sit 18th, four points below Forest, and face increasing relegation risk after a 3-0 home defeat to Wolves. Players describe Nuno as distant and uncommunicative, citing confusing training methods and team selections that have left morale slipping. Several players feel alienated and say they have been played out of position. Tactical choices have included playing full-backs on the wrong side and starting without a recognised forward in defeats by Leeds and Brentford, while defensive substitutions have coincided with fading performances.
