West Ham United have appointed Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager, and Martin Allen believes that he could drop Lucas Paqueta from the team after what he did against Everton. The Brazilian midfielder tried to get Vitaly Mykolenko sent off with his play-acting, and Allen believes that his theatrics might not go down well with the newly appointed manager.Nuno to disciple Lucas Paqueta?He said: “I didn’t like that, to be honest with you.“It’s something that the manager will address with him to explain that West Ham don’t want to play like that to get somebody sent off.“I thought he played well against Everton, but that is something that Nuno will be pulling him into his office for.“He’ll shut the door, one-to-one, show him the clip, he went down holding his face, but was hit in the ribs, it’s something that is the way of playing in South America. It’s not something that referees want in the Premier League, and I don’t think the West Ham fans like it either.“More Stories / Latest NewsReport: 23-year-old first team ace wants to leave Sunderland in JanuaryOct 4 2025, 22:00Report: Nuno backed to drop West Ham star after what he did against EvertonOct 4 2025, 21:30Sky Journalist reveals one player Newcastle did not want to spend money forOct 4 2025, 21:00Paqueta is a key playerNuno has recently dropped James Ward-Prowse from the West Ham team.
