It is really. All to do with style of play apparently according to West Ham fans, Lopetegeui is rated a lot higher than he should be.

What did he say?
feck knows, he was either doing some mumble rap or having a stroke. Whatever it was it wasn't worth listening to him.
Think it was something about it not being a red card.
He's an abomination of a commentator, so he is , so he did, so he can , so he was , so he should.
So wonder how many slaps you can get in before you get one.
Red for Kudus of course but the way every footballer is rolling himself on the ground because of a soft touch is laughable.
I'm not sure how it went at his later clubs (Sevilla was it?), but I remember Lopetegui's "style of play" at Real Madrid as being that players run around aimlessly and hopelessly in irrelevant spaces and the team never gets a handle on the game. Bafflingly bad stuff.
Not new though is it? We’re still the team everyone wants to beat. I didn’t say we’re not dogshit or playing well. There’s just something about beating man United that means something, even now.
Also, everyone enjoys the downfall of man United, except man United fans and that adds to the pressure that is playing for us.
Nowhere in my comment did I say our players are the quality we need or have the mentality we need and the fact we don’t have either of the above is part of the problem. We don’t have enough in the locker to combat all I have mentioned. It’s a mess, is this football club.
Richarlison tried to join in but got shoved over before he could do anything and get himself sent off too.
I mean that’s bollocks - we’re just capable of making any old crap look good.
Plus, West Ham are Spurs’ actual rivals so should certainly be ‘stepping up’ here.
Which club has moved to bigger and better things after Moyes? I don't know if that's a compliment or not though.
Didn't watch much of Sevilla either, noticed recently he looked defensively sound on the stats while not scoring that many.
In La Liga:
19/20 Scored 54, conceded 34
20/21 Scored 53, conceded 33
21/22 Scored 53, conceded 30
Consistency there. Doesn't look anything like that right now, and Moyes had West Ham scoring 60+ in 3 out of 5 seasons with the complaint he'd stick players behind the ball and play too defensively without much clue going forward.
Seems like an odd choice of manager to move to if you were hoping for scintilating attacking and now his defence is shocking too.
Richarlison getting unintentionally decked was really great.
Good news for us with arguably their best player in Kudus being suspended for the game against us next week.
Lopetegui did a good job at Wolves but his style of play really is very similar to Moyes so it wasn't an aesthetic upgrade at all and results against top sides are also worse as Moyes was beating Chelsea at home and Spurs away last season.
West Ham fans get loads of stick but really they want to watch their team playing in the style that Postacoglu has Spurs playing so they need to find a similar game.
I was surprised in the summer they didn't get Potter as with his style he'd do o.k with likes of Paqueta, Bowen, Kudus.
Morrison is completely incoherent.
Don’t worry West Ham, you’ll suddenly find your form next Sunday.
They won’t even have to get out of first gear if we perform the way we have been.
Really as though they just listened to clueless Twitter fans.
Who would be daft enough to do that?
I don't think that many wanted Lopetegui though as replacement. As said above the Sporting guy would've been very exciting to get and if not then another manager with that style.
West Ham will just have a nothing mid table season.
Agree completely, GSS is years past its sell by date
Actually used to enjoy BT's version more then they dumped it. They covered all the foreign leagues as well.
Ipswich v. Everton delayed for 15 mins due to turnstyle issues.
Stelling, George Best, Frank Mclintock and Rodney Marsh was the peak of it for me and that was 20 years ago
I am sure they could get better pundits, they don't have to be big names, just know their stuff.
We’re still the biggest scalp in the league despite not having been the best team for a while. Leeds have the same issue in the Championship.
Fulham take lead against Villa. Jimenez. He is starting to bang the goals in again.
Southampton lead Leicester. Archer.
Villa now level at Fulham. Rogers. 1-1. Deflected.
Nah, it’s Man City these days. They are so dominant.
Seems to me most fans of clubs would rather beat Man United than City. Probably because they actually know United fans they can wind up. Although it’s probably getting boring for them now.
Pereira has penalty saved.
Southampton score two goals against Leicester. Aribo.
Everton take lead at Ipswich. Ndiaye.
Ndiaye is a star.
Brighton take lead at Newcastle. Welbeck.
That makes United the lowest scoring team in the league as things stand.
Every little thing going wrong for United. They must have thought the wrap could wait for half-time only to concede with DeLigt forced off....
