Despite a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool, the Hammers showcased their resilience on the pitch. Meanwhile, Newcastle's astounding 8-0 victory over Sheffield United must have boosted West Ham's spirits.
Sheffield United's defense crumbled against Newcastle, highlighting their vulnerability to set-pieces. This weakness bodes well for West Ham, with James Ward-Prowse's arrival reinvigorating their set-piece prowess, reminiscent of their glory days under David Moyes.
Sheffield United has conceded the most goals from set-pieces this season, while West Ham has room to capitalize further in this area. Players like Nayef Aguerd, Tomas Soucek, and Kurt Zouma are thriving on improved service.
Vladimir Coufal, usually not known for his attacking contributions, has delivered pinpoint crosses leading to goals against top-tier opponents like Liverpool and Manchester City.
David Moyes has favored a 4-1-4-1 formation with a strong midfield presence, but he might shake things up by giving summer signing Mohammed Kudus his first league start, potentially adding more firepower to West Ham's attack.
As the season progresses, West Ham fans can anticipate more set-piece goals and improved attacking play, thanks to the resurgence of their set-piece threat and the introduction of promising talents like Kudus. Stay tuned for exciting developments from the Hammers!
