Julen Lopetegui is off to a shaky start at West Ham but supporters remain optimistic after a 'really good' transfer window
Julen Lopetegui is off to a shaky start at West Ham but supporters remain optimistic after a 'really good' transfer windowRules lessen that impact. Their most recent revenues were only £38m apart, with Villa’s the lowest. Alexander Isak is probably the best player from the three, but Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus are all contenders.
His side have scored just twice from open play in the league, taken the joint-fourth fewest shots on target per game and conceded the fourth most. Their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea was laughable in its abjectness, summed up by twin images of Nicolas Jackson blazing past Edson Alvarez, a man not built for speed or agility. That most fans cannot seem to decide whether Lopetegui is a defensive or attacking manager sums up the tactical inconsistency.
“We are one of three teams in the Premier League that have used every single substitution in every game so far. He’s blatantly trying and testing things, and that’s a positive. What would confirm my positive would be if he now makes a change in the midfield where we seem to be getting overrun. We need is ball-playing, ball-carrying midfielders.”
“It’s a bit difficult at the moment to suggest that we’ve had a really good window,” Carlaw says. “On paper we probably had the best window out of all the rest of the league, but until they actually start playing and delivering, it’s hard to say.” “The position he’s in alongside Mark Noble gives me confidence that they’re managing that situation and keeping Sullivan away from the day to day.”
