#9 West Ham showing slight signs of revival
Trending
It was meant to be a landmark season in the club’s history for West Ham United, but the new occupants of London’s Olympic Stadium have had a nightmare in the Premier League so far. The Londoners have not been able to find stability this season and find themselves just above the relegation spots, battling for their lives.
However, it isn’t all bad for West Ham United in the past few weeks. Despite not winning in their last six games and drawing three, the Hammers have been good in five of these games, barring the game against Arsenal. It has only been a matter of consistency and organisation in defence. A bit more effort and West Ham can revive what looks like a terrible season.
#10 The season where ‘Defence’ matters the most
With 15 games down, there is a clear theme to be noticed this season in the Premier League. All of the teams that have been doing well this season have been defensively sound. While not much has to be said about Chelsea’ defensive prowess, Arsenal’s back four have been having a fantastic season. West Brom, too, have been solid this season – a classic Tony Pulis team.
On the other hand, teams like Manchester City and Liverpool have been good in the attack but very poor at the back. It has been the same case with Everton. Manchester United have been punished very often due to lapses in defence. Maybe it is true that ‘Attack wins you games but defence wins you titles.’
