Sport nationGary Neville Slams West Ham’s Tactics as ‘Utter Madness’
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has lambasted West Ham United’s tactics during their dismal performance against Arsenal at the London Stadium. The Hammers suffered a resounding defeat, and Neville was left perplexed by manager Julen Lopetegui’s decision-making.
Neville specifically took issue with West Ham’s persistence in playing out from the back, despite trailing 3-0 to Arsenal. He exclaimed: “It’s just utter madness. When you’re 3-0 down against Arsenal, just hit it long into Antonio. They can’t get out. I just don’t understand it.”
Neville’s criticism highlights the growing concerns surrounding Lopetegui’s tactics and decision-making. The West Ham manager has come under increasing pressure, and this defeat will only exacerbate the situation.
The Hammers’ performance was widely panned, with many of their players struggling to make an impact. Neville’s comments serve as a damning indictment of Lopetegui’s approach, which appears to be at odds with the team’s strengths and capabilities.
As West Ham prepares to face Leicester City in their next match, Lopetegui will be under immense pressure to deliver a vastly improved performance. The Hammers’ faithful will be expecting a more cohesive and effective game plan, one that leverages the team’s strengths and minimizes their weaknesses.
