Saved by Kudus: West Ham flop with 13% passing let them down. West Ham United dropped more points at home after a 1-1 home draw with high-flying Brighton and Hove Albion. The Hammers may look back on the game with disappointment at merely getting a point against the Seagulls, after giving Fabian Hurzeler’s side a tough test. After the first 45 minutes saw no goals, it was the visitors who took the lead at the London Stadium. Hammers goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski did not exactly cover himself in glory, tamely punching a Brighton freekick as far as Mats Wieffer. With the…
Exclusive: Underwhelmed West Ham lay it on the line to Julen Lopetegui after fortunate draw. West Ham were extremely fortunate again as they got away with a draw against Brighton and now the club has laid it on the line to Julen Lopetegui. The Hammers were jeered off at half-time and full-time of the 1-1 draw with Brighton at the London Stadium. Once again West Ham were fortunate to get a result as Brighton missed a host of gilt-edged chances. Julen Lopetegui admirably returned from Spain to lead the team after the death of his father. That has earned him…
Lopetegui’s Cryptic Comments Reveal His Cunning Plan West Ham United v Brighton & Hove Albion. Premier League, London Stadium, Saturday 21 December 2024, 3pm ‘Lopetegui the man’ deserves considerable sympathy and kudos for making it back to London Stadium today after an emotional few days. I take my hat off to him. It would have been easy enough for The Spaniard to miss the Brighton game, but to his enormous credit, he was back answering questions in the pre-match press conference. Interpreting and decoding his cryptic comments is becoming a regular pre-match challenge. Apart from the ‘one little problem’ player…
Lopetegui axes Mavropanos after ‘ridiculous’ mistake – Predicted West Ham United XI vs Brighton. West Ham United will return to Premier League action on Saturday, as they take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the London Stadium. The Hammers have picked up four points from their previous two matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth, and they will be looking to build on that with a victory against the Seagulls this weekend. With Brighton on a four-game winless run, West Ham have a perfect opportunity to seal maximum points from the home encounter. Lukasz Fabianski pulled off some stunning saves last…
He’s All Yours | Hammers Can’t Match Spurs Mega Offer Reports that Tim Steidten could be the trump card for West Ham in a January transfer battle for Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck may be wide of the mark. It has been suggested that the Hammers are battling with Spurs for the signature of the towering defender Bisseck. However, Claret & Hugh have been in consistent dialogue with a senior source at the London Stadium over the past few days, and it is clear that spending big money on a central defender is not a priority. £40m was spent on…
Loan Deal for “Real Deal’ Could Be Great Deal For Hammers The urgency to sign a striker has further intensified, and it seems, according to Martin’s article this morning, that West Ham are working on a loan deal for Evan Ferguson at Brighton & Hove Albion, so I thought I’d lift the lid on the background to this young colossus. In 2021 the 20 year old burst onto the scene in the Premier League, having made his debut two years earlier at Bohemians. Incredibly at such a young age he has amassed 18 appearances for the Republic of Ireland scoring…
Enzo Maresca boosts West Ham’s hopes of signing Mohammed Kudus replacement as Chelsea set price. West Ham beat Chelsea to sign Mohammed Kudus from Ajax but now they are looking to Stamford Bridge to replace him. Mohammed Kudus came close to signing for Chelsea before the Hammers landed him in a £38.5m deal from Ajax. Brighton and Arsenal were in the mix too but West Ham were able to win the race by agreeing to include an £85m release clause in his contract. That is active next summer. But Kudus has cut a frustrated figure under Julen Lopetegui and the…
Julen Lopetegui shares mystery West Ham injury problem ahead of crunch Brighton clash. West Ham United head coach Julen Lopetegui desperately needs a win against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. Graham Potter is allegedly being lined up to replace beleaguered Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui in the West Ham hot-seat. Should the Hammers lose to Brighton, the pressure will really crank up on Lopetegui ahead of the Southampton clash on Boxing Day. However, a win against the Seagulls and the narrative would switch quite dramatically. The West Ham players at least showed a bit of fight on Monday night against Bournemouth, and…
Lucas Paqueta has just given David Sullivan a very easy decision to make after majorly ungrateful request. So Lucas Paqueta wants out of West Ham United it seems. I say if it’s at all possible, let him go when the January transfer window opens. Lucas Paqueta is not a £51 million player, and West Ham seriously overpaid when we signed him from Lyon in 2022. His profligate nature when in possession of the football is obviously why no truly top clubs took a punt on him, and it’s why he failed at AC Milan. The Brazilian’s off-field problems haven’t helped…
Lopetegui axes Mavropanos in two changes – West Ham predicted XI v Brighton. Julen Lopetegui could axe Konstantinos Mavropanos from the West Ham starting XI for the clash against Brighton on Saturday. The Hammers welcome Fabian Hurzeler’s side to the London Stadium on Saturday (21 December), hoping to secure a win after a draw last time out. The Irons conceded a late equaliser against Bournemouth as Enes Unal scored a wonderful free kick to cancel out Lucas Paqueta’s penalty. For the clash against the Seagulls, Lopetegui could start Niclas Fullkrug and recall Jean-Clair Todibo to the starting XI which could…
