West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo apologized for an “embarrassing” 3-0 loss to last-place Wolves that leaves the club facing a critical relegation battle following nine games without a win.
West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo issued a stark apology following a disastrous 3-0 defeat to bottom-of-the-table Wolves, a result he labeled “embarrassing.”
The Hammers trailed by three goals before halftime and failed to register a single shot on target, handing Wolves their first win and clean sheet of the season.
The loss extends West Ham’s winless streak to nine matches, leaving the club four points adrift of Premier League safety.
Reflecting on the abject performance at Molineux, Nuno admitted to a complete failure of tactical execution and individual composure.
“I don’t recall one day that I felt so bad on a football pitch like today,” the manager confessed.
Experts Paul Merson and Jamie Redknapp delivered a scathing post-match assessment, with Merson declaring the team “relegated” unless they secure a victory in their upcoming “cup final” against Nottingham Forest this Tuesday.
The club’s statistics paint a grim picture, with 41 goals conceded in 20 games—their worst defensive record at this stage since 1965.
Despite recent signings like Pablo and links to Taty Castellanos, Nuno insisted that the current squad must find the “fight” required to survive.
He noted, “We have to apologize to the fans, those that travelled today, it was embarrassing,” as supporters were heard booing their own players during the match.
