'Lopetegui needs to improve and fast'

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Joe asked: West Ham were woeful again this weekend. Despite spending over £100m in the summer, they are worse than they were last season (which wasn’t great!). Do you think Julen Lopetegui will be sacked this week?

Phil answered: No, I don't think Lopetegui will be sacked this week. West Ham’s owners are not known for being trigger happy when it comes to managers - and you suspect he might also need a hefty pay-off having only been there a matter of months.
