FOOTBALL SHOULDN'T BE IMMUNE FROM DOING EVERYTHING IT CAN TO HELP THOSE WHO MAKE IT SO GREAT IN THE FIRST PLACE

- BY JEREMY CROSS

IF Lucas Paqueta isn't in the right frame of mind to do his job properly, why is he playing for West Ham?

Part of Nuno Espirito Santos role as manager is to make sure he's aware of the mental state of his players.

Being physically fit is one thing, but there is much more to it than this when it comes to the complex lives of footballers like Paqueta.

His behaviour in the defeat to Liverpool suggests someone who needs some help.

Two yellow cards in quick succession, to earn a red one, is a ridiculous thing to do.

Paqueta deserves credit for going on social media, to reveal possible reasons for why he did what he did.
