Following on from the rumoured fall-out between Julen Lopetegui and [Mohammed Kudus](https://www.claretandhugh.info/play-at-a-higher-level-kudus-gives-reason-for-hammers-exit/) at the Brentford match, new reports have confirmed what had been rumoured – that other dressing room bust-ups have indeed taken place at West Ham. It is clearly not a happy place right now for head coach or his players: Lopetegui is clearly right on the edge .
The latest report in todays _dailymail.co.uk c_onfirms that Lopetegui has had a massive falling out with defender [_Jean-Clair Todibo_](https://www.claretandhugh.info/jean-clair-todibo-fitness-update-for-arsenal-visit/) just last Saturday during the match against Arsenal:
“_Mail Sport can reveal that the Spanish Coach was involved in an intense verbal dispute with summer signing Jean Clair Todibo at half time of their 5-2 loss against Arsenal…_
_Todibo made clear his frustration during the break which escalated into a row with Lopetegui.”_
How this impacts the dressing room is only too obvious from the results on the pitch. Falling out with one of the club’s most expensive summer signings cannot be good for morale or esprit de corps. You have to feel sorry for club captain Jarrod Bowen who must feel he has inherited a poisoned chalice and be stuck between a rock and hard place just now.
