Tim Sherwood Takes a Dig at West Ham Manager Julen Lopetegui Over Fantasy Premier League Woes
Former Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood appears dissatisfied with his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team’s performance this season, taking a subtle jab at West Ham United’s under-pressure Spanish head coach in the process.
Speaking on Sky Sports (7 December, 13:11), Sherwood remarked, “Lopetegui at the moment, and Gary O’Neil, I’m in a bit of a hole, and I need to find the solution. I’m going to give it my best and keep trying.
But unfortunately, you can’t get the points. I had more points two weeks ago on the bench than on my pitch. That says it all.”
Lately, questions about Julen Lopetegui’s future have surfaced.
However, the Wolves hierarchy has given him another chance, with Lopetegui set to manage their clash against West Ham on 9 December (Fabrizio Romano, 5 December).
West Ham United has endured a poor start to the season, securing just four Premier League victories and languishing near the relegation zone.
Recent results have further disappointed fans, who have witnessed some of the league’s poorest football at the London Stadium.
Lopetegui has struggled to maximize the potential of his talented squad, highlighting his inability to inspire the team.
Discontent among West Ham fans is evident, with chants for Lopetegui’s sacking erupting during the 3-1 league loss at King Power on 3 December.
The club’s hierarchy faces mounting pressure to make a managerial change.
Delaying a decision could exacerbate the situation as the team’s struggles deepen.
Even a win against Wolves may do little to strengthen Lopetegui’s case for staying on.
With the atmosphere at the London Stadium increasingly toxic, decisive action is required.
Club chairman David Sullivan must act swiftly to course-correct West Ham’s season, and parting ways with the Spanish coach seems the only viable solution.
