West Ham United fans have told Hammers News what they want to see from Nuno Espirito Santo in what could well be his final game in charge of the club.
The relegation battle in the Premier League comes down to the final day of the season as West Ham United hope for a miracle.
Nuno wants to make YOU proud – so where do you think we finish in the table when all is said and done on Sunday?!
Nuno’s side must beat Leeds and hope that David Moyes leads Everton to victory over Tottenham. That is the only scenario that would change things at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Last week, Nuno was savaged for his poor team selection against Newcastle. Heading into Sunday, fans have told Hammers News the changes they want to see against Leeds.
West Ham fans urge Nuno to change formation vs Leeds
Indeed, the website asked its readers and subscribers across Facebook and TalkingPoints for the changes they want to see on Sunday.
The response was predictable, with many calling for a more attacking formation than the five-man defence deployed on that dreadful afternoon at St James’ Park. Fans want to see the return of a system that uses only four defenders.
One fan wrote: “4-4-2 [the] only way, anything else and we go down without a fight.”
Pretend you’re Nuno – what changes are you making ahead of Leeds? 👀
If anyone says keep the back five, I'll be shocked 😂
Another said: “Play 4 at [the] back for a start.”
“Play 4-4-2,” said one supporter.
“Back four,” added another.
“4-4-1-1, we have enough going forward we just don’t concede an early goal, just sign off with a win,” replied one subscriber.
This response read: “4-2-3-1 is my choice.”

Why West Ham vs Leeds could be Nuno’s last game in charge
Clearly, everything depends on what happens on Sunday.
Still, the fact is that West Ham remain favourites for relegation and that will have an impact on what happens in the dugout going forward.
After all, Hammers News understands that Nuno is set to leave West Ham if they are relegated from the Premier League.
It may not come to that of course but, at this stage, relegation does sadly feel like the most likely outcome.
Former West Ham midfielder Scott Parker is an option to replace Nuno, with the 45-year-old out of work after he left Burnley earlier this season.
