Cover for Antonio and 'a mentality shift' needed in this transfer window
West Ham have got to work with what they have got - and that is regardless of whether manager Julen Lopetegui stays or is sacked.
With no additions, there is a squad there that is good enough to compete and do something with.
There is an argument that they need another striker given Michail Antonio's accident because it is clear to see they are struggling in that position. They create lots of chances but just can't convert them.
More than anything, though, there needs to be a mentality shift from the players because they lack the ability to run and work hard in and out of possession.
I don't think the overall attitude has been good enough and teams are just rolling them over. That is what is disappointing the fans.
I don't know if there is a lack of respect for the manager or understanding in what he expects, but there doesn't seem to be any leaders.
The players are showing no demands on one another to be better so in this window it seems more important to regroup and get that right.
