West Ham and Everton Struggle Amid Tactical Issues

West Ham United's disappointing performance this season is attributed to poor management of summer signings and unclear tactical direction under Julen Lopetegui. The decision to sign injury-prone Niclas Fullkrug, who has yet to start a Premier League game, has backfired, leaving Michail Antonio to lead the line with minimal impact. This transfer gamble, along with underutilized players like Luis Guilherme and Crysencio Summerville, has left fans questioning Lopetegui's strategy and his best starting XI. Meanwhile, Everton's struggles continue in both the Premier League and WSL, with defensive issues leading to early goals against teams like Crystal Palace, highlighting managerial shortcomings. Both clubs face mounting pressure to improve results, with challenging fixtures ahead for West Ham.
