The stats make grim reading.

With four draws and six losses, it is the first time West Ham have gone 10 Premier League games without a win since a run of 11 between December 2006 and March 2007.

Only Bournemouth with 16 have dropped more top-flight points from winning positions than the Hammers’ 15, while West Ham have also failed to win any of their past five matches when scoring first.

Boss Nuno Espirito Santo, who guided Nottingham Forest to Europe last season before being dismissed three games into 2025-26, has now picked up 11 points from 16 matches since he replaced the sacked Graham Potter in September.

That is the worst start from any West Ham boss in the Premier League era, with the back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Burnley in November – Nuno’s only two successes – quickly fading from memory.

Former West Ham and England goalkeeper Rob Green, speaking on Sky Sports, feels change is needed at London Stadium.

“Ten games without a win you’re wondering, where is the answer now? Where do West Ham go now? Where does Nuno go from here? You can’t see things continuing much longer with results like this,” said Green.

“They need at least 30 points to have any chance of staying up and they’re not going to get close at this rate.

“I don’t see Nuno staying. I just can’t see it how you can go this long without winning a game. Tonight wasn’t the worst performance by a long shot and they still didn’t get a result.

“It’s heartbreaking but I don’t see another answer. It’s looking more and more an impossible task.”
