Paco Jemez recently joined West Ham’s coaching staff to help Nuno and the first team, but given his history and morals as an ex-manager, have his tactics already come into effect?

Upon joining the Hammers, not many would’ve known who Paco Jemez is, and in-fact, most wouldn’t have seen anything about him, however, on Matchday, he was seen before the game speaking to the players a lot, being actively involved, as well as also speaking to Nuno whilst on the bench throughout the 90. 

He primarily focuses on attacking Football, that’s his morals and what he stands for, of which he upholds to a high standard no matter where he goes. 

Taking that into consideration, isn’t it convenient how an attacking-minded coach joins West Ham and Nuno suddenly decides to go two-upfront as well as the Hammers looking dangerously threatening with attacking play for the first time in a long while… certainly interesting!   

In honesty, there’s no doubt that obviously Nuno has been planning to be more attacking, it’s exactly as to why he’s been so keen for forward reinforcements, and fortunately, Pablo and Taty have provided him hope in that department, though as Nuno said yesterday, “the squad still needs rebalancing”. 

I sincerely hope that Paco Jemez has had a significant effect on Nuno and the players because I seriously believe that he can be the yin to Nuno’s yang. Similar to David Moyes and Stuart Pierce if you will. 

This could be the key reinforcement that the Hammers might’ve been needing this entire time, but it has only been one game, we cannot get ahead of ourselves, but the signs are positive. I look forward to the future of these two. 

Who would’ve thought that the combination of an attacking-minded coach and three fit senior strikers is what can help you win a Premier League game… if we are to rebalance the squad, as Nuno wishes, it almost feels a guarantee that we won’t be discussing relegation, and our topics of discussion will suddenly be a lot more hopeful.
