The 27-year-old midfielder did exactly the same thing away at Liverpool in the Carabao Cup five weeks ago.
Julen Lopetegui actually admitted just a few weeks ago that he sat down with Alvarez and discussed how he needs to address his disciplinary problems.
It’s simply not good enough from the Mexican. The Premier League is hard enough as it is, and Alvarez losing his head today meant that it was incredibly hard for his teammates to compete with Forest.
In my opinion, this can’t keep happening, and the former Ajax man should be someone who Lopetegui tries to move on in January or the summer at the very latest.
However, there was one funny moment that came from Alvarez’s sending off
Why Edson Alvarez sending off had Forest fans in fits
The Mexico international getting a red card was nothing out of the ordinary.
His recklessness has caused us problems time and time again over the past 15 months.
But something he did after his dismissal was actually quite funny.
As Alvarez left the pitch, the commentators highlighted how Alvarez must have thought he was playing at Old Trafford, after he got lost trying to find the tunnel!
The Hammers man went to the corner flag and tried to exit the pitch there, but then realised he was at the complete wrong side of the field.
The Nottingham Forest fans were in stitches and poked fun at West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez.
It was a moment where the salt was well and truly rubbed into the Mexican, but he’s only got himself to blame.
He has to sort out his recklessness, or be moved on, it really is as simple as that.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Lucas Paqueta were guilty of letting Alex Moreno burst into the box without obstruction, allowing the Spaniard to set up Chris Wood for the goal.
Lopetegui must repeat what he did in the win against Manchester United last weekend by making at least one change at half-time again, with a target man now desperately needed.
Julen Lopetegui must bring Michail Antonio on for West Ham United v Nottingham Forest
West Ham had more possession than Forest in the first half, but have had little joy going forward, failing to register a single shot until added time, let alone one on target.
Therefore, it is imperative that Lopetegui makes changes up front if he wants his team to come back and claim all three points.
The Spanish tactician dropped Antonio to the bench for only the second time in the league this season and it appears the decision has not paid off.
It is evident that the Hammers need more firepower in attack and the Jamaica international is the man to provide it, although he has netted once in nine league appearances this term.
