West Ham are a decent side and have that Premiership nous that we haven't fully acquired as yet.
Not knocking the recruitment and not saying that Trez and Wes are flops, but we're probably 4 points down due to them not hitting the ground running.We need them to improve, if they don't it'll be a struggle until January when we need a wide-man and a centre forward. I'm sure we've got money so I'm not concerned, and our defence will keep us in games but losing points before we run in to the big boys is frustrating.The likes of Batshauyi and Demari Gray might be available in Jan on short-term deals so I'm sure there's scope.
This is where Deano needs to show some flexibility with formations. I think Arsenal away is a good game to try something like a 4-2-2-1-1. Hourihane in there for his set piece threat and get the big lads up, play Grealish higher up the field and look to win free kicks. Be compact and we can nick something there. Heaton Fred - Engels - Mings - Taylor Marvelous - Douglas Luis McGinn - Hourihane Grealish Wesley
