"A hapless 3-0 defeat by bottom side Wolves on Saturday came as a stark reality check for the Hammers. They remain in the drop zone with 14 points from 20 games and are four points behind Nottingham Forest, who they host on Tuesday in what feels like a match that could define their season. But they will head into the fixture at London Stadium short of momentum, lacking confidence and unrest in the stands bubbling."
"It was embarrassing. Today was the worst performance that we have had. I don't recall one day that I felt so bad in a football pitch. It's not about my future. It's about how can we get out of this situation, how can we improve and get the results that make us climb the table. This is what we are concerned about."
"The Portuguese tactician took over from Graham Potter with the club 19th in September, but with the Hammers still languishing in the bottom three, is time running out for him and his players to affect the outcome? Nuno has gone 26 Premier League games without seeing his side keep a clean sheet, across spells at Nottingham Forest and West Ham. Only Steve Kean (30 between May 2011 and March 2012) has gone longer without a shutout among managers in the competition's history."
West Ham endured a damaging 3-0 defeat to bottom-side Wolves and remain in the relegation zone with 14 points from 20 games, four behind Nottingham Forest. The team faces Nottingham Forest at London Stadium short of momentum and confidence and with unrest among supporters. Only six teams with 14 points or fewer at this stage have avoided relegation historically. The performance drew sharp criticism from pundits, and manager Nuno Espírito Santo apologised, calling it the worst performance he has had and focusing on how to improve results. Nuno has now gone 26 Premier League games without a clean sheet.
