West Ham Faces Fan Boycott Amid Defeat and Tactical Uncertainty Under Nuno

West Ham United faces significant challenges under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who has yet to secure a win in his first home game, a 2-0 defeat to Brentford marked by fan protests and low attendance. The atmosphere at the London Stadium is tense, with supporters boycotting matches and expressing anxiety and frustration, which Nuno acknowledges is affecting player performance and morale on the pitch. Tactical decisions by Nuno, including experimenting with players out of position and formations, have not yielded positive results, leading to confusion and lackluster displays, although there have been signs of defensive improvement since his arrival. Both Nuno and captain Jarrod Bowen expressed disappointment in the team's performance, emphasizing the need for significant improvement to regain fan support and change the current momentum. Despite the poor results, Nuno remains focused on motivating the squad and adapting tactics, with upcoming matches seen as critical opportunities to reverse fortunes. The club's struggles are compounded by a lack of attacking threat and the challenge of uniting a disheartened fanbase amid ongoing protests against club management.
