A deep dive into West Ham United's troubles

David Moyes will return to West Ham United in 2019. He has struggled to stamp his authority in recent years. His time at Manchester United and Real Sociedad were disappointing. After Manuel Pellegrini left West ham, he kept them in the Premier League. The following year, the Hammers finished 6th and won the Europa League, which they did again last season.

West Ham are struggling this season. They have one win in seven games and are 18th in the Premier League table. The team has struggled to progress the ball quickly and score goals. Tomas Soucek's poor form has coincided with the team's problems in this area. The club topped the chart in terms of crosses into the 18-yard box in Premier league last season (2.58 per 90) but they are now in 13th place with 1.86 per90. David Moyes blamed his players for their poor play. He also blamed the heavy fixture schedule. West Ham have a club-record singing and highly rated Brazilian – Lucas Paqueta.

Lucas Paqueta has struggled to adapt to the Premier League. Pablo Fornals is mis-profiled and should be replaced by Maxwel Cornet. Tomas Soucek should also be dropped to start in place of Tomas. Flynn Downesr could replace him against Wolves. Gianluca Scamacca has scored thrice in the Conference League and made one start for West Ham. He could start against the Wolves after the international break. He has impressed the Hammers faithful in UEFA Conference. The new £12 million signing from Ipswich Town could also start. David Moyes needs to replace the players who have struggled this season.
