Edson Álvarez, West Ham United midfielder He is not going through his best moment in the Premier League, due to the fact that his lack of play combined with his indiscipline that has cost him to leave his squad numerically inferior, is beginning to generate criticism from the English press.

It seems that the member of the Mexican team has been weighed down too much by the injury he suffered in the last Copa América 2024, since on his return to the fields he has not had it all with him and along with a notable drop in his performance in the midfield of the “Hammers”, is now questioned for the excess of yellow cards and for the expulsions he has suffered.

It should be noted that Álvarez was also questioned for the alleged death threat that the Argentine newspaper Olé handled in an exchange of words that he had with the Albiceleste team last weekend in the duel where they lost to Chelsea 3-0.

To go no further, Álvarez is being the target of questions because the team led by the Spanish Julen Lopetegui, added in its last two games defeats against Chelsea 3-0 in the Premier League and against Liverpool 5-1, which cost them elimination in the Carabao Cup, where they won. It was early due to an expulsion

For this reason, the press in England has taken the Mexican as the target of their questions, considering that he has not joined the team for this season. and indicate that discipline is a key factor.

In the midst of the questions, The Athletic’s analysis stands out which states that: “Álvarez has not yet regained the form he showed in his debut 2023-24 season. He has not fitted in with his new teammate, the Argentine Guido Rodríguez in midfield and his lack of discipline has not improved: he has been reprimanded in the club’s last three games, in addition to having received eleven yellow cards in the most amount than any other West Ham United player, the previous season.”

This medium ended its publication with the possible explanation for its drop in performance. “The fact of not having done a preseason could be a factor that explains his lack of form in the games,” was part of the analysis they do. to try to explain the loss of play of the player from Mexico.
