West Ham boss makes admission ahead of Leeds clash
Next weekend, the Hammers face Leeds United on the final day of the season. In their loss to Newcastle on Sunday, the away fans were not pleased with the team and made their frustrations clear.
“It hurts a lot (hearing the fans chant that),” the West Ham boss said in his post-match press conference.
“This is our job, this is our life but the fans are right. Today they showed their anger and frustration, and they have reasons to do it.
“But it hurt the boys, it hurts us, and it hurts the club. That’s why I think this week we should finish the season with dignity and respect for the fans.”
Their last game of the season is at home to Leeds, which could be a huge one if Spurs fail to get a result on Tuesday night. Ahead of the game, Nuno Espirito Santo is adamant that ‘anything is possible’.
“This week we should do better, so we can show at the London Stadium, to our fans, a different performance, a different attitude in terms of the game.
“Anything is possible, let’s wait for Tuesday.
“Even though it’s difficult, we’re still alive, let’s see. There’s some hope, but more than anything is respect.
“Let’s prepare ourselves and show a better performance. This is what our fans deserve.”

Daniel Farke’s side must avoid complacency
West Ham could be relegated by the time both teams meet on the final day of the season. But just like the Whites putting in a fight to beat Brighton at Elland Road, the Hammers will want to end the season on a high.
Nuno’s men will love to give the fans a great send off at the end of the campaign, and Leeds will not have it easy.
This Leeds team have the opportunity to cap off a great season by finishing with maximum points, and they must take that chance. They are unbeaten against the Hammers this season, so they can easily get a result on the final day.
