Nuno Espírito Santo is losing support of West Ham squad as morale deteriorates

• Player concern over man-management and tactics

• Hammers host Forest in crucial game on Tuesday

Nuno Espírito Santo is in danger of losing the support of West Ham’s squad because of concerns over his man-management and tactics. 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. The indications are that West Ham, who are in 18th place and lie four points below Forest, will stick with their manager but his methods are coming under increased scrutiny.
