West Ham's bright new era under Julen Lopetegui has started in doom and gloom - which was further compounded with Saturday's 3-0 loss by Chelsea.
The Hammers were comprehensively defeated by their bitter rivals at the London Stadium - a result that saw them suffer a third loss in their opening five Premier League games of the season.
Once more it was their third home defeat out of a possible three - the first time the club have suffered that fate in their history.
A section of West Ham fans got their wish when David Moyes left at the end of the season but pressure is mounting on Lopetegui - with some supporters walking out early during Saturday's derby capitulation.
