Early pressure is already mounting on the shoulders of Julen Lopetegui but three West Ham stars have spoken up for the manager.
There has been something of a pile-on by the media and some fans when it comes to Julen Lopetegui at West Ham.
Understandably so given the performances of the Hammers under the new head coach so far.
There has been little sign of anything exciting or fresh from West Ham as yet.
That’s despite spending £155m on nine new signings in the summer and being widely regarded to have ‘won the transfer window’.
That kind of spending brings pressure.
So too does the team being booed off, manager jeered for his substitutions and thousands of fans walking out en masse with 20 minutes to play in a 3-0 defeat against one of your biggest rivals.
Throw in the fact West Ham’s owners are far from impressed with what they’ve seen from Lopetegui and it’s been something of a nightmare start.
The Hammers have lost their first three league games of a new season for the first time in the club’s 129-year.
