Is West Ham a Top Quality Team?
West Ham have a decent team that could realistically expect to finish in the top half of the table, which is what the fans want them to do. But like John says, the underlying numbers, they're missing all their chances. Specifically, one of the huge drop-offs for me this season is Jared Bowen who was massively important to them last season. And when they play in the counter, he's amazing. Him and Tony are just really good at playing on the counter attack, exploiting space in behind. Lots of wide focused possession play, lots of crosses, inverted wingers,. but he's playing with a front three normally with the central striker and two inside forwards - maybe inverted wingers
