In the chaotic world of West Ham, a single week can often make a significant difference — and this past one has been no exception.
From being booed off at half-time against Burnley a week ago when they were 2-0 down, to being frustrated by VAR in their recent draw against Aston Villa, the Hammers have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.
Despite the disappointments, West Ham’s season has seen a resurgence with a shift in tactics initiated by manager David Moyes. Moving to a 4-2-3-1 formation has allowed for a more dynamic attack led by Michail Antonio and supported by a trio of talented players.
This tactical change has not only led to more goals and positive results but has also brought a new level of energy and intensity to the team. The players are now pressing collectively, hunting in packs, and showing a newfound commitment to both attacking and defending as a unit.
The team’s recent performances have shown promise, with the opening goal against Villa being a prime example of the team’s improved attacking prowess and unity on the field. However, challenges lie ahead with key players like Edson Alvarez facing suspensions and injury concerns lingering.
As West Ham look ahead to their upcoming matches, Moyes must navigate through potential obstacles and hope that the international break does not disrupt the team’s momentum. The season is far from over, but the recent improvements suggest that the Hammers are on the right path towards success.
