"Nuno Espirito Santo says he will speak to Lucas Paqueta to try and understand his frustration, following his baffling red card in West Ham's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday. The Hammers were already trailing to Alexander Isak's opener on the hour when Paqueta was shown two yellow cards in the space of 54 seconds, both for dissent."
"West Ham headed into the match having taken seven points from their previous three games, but failed to register a single shot on target at the London Stadium. Defeat means the Hammers have just 11 points in 13 Premier League games this season (W3 D2 L8) - only in 2010-11 (nine) and 2017-18 (10) have they had fewer at this stage of a campaign in the competition."
Lucas Paqueta was sent off after two yellow cards for dissent during West Ham's 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool, forcing a suspension after just returning from a previous ban. Alexander Isak opened the scoring and Cody Gakpo sealed the win in stoppage time. West Ham registered no shots on target and now have 11 points from 13 Premier League games, one of their worst starts in recent history. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo said he will speak with Paqueta to understand his frustrations, stressed the need for all players for the run-in, and insisted the result is not a step backwards.
