Nuno Espírito Santo has made a dreadful start at West Ham. He has taken one point from four games in charge and is already in danger of losing mutinous supporters after naming ludicrous starting XIs during his shambolic defeats by Brentford and Leeds.
Do it once and it could have been passed off as an experiment. No such luck here, though. There was bewilderment when Nuno played a right-back on the left, a left-back on the right, the ponderous duo of Tomas Soucek and Andrew Irving in midfield and Lucas Paquetá as a false 9 against Brentford. Nobody was surprised when West Ham, who were fortunate it finished 2-0, produced one of the worst performances by a Premier League team.
