West Ham's under-pressure manager Julen Lopetegui tells the club's supporters to reserve their judgement on him until the end of the season.

Summer signing Rodriguez and Edson Alvarez have not yet gelled as a midfield partnership. Their lack of pace was exploited in the last two games. A possible solution could be playing Carlos Soler, the season-long loan signing from Paris Saint-Germain, alongside Alvarez.

West Ham United's embarrassing defeat in the EFL Cup game against Liverpool could have been the final nail in the coffin for Lopetegui.
