Lost all 4 home games! A coaching change was useless. The Premier League team suffered the worst home start in the club’s history.

In a match in the 8th round of the Premier League, West Ham United lost 0-2 to city rival Brentford at the London Stadium and suffered a home defeat.

This defeat disappointed the team, especially captain Declan Bowen, who expressed strong dissatisfaction with the team's performance. Throughout the game, West Ham performed sluggishly and lacked highlights on both offense and defense. Brentford opened the scoring in the 42nd minute from Igor Thiago, and Matthias Jensen scored another goal in the 5th minute of stoppage time to seal the victory.

This defeat also allowed West Ham to set an embarrassing record in team history: they became the first team in the club's history to lose all their first four home games in a single season. Previously, they had lost to Chelsea 1-5, Tottenham 0-3, and Crystal Palace 1-2 at home. Now with another defeat, the decline at home can no longer be concealed.

What is even more worrying is that the team has frequent problems in tactical organization and defensive stability. Facing Brentford's efficient counterattack and smooth cooperation, West Ham's defense repeatedly showed loopholes and failed to show due resistance. Throughout the game, not only were they at a disadvantage in ball possession, they also created very few offensive opportunities and were completely suppressed by their opponents.

Fans are angry and disappointed with the team's continued poor performance. Although the club fired former coach Graham Potter at the beginning of the season and quickly brought in the experienced Nuno Espiritu Santo to coach, the team's record did not improve.

After this campaign, West Ham United only accumulated 4 points after 8 league rounds and continues to rank last in the Premier League standings, only 2 points more than the second-to-last Wolves. The relegation situation is already very serious.

Head coach Nuno and his players are facing tremendous pressure. The next game will be a key test. The team must regain its form and improve its record as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to fall into a long-term relegation quagmire this season, or even face the risk of relegation. For this London team, which was once regarded as a mid-table powerhouse, it has now reached the moment when it must bottom out and rebound.
