For the second time in West Ham‘s last 10 games, the Mexican Edson Álvarez He was sent off – this time in his club’s 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest -, which led English fans to criticize his stay at the club, since they simply do not see qualities in him for the Premier League.
Why was Edson Álvarez expelled?
At the end of September, the América youth player had received the red for a harsh challenge on Mohamed Salah in the Hammers’ elimination against Liverpool in the League Cup, which caused him to receive strong criticism from the press and fans, in addition to being relegated to the bench for a couple of games.
Now, when it seemed that he was regaining his confidence after looking solid in the victory against Manchester United on the previous date in the Premier, his way of performing once again generated accusations, as he left his team in a terrible position.
In the 45th minute, seconds before the end of the first half and with the match 1-0 in favor of Forest, Álvarez went to run over Anthony Elanga to take his second yellow and thus went to the locker room, which triggered the annoyance of the followers.
What did West Ham fans say about Edson Álvarez being red?
The various comments that appeared on social networks showed the annoyance about the Mexican, whom they described as “a reckless player”, “a liability” or “a bully” that he doesn’t have much to do at the club or in the Premier League.
Edson Alvarez has been incredibly dissappointing in a West Ham shirt. So wreckless and not even as good at defending as advertised.

Edson Alvarez is such a liability. Nowhere near disciplined enough for this level.

Edson Alvarez. Zero IQ. Just run around aimlessly and look busy.

Embarrassing first half performance capped off by Edson Álvarez letting the team down yet again with his thug behaviour.
We played the game like a training session, one step forward, two steps back every fucking week with this team.
