West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo has issued a stern rallying cry to his squad, demanding a far more clinical and resilient performance in their remaining Premier League engagements. This call to arms follows a chastening 3. 0 defeat at the hands of Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, a result that has left the Hammers. � faithful deeply concerned. In the scheme of things, Nuno. �s men failed to give a good account of themselves, and the Portuguese tactician minced no words in his assessment.. �We must react and perform better in these final games. The lion. �s share of responsibility lies with the players on the pitch to show character and fight for every ball,. � Nuno told GoalZaza in an exclusive interview. He stressed that the powers that be at the London Stadium expect a substantial response, and the coming weeks will test the mettle of his entire squad. For the Nigerian contingent at West Ham, the performance was particularly disappointing as the Super Eagles invitees in the team struggled to impose their usual authority in midfield and attack. The defeat leaves the Hammers in a precarious position, and all eyes now turn to their next outing, where a formidable response is non negotiable. At the end of the day, Nuno knows that only points will silence the growing criticism. In Lagos, fans gathered at popular viewing centres in Surulere and Ikeja endured a frustrating afternoon. At the Lagos City Hall viewing centre, supporters sat in stunned silence as Brentford. �s goals flew in, with one gentleman in a West Ham jersey shaking his head and muttering,. �This is not the West Ham we know from the days of Kanu Nwankwo.. � Another fan, sipping a bottle of Maltina, lamented,. �Nuno must wake up the boys o, because at this rate, we go dey look Europa from outside.. � The atmosphere was thick with disappointment, but as is the Nigerian spirit, hope still flickers that the Irons can recover their form before the season ends.
