The draw against Watford, which followed another against Burnley and defeat by Charlton, has put pressure on Nuno Espírito Santo. West Ham are yet to register a single win in the Championship season, and their spending on Engels has been questioned. The £22m signing was meant to play in the Premier League, but so far, he has not made an appearance.
Amin Nabizada, an English-born Afghan international, has been Watford's most potent weapon in the Championship. He had never started a senior game prior to this season but has been ever-present in Watford's side so far this campaign. Nabizada put the hosts ahead with his second glorious goal in three appearances, but West Ham managed to equalise.
The draw has left West Ham's manager Nuno Espírito Santo in the firing line. The team's supporters have been vocal in their discontent, and the pressure is mounting on the manager to deliver results. West Ham's next match is against Swansea, and they will be looking to register their first win in the Championship season.
