West Ham vs Brentford: Line-ups revealed as Hammers look to kick on under Nuno

‘We’ve got to carry our followers again’ says Nuno

October 21, 2025


West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo says the Hammers should ‘carry our followers again’ after a sparsely-populated London Stadium booed them off towards Brentford.

Targets in every half from Igor Thiago and Mathias Jensen gave the Bees a win that might, and will, have been by an even bigger margin.

Thiago had a second aim dominated out for offside as Brentford dominated and West Ham misplaced a fifth successive house recreation for the second time of their historical past.

Nuno mentioned: “That was robust. Not only for me. It was robust for our followers, for our gamers, for everyone.

“The primary quarter-hour issues had been clicking and the workforce had been organised and mixing effectively. After that we misplaced composure.

“Credit score to Brentford, a bodily workforce that put us below issues. Throw-ins, corners and the monentum of the sport modified.

“Day-after-day we’re studying. Each second. We’re not going to sleep.

“It’s a problem for all of us. It’s as much as us to vary the momentum and convey our followers again to assist us. Win our particular person duels. In 4 days time we’d like a giant enchancment.”

The Hammers, nineteenth within the desk with one win thus far, face Leeds on Friday evening.
