West Ham suffers historic four home losses under Nuno Espirito Santo's management

West Ham United suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Brentford, marking their fourth consecutive home loss at the start of the Premier League season for the first time in club history. The match coincided with a boycott organized by supporters protesting against the club's board, and fans who attended expressed their frustration by booing the team off the field. Brentford dominated the game, with goals from Igor Thiago and Mathias Jensen, and West Ham's defense was notably poor, leading to 22 shots on goal for Brentford compared to West Ham's seven. Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo acknowledged the team's problems, stating, "We have a problem," and emphasized the need for change to regain fan support and improve performances. Despite making several lineup changes, including playing no recognized striker, Nuno refused to blame team selection for the loss but expressed concern about the team's physical competitiveness. He also highlighted the importance of unity between players and fans to overcome the current struggles.
