Right here’s how followers reacted after Tottenham take the piss out of 10-men West Ham after a 4-1 win with tweets and chants sung…

@YouLoveCess: Lopetegui is clueless! As soon as once more we’ve been uncovered and it’s not a shock has each sport ever performed there was warning indicators and vulnerability in how he units this staff up. These man are dying and it’s all right down to this no aura head coach…

@rickwhufc: Agree with me or not Kudus perspective stinks & his purple at the moment is the epitome of every little thing improper with this staff beneath Loputegui, expertise unbelievable however shit perspective. Paqueta wants dropping, too open in mid, we want a brand new GK in January, can’t even wait til the summer season he’s stunning

@LewisIsley: 8 video games and the supervisor is already carried out

@Jus_Wilson: I hate to say it so early into the season however performances like this make you marvel if it’s ever going to click on with this supervisor / staff combo

@CraigOrme_WWFC: Lopetegui will not be a superb supervisor, who would have guessed

@ApexSWSC: I don’t even know what to say anymore, put in an important first half and had been unfortunate to not be main then we go a throw all that work away in 7 minutes and completed it off with a silly purple from Kudus. I’m not one to need a supervisor out so rapidly however I believe he has the following 2/3 video games to offer one thing or he’s gone I’m afraid. You merely cant spend this type of cash and shift your entire form of the staff from final 12 months and nonetheless not get outcomes. I’m conscious we have now had a tricky begin when it comes to the groups we have now performed however that’s no excuse. United at residence subsequent week with out Kudus is gonna be tough however not less than we are able to see Summerville shine, I need no Paqueta close to that line-up subsequent week and lets hope we are able to bounce again robust.

@JustPayTheMoney: I converse for all West Ham followers once I say sack Lopetegui and convey Moyes again to save lots of our membership!

@cockneyboywhu: Anybody obtained moyesys quantity

@KooyleCS: Guess we’re again to the many years the place nothing occurs. I’ll nonetheless be round. COYI

@WestHamJoshV: New supervisor, similar issues. West Ham are the one staff within the league that arrange defensively however can’t really defend. Abysmal.

@THFCHarvey18: Hope you loved your cup last lads

Doing this then getting battered 4-1 in your Cup Ultimate. Such a tinpot membership pic.twitter.com/MrZZNl0qeX
