Midfield problems put West Ham and Edson Álvarez Lopetegui in danger
West Ham have had a difficult start to the season in the Premier League, and critics have not been slow to point to Edson Álvarez from Mexico as one of those responsible.
After a good debut in the English league, Alvarez is now facing questions about his performance. On Saturday, in West Ham’s 0-3 loss to Nottingham Forest, Álvarez was sent off at the end of the first half, when the team was already losing 0-1. With this sending off, his second of the season including the League Cup, criticism of the midfielder has intensified.
With just 11 points from 10 games, West Ham are 14th in the table, having lost half of their games. Some fans want Álvarez to be sent back to the bench in favor of Lewis Orford, an 18-year-old youngster who has yet to make his first team debut.
The team’s poor streak has also threatened the succession of coach Julen Lopetegui. If the poor results continue, the club could do without Lopetegui, who is rumored to be replaced by Edin Terzic, who led Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final.
